Skycorp Inc. (Santa Clara, California) is building the Orbital Logistics Vehicle (OLV). This is the world’s first fully reusable spacecraft, through propulsion system “reprovisioning” which eliminates refueling and the ability to easily swap out payloads as customer needs and markets change. The OLV’s operational range is the inner solar system and its diverse payloads include RF, Optical, tug, and robotic servicing.

The Skycorp Orbital Logistics Vehicle ushers in a new age in satellite architecture. A space platform with a common interface bus allows customized payloads from third parties to be hosted in space. The OLV does for satellites what Open Compute did for data center design.

The Orbital Logistics Vehicle is launched in a protective container and assembled on-orbit at the International Space Station. This enables a lighter weight design while still protecting it from launch loads.

Skycorp Incorporated is pleased to announce the launch of the “intelligent Space Systems Interface Flight Qualification Experiment (iSSIFQE)” as part of the Northrop Grumman’s 17th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the orbiting laboratory, contracted by NASA. This payload is a flight qualification of the intelligent Space System Interface (iSSI) robotic data and power transfer connector, built by iBOSS GmbH of Aachen Germany. This connector can transfer up to 5 kilowatts of power, 1,000 BaseT Ethernet, and medium data rate CANBus serial data.

Power-beaming

Won $200,000 as one of the 7 winning teams of Phase 2, Level 1 of NASA's Watts on the Moon Challenge.

Skycorp Inc. won the $100,000 grand prize for its innovative system of power cells and intelligent interfaces for storing and distributing power through the lunar month's extreme light and temperature changes.

Skycorp was founded to develop and deploy advanced space systems. Skycorp began by developing the avionics and power system for the Space America launch vehicle in 1998.

intelligent Space Systems Interface (iSSI) Flight Qualification Experiment (FQE)

Launch of the “intelligent Space Systems Interface Flight Qualification Experiment (iSSIFQE)” as part of the Northrop Grumman’s 17th Commercial Resupply Services mission in 2022 to the orbiting laboratory, contracted by NASA. This payload is a flight qualification of the intelligent Space System Interface (iSSI) robotic data and power transfer connector, built by iBOSS GmbH of Aachen Germany. This connector can transfer up to 5 kilowatts of power, 1,000 BaseT Ethernet, and medium data rate CANBus serial data. Skycorp is also flight qualifying the “Polarfire” multicore RISC-V System on a Chip (SoC) from Microchip.

To accurately characterize the radiation environment for the computers involved and define the radiation environment on the Kibo External Facility, the ARMAS 9 radiation sensor package from Space Environmental Technologies and the Luilin Linear Energy Transfer (LET) sensor are also part of the iSSIFQE. The iSSIFQE will be installed on the Japanese Kibo External Facility for qualification in the relevant space environment (NASA TRL-7 level). This experiment will operate for 6-9 months and will be returned to the Earth for detailed examination after operations are complete.

The long term goal of this flight qualification is the incorporation of the iSSI, the Polarfire SoC, and the ARMAS 9 as standard modular hardware for the Skycorp Orbital Logistics Vehicle (OLV) which won a highly competitive award from the DoD Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for the Multi-Orbit Logistics Vehicle initiative. Skycorp and iBoss GmbH are also offering the hardware and software qualified for this mission to the spaceflight community to help foster advances in the state of the art in On Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM), in space.

Orbital Recovery

In 2001 Skycorp founder Wingo Co-founded Orbital Recovery. This company was founded to develop the market for the on orbit servicing of GEO Communications Satellites. With funding provided by telecommunications billionaire Walter Anderson, the company moved quickly into this business, capturing customers and developing the technology necessary to succeed in the business. However, this project stalled when Mr. Anderson was arrested and later convicted of federal tax fraud. Dennis developed his second patent (6,945,500) during his tenure working with Orbital Recovery.

Watts on the Moon

Skycorp won a NASA Centennial Prize for "Watts on the Moon" in 2021 and we continue with our advanced systems development. Skycorp also has the first Web Server on the International Space Station and this is how we control our current flight systems.
