Propulsion that docks with satellites already in orbit. More years in service. New orbits. New missions.
Static fire · Lab bench
The problem
Every year, 10 to 20 satellites in good working order are shut down because their tanks are empty.1
Illustrative
The module
A Stelle Space module docks with a satellite already in orbit and becomes its new engine.
- 01
Extend
Years more service from a satellite that already works and already earns.
- 02
Move
New slots, new orbits and new coverage the original mission never planned for.
- 03
Retire
A clean exit to graveyard orbit when the mission ends, on the operator's schedule.
Bench to orbit
Unparalleled integration cadence
Roadmap
01 · Now
Lab bench
Engines firing on the ground.
(current phase)02
Geostationary orbit
Docked modules keep satellites in service and move them to new slots.
03
Every launch
Modules ready to fly on a steady launch rhythm.
04
Higher orbits
Bolt-on boost that carries payloads past where their rocket stops.
05 · Far
Between worlds
Docking hubs where spacecraft refuel, re-engine and keep going.

Vince Lucich
Founder, propulsion engineer
Vince founded Stelle Space so satellites can keep flying after their own propellant runs out. He is a propulsion engineer with a BS in mechanical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, based in Golden, Colorado.
