Cluster-1 · the first cluster of Orion’s Belt

Request to join the first cluster.

The first partners on Orion’s Belt fly first and shape what flies.

Join Cluster-1How it works

What joining means

A letter of intent between you and DeepSat. It holds a place for your payload, AI model or data need on Orion’s Belt, designed in from the start rather than fitted in later, and gives you a say in how the constellation comes together.

Government and allied missions join through the vehicles they already use. Commercial partners secure their place with a fee set out in the letter of intent.

What partners get

All the view, none of the drag, and a say in the design.

Your mission, designed in

Your payload, AI model or data need is built into Orion’s Belt from the start. The physical drag of reaching VLEO and staying there is on us.

A say in the design

Help shape how payloads, interfaces and data paths come together, and fly first.

A standing in the program

Your capability is part of how we present the Early Access Program to government customers, and your mission is in our policy and congressional advocacy for VLEO.

Two ways in

One cluster, two tracks.

Government and allied missions

No fee. You join through the vehicles you already use. Tell us your mission and we’ll map the path with you; the national-security brief is shared under NDA.

Commercial partners

A fee, set out in the letter of intent, secures a place for the first commercial partners. Your payload or AI model flies on heritage hardware and your data has somewhere to go.

How it works

Request. Talk. Sign. Fly.

Nothing before the letter of intent commits you to anything. We read every request and reply within a few business days.

Integrate and fly

Your payload or AI model meets our interfaces. We launch it, operate it and keep it flying.
