Challenges that lay ahead for us.
How it all started; Once upon a time a small satellite was thrust into the heavens.
In 2033 that same, small, unassuming satellite will have been in earth orbit for over 75 years. A group of engineers, designers, and mission planners have come together to bring Vanguard 1 home. Back to Earth, and back to the United States of America.
By using cutting-edge manufacturing and design technology, SINGULARORBIT will create a new de-orbital model that will be in demand around the world. With technological solutions spanning de-orbital systems, deep space logistics, and mission critical payload return we are answering the call for a cleaner, safer orbital enviroment - on this world and others.
Step 01 - Determine if or not Vanguard is salvageable or not. We must also determine it's overall condition.
Vanguard 1 is in a fairly stable orbit currently, but its condition overall is unknown.
STEP 02 - Create a strategy and system to safely return it home. The strategy will make all the difference.
It's never been done. Capturing a satellite this old without human intervention.
STEP 03 - Accept that the future has just been changed, and we can now recover satellites.
Vanguard 1 will be on public display for people of all ages to see and understand it's journey - which is really our journey.
