Partnership Announced / Open Cosmos

Open Cosmos and Infinite Orbits partner on a two-satellite autonomous inspection demonstration

Infinite Orbits contracted Open Cosmos to design, manufacture and deliver two spacecraft for its Tom & Jerry LEO demonstration. The mission will test autonomous inspection and close-range orbital manoeuvres between a larger satellite and a smaller target spacecraft. It is intended to validate capabilities for future orbital servicing and space situational awareness operations. Launch is planned for mid-2027.

Why it matters

The partnership expands Open Cosmos into the growing orbital servicing and space domain awareness market, where autonomous inspection and rendezvous capabilities are becoming increasingly important.
