THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Orbotic Systems and Gran Systems are pleased to announce a strategic partnership that will integrate Orbotic Systems’ innovative deorbit device, the D3, into Gran Systems’ satellites. This collaboration marks a significant step toward promoting space sustainability and ensuring the long-term safety and availability of space for future generations.

The partnership was conceived over a year ago at the CubeSat Workshop held at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California, where representatives from both companies met and recognized the potential synergy between their technologies. Gran Systems, based in Taiwan, is a leader in satellite manufacturing, while Orbotic Systems is renowned for its cutting-edge solutions in space debris management.

The D3 device by Orbotic Systems is designed to comply with the FCC’s 5-year deorbit rule, which mandates that satellites must be removed from orbit within five years of completing their mission. The integration of the D3 into Gran Systems’ satellites will not only ensure compliance with these regulations, but also demonstrate a proactive approach to mitigating space debris and preserving the orbital environment.

“We are thrilled to partner with Gran Systems and integrate our D3 device into their advanced satellite platforms,” said Erik Long, CEO of Orbotic Systems. “This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to space sustainability and our dedication to developing technologies that keep space safe for all.”

Kuang-Han Ke, CEO of Gran Systems commented further, “Space sustainability is very important for the next phase of the new space industry and space exploration. We are very happy to be part of the pioneering team to make it an executable reality, and are excited to integrate the D3 into Gran Systems’ satellite systems.”

Both companies are optimistic about the potential impact of this partnership on the satellite industry and the broader space community. The integration of the D3 device into Gran Systems’ satellites is likely to set a new standard for responsible satellite operations and inspire other industry players to prioritize space sustainability.
