Agile satellites for the emerging space economy

Our Solution

The mission evolves. Conventional satellites can't.

A conventional satellite is committed to the orbit it was assigned years before it flew. One altitude. One vantage point. A single tank of fuel that only ever empties. Every move is a withdrawal you can't repay. You spend the whole mission rationing: conserving fuel, waiting for the geometry to come around, taking the maneuver you can afford over the one the moment calls for. Even buying more life means paying for it in advance: a top-up you schedule, budget, and coordinate long before you need it. The satellite doesn't run out of mission. It runs out of options. And before the fuel is gone, you're already buying its replacement.

The platform

The future of agile, refuellable, superior satellites is here…

Viridian builds satellite platforms that make their own propellant from the air they fly through, so they reposition on demand and keep flying for years.

Orbit on Your Terms

Revisit is a schedule for everyone else. For you, it's a decision: put the sharpest look where the event is. You control the orbit, rather than waiting for the orbit to come to you.

Better Performance. Capacity Where You Need It

Operating closer to Earth improves performance—lower latency, stronger communications links, and higher-resolution sensing. And when demand shifts, capacity can move with it rather than being stranded in the wrong orbit.

Defend our country

A satellite operating in a fixed orbit is a known target. Persistent maneuverability changes that equation. When an adversary no longer knows where you are, where you will be, or where you went, uncertainty becomes an operational advantage.

Careers

Viridian is building satellites that make their own propellant from the atmosphere they fly through. It is a small team working on hardware that changes what a satellite can do. If that is the kind of problem you want to spend your days on, we want to hear from you.
