Hydrazine on board. Storable. No boil-off. More than anything in its class.
Range to traverse from low-Earth orbit through cislunar space and back.
Operational life designed for persistent presence in contested orbits.
Mission-configurable. Sensors, communications, defense payloads, depot.
Four thousand kilograms of storable hydrazine. No boil-off. Mission-ready for the full operational life. Ranger can refuel other spacecraft and take fuel on, on its way to the next orbit.
Hydrazine on Ranger does not boil off. Mission-ready years after launch, ready when the picture changes.
One thruster. Two modes. High-thrust for speed, high-efficiency for range. Switched on demand. Brought in via the September 2025 Phase Four acquisition.
Ranger passes fuel to other spacecraft and takes fuel on. The platform is the depot. Park in GEO, top up on the way to cislunar.
Most spacecraft optimize for one orbit. Ranger crosses every orbit the United States needs to hold, with fuel left for the return.
Crowded, contested, and increasingly under threat. Ranger operates here, but does not stop here. It deploys, refuels, and ascends.
The transition layer. Few platforms operate here. Ranger crosses through with payloads to deploy, sensors to position, custody to maintain.
The high-value belt. Communications, surveillance, missile warning. Ranger holds station here, refuels other assets, and continues outward when the mission demands.
The under-defended frontier. Ranger goes forward to maintain custody of objects that move where no other platform can follow.
The Earth-Moon corridor. Ranger operates here under DARPA's LASSO program, advancing the characterization of lunar resources for the United States.
Ranger is payload-agnostic. Sensors, communications, defense systems, depot, partner spacecraft. Configured on the ground for the mission the customer is buying.
Customer-defined. Ranger is payload-agnostic. Position the eye, anywhere above LEO.
Resilient nodes for distributed architectures. Networked across orbits. Hardened by maneuverability.
For Department of War and
Space Force programs.
National security first.
Counter-space campaigning.
On-orbit fuel transfer. Both directions. The vehicle is the depot. Refuel partner assets, take on fuel from depot platforms.
Carry and deploy partner
spacecraft where they are
needed. Ranger acts as the
carrier and refuels them on
station.
Ranger is engineered for persistent presence. Deploy, hold position, reposition, stay. Refuel both directions. Outlast competitors that cannot stay long enough to matter.
