ABOUT US
OOO Orbitek LLC WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2021 IN ORDER TO MEET THE EVER-GROWING NEEDS OF SPACE INDUSTRY.
The company has extensive engineering and administrative platforms located in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.
The aim is to design and commercialize products of new generation, implement state-of-the-art technologies and design solutions aimed at cost reduction and thus enhancing the quality of thrusters produced.
Production of items designed for space application.
Is to meet the needs of space industry in terms of mass-produced electric propulsion.
The company’s ideology is focused on testing the product in environment close to the real one. To test an electric propulsion (EP) one needs to simulate space conditions, mostly the vacuum.
THRUSTERS AND PROPULSION UNITS ARE UNIQUE
The production approach is mostly individually-oriented. Starting with the design specification, main calculations and technical project, we discuss together with Customer’s specialists all ins and outs of technical performances that a thruster is expected to have, and thus create a working design documentation to manufacture a new product.
Advantages
In-the-house production
Continuous quality improvement of items produced. Test facilities that enable to perform the entire scope of the test.
Development
Flexible approach to acceptance testing depending on Customer’s requirements.
Quality assurance
Serial production and state-of-the-art quality management methods that ensure repeatability of performances of every single thruster produced.
Innovations
We create new technological approaches and guarantee the serial production of our products.

Thrusters represent the solution for a standard EP mission, namely to bring a spacecraft (S/C) to its operating point and stabilize the orbit along the lifetime, as well as to change the said operating point when necessary and perform de-orbiting maneuver to the disposal orbit.
