About
Leading the industry, space transportation and rideshare provider Spaceflight Inc. has successfully launched three different variations of its Sherpa orbital transfer vehicles (OTVs) carrying nearly 50 spacecraft, and is planning to launch several more in the next year. Beyond functioning as a port expander, these modular and flexible transportation vehicles are designed to bridge the gap between where a LV drops its satellites off and the satellites’ final destination orbit. Spaceflight will provide updates on the Sherpas on orbit, those next on the launch pad, and address future capabilities along with the increased demand for both orbital transfer to, and hosted payload operations in, higher Earth orbits and deep space.

At this webinar, you’ll learn:

● The status of Sherpa-LTE, Spaceflight’s electric propulsive OTV, from its year on orbit
● The commissioning of Sherpa-AC, which launched in May 2022, how it’s servicing hosted payloads
● Updates on Sherpa-LTC, Spaceflight's chemical propulsive OTV, which is being readied for a future launch
● Spaceflight’s GEO Pathfinder mission next year, which features Sherpa-ES and a lunar flyby, followed by return to Geostationary Earth Orbit to deploy payloads there
● How both commercial and government organizations are leveraging the Sherpa OTV portfolio to execute challenging missions to destinations that are difficult to reach
