That\u2019s a lot of space to leave unused. Commonly referred to as Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), the harsh environment is what scares away most operators. Ionized air is thicker at these lower altitudes, chewing away at most satellite materials and inducing drag that left unchecked will pull most spacecraft out of orbit in weeks to months. Overcoming this requires stronger thrusters than most fly, and more fuel that adds cost to launch. If someone figures out a way to vault those hurdles though, then the value of a lower orbit is unlocked: higher resolution images, higher power signals, and less power consumption for equivalent activities at higher orbits like SAR and PNT. NewOrbit has done exactly that, and they\u2019re ready to prove it with the first booked launch of a commercial VLEO spacecraft for 2028, effectively announcing this new spaceflight domain open for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core technology that\u2019s enabling NewOrbit to move faster than the roughly dozen other companies that have announced VLEO spacecraft in the past year is their thruster technology. They\u2019ve built a grid ion thruster that\u2019s modified to survive for over 5 years in the harsher ionized environment while maintaining impressive performance. NewOrbit CEO Anatolii Papulov explains why their thruster \u201c&#8230;is so special. The main thing which people are struggling with is that they need to bring a huge amount of propellant to stay at this orbit\u2026So we have a very high ISP of up to 4,000 to 4500 seconds.\u201d ISP, or specific impulse, is effectively the fuel efficiency of a thruster, and NewOrbit\u2019s is very high. For context Hall Effect thrusters are the most common choice for spacecraft and can only reach half the efficiency. While other grid ion thrusters are available, and becoming popular in Europe, the ISP is only half the battle. The high ISP makes them suitable for carrying a small load of fuel to VLEO, but they still can\u2019t handle degradation from atomic oxygen in high atmosphere. NewOrbit has solved this by refining their design as Anatolii explains they\u2019ve \u201c&#8230;developed a specific cathode that can operate on air itself and nothing will happen to it. There are no parts inside that can degrade. So if we have direct impact of atomic oxygen for many many years, it would be able to sustain just by what kind of technology we are specifically using.\u201d Such a thruster gives them unmatched capability for VLEO flight just by nature of there not being a comparable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rsz_1anatolii_papulov__ruslan_rakhimov.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rsz_1anatolii_papulov__ruslan_rakhimov.webp 780w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rsz_1anatolii_papulov__ruslan_rakhimov-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rsz_1anatolii_papulov__ruslan_rakhimov-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">NewOrbit Co-Founders Anatolii Papulov and Ruslan Rakhimov with their Ion Grid Thruster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just having a highly performant thruster is not enough though, you can\u2019t just attach it to any spacecraft and be able to fly at lower orbits. Perhaps as impressive as the thruster is the satellite they\u2019ve built around it. Anatolii emphasized that flying in VLEO is \u201c&#8230;a combination of many different technologies not only in propulsion but also in aerodynamics in attitude control, drag prediction, drag reduction and all of that. If you just have the thruster, you will not be able to put this on an existing satellite and make it work. You need to build the entire thing to make it work.\u201d To achieve this they\u2019ve built NEO, a spacecraft that can handle all the unique challenges of a VLEO orbit, including hosting payloads in a way that allows them to survive for full missions in atmosphere. NEO-1 is the first flight of this spacecraft that NewOrbit announced will be flying in 2028, and is already booked with several payloads including Genesia, the Japanese optics specialist that built the telescope for Tsubame, one of the two other satellites that have ever flown in VLEO. This payload will provide high resolution imagery from NewOrbit\u2019s spacecraft, and along with two other undisclosed customers, will prove out the benefits of flying closer to Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This announcement from NewOrbit is significant because it\u2019s the first concrete date we\u2019ve seen in the industry for the arrival of commercial VLEO. There\u2019s been several companies announcing their intention to develop spacecraft for the domain, but so far no strong signal on when they will be flying. Recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kreiosspace.com\/news\/kreios-space-selects-kongsberg-nanoavionics-for-first-ever-air-breathing-electric-propulsion-vleo-satellite\">Kreios Space announced their first flight<\/a> targeting roughly 2028, but hedging that claim by stating that they\u2019re waiting to see market demand solidify first. NewOrbit isn\u2019t waiting, they\u2019ve booked their flight with RIDE! and with customers onboard, prove the value that will drive the market to maturation. Anatolii is clear about the market he\u2019s serving \u201c&#8230;what we see right now is that the majority of the earth observation companies today always pursue higher resolutions. So if they want double the resolution they need to build a telescope which is eight times bigger. What they get with us is that they actually don&#8217;t need to develop this new type of telescope, they can just use our platform with the existing payload and get to the target that they want without new developments.\u201d Their Genesia customer brings past experience of flying on JAXA\u2019s VLEO mission to prove Anatolii\u2019s point, and flying their next imager on NEO-1 will not only further prove the operational readiness for VLEO imagers, but also kickstart the market by providing high resolution imagery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/spacetimespod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/NewOrbit_Satellite.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rendering of NewOrbit&#8217;s NEO Spacecraft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By proving out the market themselves, they\u2019re able to move faster than competitors, not waiting for demand signals or proof of operation.\u00a0 Anatolii explains that the plan they\u2019re executing allows them to leverage their own success to ratchet up to scale needed for full proliferation: \u201c&#8230;we&#8217;ll be able to manufacture a dozen satellites we will scale to produce hundreds\u2026you cannot go really into telecom directly with VLEO technology because if you&#8217;re deploying thousands of satellites, you have to make sure that they work before you do that. With Earth observation, you just have one satellite and you can close the use case.\u201d This approach allows them to prove out their technology early, while delivering real value to their customers and their respective end consumers. Then scale that success through mass manufacturing that they can build towards in parallel. This all lines up so that they can prove VLEO is open for business and be ready to respond to the boom in demand that all companies pursuing VLEO expects. Already we\u2019ve seen some signals from around the world that indicate this market is ready to arrive. In December <a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/space-exploration\/satellites\/spacex-lowering-orbits-of-4-400-starlink-satellites-for-safetys-sake\">Starlink lowered 4,400 of their satellites<\/a> to 450km, boosting the power of their signals, albeit shortening their lifetime. And last month in Europe, <a href=\"https:\/\/payloadspace.com\/europes-iris2-constellation-enters-the-build-phase\/\">IRIS<sup>2<\/sup> announced the addition of 20 VLEO satellites<\/a> to their hybrid communication constellation. This confluence of events is likely what\u2019s driving an increased interest in VLEO, but so far NewOrbit is the one betting biggest on its imminent arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NewOrbit has spent years developing the core technology, so they\u2019ve been preparing for this development long before the signals started appearing that a market may manifest soon. This is why they\u2019re able to move quickly to launch real payloads to orbit in a little over a year. If you\u2019re ready to access the improved performance from flying in VLEO, then be sure to reach out to NewOrbit as they still have a limited number of payload slots available for their NEO-1 flight.
