Freedom of Movement in Space

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT THROUGH SPACE

We believe humanity cannot become a spacefaring civilization until it can move freely through space.

Every leap in human progress began with a new freedom to move.

Applied Atomics exists to make the next freedom possible.

“The era of static space operations is over. Adversaries are maneuvering on orbit, and operators across every sector need the ability to respond. Applied Atomics is building in-space propulsion solutions that make meaningful maneuver possible. What they’re developing addresses one of the most pressing strategic requirements in space today.”

“I spent most of my career trying to protect our critical space systems from hostile attack. The ability to rapidly and continually maneuver our satellites without regret is an absolute game changer. The force than move, sustain, and reposition without exhausting itself holds the initiative. Applied Atomics is attacking the core constraint: the trade-off between rapid maneuver and enduring mission life.”

“Star Reacher has the potential to move in-space logistics beyond single-vehicle limitations and toward network-scale mobility. By giving spacecraft, cargo, and defence assets access to shared mobility capacity, Applied Atomics is building foundational infrastructure that could shift the orbital industry toward lower-cost, lower-risk, high-cadence logistics across orbit and beyond.”

Simon Reid

Applied Atomics Senior Advisor; former Managing Director, D-Orbit UK

“The next generation of spacecraft will not be limited to one way of moving. Applied Atomics is building the architecture that makes multimode mobility possible: chemical thrust, electric efficiency, dynamic power, and trajectory optimisation working as one adaptive system. That is the foundation for true freedom of movement in space.”

Building the mobility infrastructure for space

The Star Reacher Network

The world’s first in-space mobility network

A universal mobility layer for post-launch inspace operations; giving assets, payloads and platforms access to the mobility capacity of an entire network.

Any orbit. Lower cost. Lower risk. Higher capacity. More mission capability.

Network-level delta‑v for your assets:

Satellites / Cargo / OTVs / Servicers / Refuellers / Stations / Defence / Infrastructure

Multimode Propulsion is Here

A breakthrough in space mobility

Applied Atomics’ alternating multimode propulsion system produces both chemical and electric propulsion from one integrated system, using a shared propellant; breaking the speed-efficiency trade-off.

Unlock mission and revenue profiles single-mode propulsion cannot achieve.

Single-mode size and cost. Multimode capability. Lower risk. Higher mission value.
