About
In its simplest form, it’s a free-flying rideshare deployer and port expander. In its most advanced state, it’s an interplanetary transport vehicle. Spaceflight’s next-gen Sherpa Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV) program is enabling small satellite transportation throughout cislunar space in a way that has never been accomplished before. Intentionally architected with modular plug-and-play subsystems, the Sherpa program offers customers true flexibility including multiple types of propulsion for last mile delivery, flight-proven avionics, direct space-to-ground networks and more -- all at an affordable price. Spaceflight will be flying two OTVs, its Sherpa-FX2 and the industry’s first-ever electric propulsion OTV, Sherpa-LTE1, on SpaceX’s Transporter-2 mission, taking 36 payloads to orbit. Join Spaceflight’s VP of Engineering to get the first look at the technology, subsystems, and the capabilities behind the ground-breaking program.
Agenda
  • How Sherpa can be easily and quickly modified for different missions
  • The capabilities of Sherpa’s modular electric and chemical propulsion systems
  • The command-and-control system driving the maneuvers of the OTVs
  • The custom-built avionics system, R2A, which provides higher fidelity data about separation sequences
