Orbitworks was established to help build sovereign space capability in the UAE. By creating local satellite integration, testing and mission operations infrastructure, we are enabling a new generation of defence, civil and commercial missions to move faster, operate with greater flexibility and access space through infrastructure based in the region.

Orbitworks partnered with Data Physics for their vibration test and measurement system – bringing pre-launch testing capabilities in-house within their Assembly, Integration and Test facility in Abu Dhabi. The facility brings together advanced infrastructure, specialist expertise and operational discipline under one roof.

Orbitworks Latest Achievement: The Altair Satellite Constellation
Turning Space Data Into Actionable Intelligence, Altair is Orbitworks’ AI-enabled Earth observation constellation, built to deliver faster, more operational intelligence from orbit. Developed and operated from Abu Dhabi, Altair combines multi-sensor sensing with onboard processing to help organisations move from detection to decision with greater speed and responsiveness.

Built for High-Value Mission Use Cases – The Altair constellation was designed to support missions across defence, civil and commercial sectors where speed, coverage and situational awareness matter.

After a successful vibration testing campaign, Altair was launched on Friday, October 2 from Vandenburg Space Force Base in California aboard the Transporter-18 ride-share mission with SpaceX at 11.32am Gulf Standard Time.

The Altair constellation can be tracked live from the Orbitworks website!
