OUR VISION
Where we are going...
ORBITAL TRANSFER VEHICLES
Presently, today's crewed capsules are promoted as all purpose. Earth return, deep space, lunar return and more. Designing one tool to fit every job is costly and ineffective. As an alternative path, Scout Aerospace envisions a vessel purpose built for travel between, LEO, GEO, and Lunar orbits. Once ferried to orbit, existing commercial capsules will dock with these OTVs to make the transfer to their final destinations, be it the Moon or space stations occupying the Lagrange Points. Outfitted for cargo transport OTVs will move construction materials and supplies to feed the growing cislunar economy.
LUNAR CYCLERS
First conceived by Dr. Buzz Aldrin in the 1980's, Cyclers are long range vehicles designed to leverage Earth free return trajectories 'cycling' to make returns between LEO and Lunar orbits at regular intervals. An OTV may rendezvous with the Cycler upon its arrival to exchange goods before the it falls back into another free return trajectory. While longer and more circuitous than a direct burn to Lunar orbit, the low fuel requirement needed to keep station on a free return orbit means that a constellation of cyclers may be orchestrated to created a supply chain of frequent and efficient deliveries.
HOW WE GET THERE
Scout's Current Activities
Space Rome wasn't built in a day. Here are some of the ways in which Scout is pursuing its Vision today.

APIS
APIS is our small satellite drone concept. It will serve as our Orbital Servicing and Manufacturing (OSAM) and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) technology orbital test-bed. As we acquire and develop new technologies each will be integrated into APIS to build the company's capacity to carry out on-orbit services such as observation, inspection, decommissioning, refueling, and repairs.

COMMERCIALIZATION
Scout Aerospace is always on the look out for new opportunities. We are registered with SAMS and CAGE for federal contracting and grants. We have submitted grant proposals to NASA and ARPA-E for photolytic decomposition of high test peroxide, and coherence phase matching of solar power satellites. We are currently reviewing NASA's Technology Transfer Program to bring experimental flight tested products to market.

ENGINEERING SERVICES
Space is harsh environment. Atomic oxygen erodes plastics and metals, radiation corrupts data, and unabated heat destroys your hard work. We offer our highly trained and educated team of engineers to solve your aerospace needs. We are educated and trained skills such as radiation protection, aerospace electronics, vibration analysis, heat transfer, orbital mechanics, and more. We include subcontracting and research support among our services.
