Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Space Machines Company (SMC)'s second Optimus Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV), will launch on a mission designated Space MAITRI (Mission for Australia-India’s Technology, Research and Innovation). The mission will focus on debris management and sustainability, and will significantly advance Australia’s domestic space industry by combining Australian spacecraft capabilities with India's launch expertise. After separation, Optimus will perform a series of propulsive on-orbit maneuvers to inspect a space object in close proximity. It will then spend several months on orbit examining space debris to demonstrate affordable and accessible space sustainability technologies.

Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Earth observation micro-satellite for ISRO designed to test new technologies for building an Earth observation satellite in a micro-satellite bus. The satellite hoists an Electro-Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR) for Earth observation, a Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (GNSS-R) for weather studies, and an UV Dosimeter to measure UV radiation in low Earth orbit. Also flying is the cubesat Space Rickshaw-0.
