Customizable to Suit Your Needs

Our first generation Docking Plate technology was successfully tested on-orbit during our ELSA-d mission in 2021. Since then, we’ve matured our Docking Plate offering with robust materials and flexible features, together with a scalable and reliable supply chain in order to meet the needs of commercial customers.

The second generation Docking Plate is flying with customers today and is available to purchase off the shelf.
