A new voice joins the OrbitAID Aerospace Advisory Board 🚀
We are honoured to welcome Prof. Simone D’Amico of Stanford University, a leading expert in Rendezvous, Proximity Operations and Docking (RPOD).
Founder of Stanford’s Space Rendezvous Laboratory and a Fellow of AIAA and AAS, Prof. D’Amico brings over two decades of experience in spacecraft rendezvous and formation flying.
His expertise will support OrbitAID’s mission to advance India’s on-orbit servicing, life extension and refuelling capabilities.
Welcome, Prof. D’Amico! 🚀

India’s first satellite life extension and refueling demo is launching in Q1 2027. 🚀
OrbitAID’s AayulSAT-2A and 2B will attempt a first of its kind end-to-end mission: inspection, rendezvous and proximity operations, docking, refueling and life extension, all in orbit.
Could this be the beginning of a new era for satellite servicing? Read @jacqfeldscher’s coverage in Payload: payloadspace.com/exclusive-o…
India’s space ambitions are moving beyond launch, towards building the national capabilities needed to service and sustain assets in orbit. 🇮🇳🚀
@KRSakthikumar, Founder & CEO of OrbitAID Aerospace, had the opportunity to meet Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi and present OrbitAID’s critical indigenous technologies for in-space refuelling, satellite life extension, RPO and docking, capabilities that can form the foundation of India’s future orbital servicing infrastructure and fuel stations.
Grateful to @PMOIndia and @INSPACeIND for enabling India’s private space sector, and to our investors and partners @unicornindia @StartupTN @IISc for supporting this journey.
Building critical space capabilities at @OrbitAID to enable a stronger India in orbit. 🇮🇳
Introducing SAT-Pilot 🚀
OrbitAID’s indigenously developed autonomous payload controller the intelligence behind our upcoming RPOD, docking, refuelling, power & data-transfer missions.
Built in India. Designed to fly.

While the world talks space security, India is building it with smart maneuvers. 🛰
Robotic arms latching onto threats in low-Earth orbit. Rocket upper stages repurposed as 'orbital buses'. In-orbit refueling & life-extension tech.
India’s private space sector players like @AgnikulCosmos @OrbitAID are joining govt in delivering next-gen space defense.
This is Make in India at the final frontier. Tests incoming 2026.
