Make your move in orbit

LYOBA, the missing logistics layer beyond LEO

For most payloads, reaching MEO, GEO, or any high-energy orbits is slow, inflexible, or prohibitively expensive. LYOBA is here to change that.

LYOBA is a high-performance kick stage that rides to LEO on frequently launching international partner operators. From there, it takes over moving up to 5 tonnes to MEO, GEO, or any high-energy orbits in under 24 hours, dramatically reducing the cost of accessing these orbits.

Ready for Operations

Storable propellants to move on your schedule.

In-space propulsion systems that use cryogenic propellants face boil-off within hours, forcing a tight fuelling schedule and costly ground segment equipment. LYOBA skips that: RP-1 and HTP, the storable propellants we use, need no cryogenics infrastructure to install or maintain, so launch operations save on cost while LYOBA moves on its own schedule.
