Description

Atomos has created orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) to provide transportation services for satellite operators. These ‘space tugs’ are reusable propulsive machines that reside in space, and they complete transportation of cargo or satellites between orbits. This reduces the need for satellites to have their own large, expensive propulsion systems on board.
