Orbital Test Platform (OTP)

Rogue's series of small satellites that carry other companies' payloads to space for testing, giving them flight heritage quickly.

Why it matters

Startups and agencies need flight time before customers trust new hardware. Shared test platforms cut the cost and wait.

How the technology works

OTP-2 has been active since March 2025. OTP-2B is scheduled for Q1 2027, and OTP-3 bookings opened in July 2026 for a Q4 2027 launch.

Rogue handles mission planning, payload integration, licensing, launch coordination and on-orbit operations.
