Drift Node

Segal AerospaceFree-flying deep-space depot

A depot in space for propellant and the logistics of a deep-space voyage.

What you get.

Segal Aerospace

Drift stores propellant, transfers it, and keeps a communications link with the vehicles it serves.

A depot connects storage with the vehicles and missions that depend on it. Tank arrangement, thermal control, transfer interfaces, navigation, and docking must support the same logistics plan. Inspection, communications, and the handling of an interrupted transfer are part of the operating architecture.

  • Storage

    Propellant is stored for more than a single departure.

  • Transfer

    Docking and transfer are designed for a reusable tug.

  • The link

    The depot stays in contact with the vehicles and the ground.
