Research abstract
Outpost is creating the world's first reusable satellites that will come back to Earth after mission completion and get refurbished for repeat missions. The commercial space vehicle is designed to make the cost of a satellite mission up to 80% cheaper and 100% cleaner. Outpost will use this feasibility study to research how it’s Earth return Ferry can meet the needs of end-users such as Air Force Global Strike Command and Air Mobility Command to perform precision landing of mission critical cargo in contested environments where GPS is denied.
