- MISSIONS | Orion
Orion Space Solutions supports a diverse range of missions. The breadth of mission needs showcases our adaptability and depth of expertise across all operational domains. SORTIE The Scintillation Observations & Response of the Ionosphere to Electrodymanics (SORTIE) mission was designed to map and further understand the ionosphere’s wave-like plasma perturbation distributions. SORTIE deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) in 2020 and demonstrated the first successful integration, ground calibration and flight of a single-aperture ion velocity meter instrument package for ionospheric measurements from a CubeSat. As a pathfinder mission, SORTIE opens the door to a “constellation of SORTIEs” that would then help provide an instantaneous global view of the Earth’s ionospheric structure and activity. RROCI Striving to bridge gaps and improve the functionality of space-based environmental monitoring (SBEM) systems, the United States Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC) sought a commercial prototype electro-optical / infrared weather system (EWS) mission capable of characterizing global clouds in near real-time to support Department of Defense operations. SSC selected Orion Space Solutions to produce the EWS Rapid Revisit Optical Cloud Imager (EWS RROCI). EWS RROCI utilizes commercial off-the-shelf systems to produce cloud characterization and launched in March 2024. LEARN MORE ORION-SUPPORTED MISSIONS Orion Space Solutions supports a diverse range of missions. The breadth of mission needs showcases our adaptability and depth of expertise across all operational domains. Our foundation in space science and physics allows us to deliver high-quality products and services to defense and civilian customers, and create technology solutions that can be used on Earth, in space and everywhere in between. DRAGSTER With the entrance of new international participants in space and with the rapid expansion of commercial activities in low Earth orbit (LEO), the number of space objects needing high-fidelity tracking is growing very quickly. The USSF currently tracks more than 29,000 objects in LEO, up from 20,000 just a few years ago. To address this challenge, Orion developed Dragster which improves the limitations of existing atmospheric drag models with its assimilative framework. This forward-looking design means that the Dragster tool can be optimized to leverage an ensemble of models most appropriate for the task at hand, and future improvements to any such models will flow directly into Dragster performance. LEARN MORE OSVW Sensor Ocean surface vector wind data is critical for weather models, forecasts, ship maneuvers and flight operations for all armed services, as well as commercial maritime shipping and drilling operations. Orion developed a SmallSat form-factor payload that uses the reflection of global positioning system signals off the ocean to measure sea state and ocean surface vector winds (OSVW) for weather forecasting. The sensor is still on-orbit and we continue to collect and analyze the data. EDGE LIDAR EDGE is the world's first small-scale topographic and bathymetric scanning LiDAR that can detect small underwater objects, measure shallow water depth, and survey critical underwater infrastructure from a small UAV platform—developed and produced at Orion. EDGE provides high-definition measurements both above and below the water surface and accurately measures the transition from land to water. Additionally, the tool provides simultaneous water and bottom surface detection at sub-centimeter accuracy and precision from shore through shallow waters—an industry first. LEARN MORE

Arcfield's Orion Space Solution announces a major advancement in global real-time weather data collection with the successful launch of its Rapid Revisit Optical Cloud Imager (RROCI). CHANTILLY, Va., MARCH 4, 2025 – Arcfield, a leading government technology and mission support provider, announced today a major advancement in global real-time weather data collection with the successful launch of its Rapid Revisit Optical Cloud Imager (RROCI). The innovative Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor, designed for accurate, timely weather forecasting, provides critical weather data to government agencies, bolstering warfighter capability. Launched in early 2024 via a commercial Transporter-10 mission as part of the U.S. Space Force's EO/IR Weather System (EWS) program, RROCI was designed to provide near real-time cloud scanning and terrestrial weather data with high precision. The sensor is mounted on a 12U CubeSat, which enables its compact and efficient design. When compared to existing U.S. weather satellites, RROCI’s objective was to deliver results that meet or exceed current standards in a CubeSat platform, for reduced size, weight and power sensors, highlighting its potential to set a new standard in space-based weather sensing capabilities. “The RROCI sensor is a leap forward in our ability to deliver rapid, real-time data for critical climate and weather monitoring in an affordable manner,” said Chad Fish, president and general manager of Orion Space Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Arcfield. “There are no other sensors currently on the market that have the potential to provide this quality of data from a platform of this size, showing just how powerful and effective miniaturized technology can be in tackling major global challenges." By using advanced proprietary sensors and commercially available systems with a compact, powerful design, RROCI can enable affordable deployment across satellite constellations, offering a level of coverage previously unattainable. "We’re incredibly proud of how Orion Space Solutions is pushing the boundaries of space-based weather prediction,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO of Arcfield. "The RROCI sensor is a prime example of our team’s engineering prowess. They have unlocked SmallSat possibilities we’ve never seen before, which will drive both national defense and resilience in ways that truly matter." RROCI’s data can deliver substantial benefits not only to the Department of Defense and civil space, but also to the commercial sector. By enhancing civilian weather prediction accuracy, the sensor bolsters emergency response capabilities, improving global safety and preparedness. Following the conclusion of the EWS program, Orion Space Solutions plans to make the RROCI sensor technology broadly available to government and commercial entities as the Spectre Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor.

- Arcfield’s Orion Space Solutions to provide near real-time atmospheric modeling data to U.S. Space Systems Command Space Domain Awareness TAP Lab Accelerator
The company’s successful demonstration of its Dragster model during the Apollo Accelerator Cohort 4 led to this award. The company’s successful demonstration of its Dragster model during the Apollo Accelerator Cohort 4 led to this award. CHANTILLY, Va., Feb. 25 – Orion Space Solutions (Orion), a wholly owned subsidiary of Arcfield, has been awarded a one-year contract to deliver atmospheric density data-as-a-service to the U.S. Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Tools Applications and Processing (TAP) Lab in Colorado Springs, Colo. The data will be calculated and delivered using the company’s proprietary Dragster algorithm and software. It will include thermospheric density measurements for specific locations chosen by the user, as well as adjustments to improve the accuracy of those measurements. The SDA TAP Lab Apollo Accelerator is a collaborative tech accelerator for industry, academia and government to solve critical SDA challenges. As part of the SDA TAP Lab Cohort 4, Orion joined approximately 20 organizations focused on developing tools for data processing, analysis and visualization. Specifically, the company utilized its Dragster model, a nowcasting solution that enhances the accuracy of orbit determination and orbit propagation of objects detected with optical, radio and radar sensors. During the three-month sprint, Orion successfully demonstrated how the near real-time outputs of the Dragster model can support SDA by mitigating collisions and optimizing communication resources. “Dragster is the only operational model in the world, run in an unclassified environment, that can model atmospheric drag with unrivaled accuracy,” said Chad Fish, president and general manager of Orion. “We are thrilled to receive this award and continue delivering Dragster’s data to the lab in support of SDA advancement.” With this award, Orion will deliver data-as-a-service to SDA TAP Lab Cohorts 5-8 for further integration with other technologies. For assets below approximately 600 kilometers altitude, atmospheric drag becomes the primary force disturbing satellite orbits. Rapid and accurate access to orbit drag insights enhances understanding of the space environment and can more accurately predict how low and very low Earth orbit can evolve over time. “Since its inception, the SDA TAP Lab has been successfully bridging technological gaps to accelerate the SDA mission,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and CEO of Arcfield. “We are honored to continue playing a part in its success.

- Uptick in Solar Activity Parallels Discussion on Effects of Space Weather on the Electrical Grid
Gathering of power industry and solar science experts in April focuses on early warning needs and opportunities Gathering of power industry and solar science experts in April focuses on early warning needs and opportunities LOUISVILLE, Co., April 28, 2022 — Our electric grid is at the whim of the natural world’s powerful forces – wind, lightning, Sun. As the solar cycle ramps back up in activity (a regular occurrence after relatively quiet period), the power grid reawakens to the threat of space weather, which has the potential to push the system beyond its tipping point. Space weather is a global and imminent threat, falling in the same likelihood of occurrence in the next five years as “pandemic influenza,”[1] but society is less prepared for a space weather disaster than another pandemic. Power grids are complex systems and solar activity resulting in geomagnetic storms can wreak havoc on grid infrastructure. Current ability to predict such storms exists, but is only as mature as weather prediction was 50 years ago. This makes good communication between scientists, emergency managers, and those in charge of the power grid essential. Such communications are often stymied by lack of common vocabulary and technical focus and understanding between the groups. Orion Space Solutions’ (OSS) Ryan McGranaghan[2] and his university and power grid collaborators strive to change this reality through the concept of convergence ,[3] or a radical merging of innovative ideas, approaches, and technologies from a diverse range of sectors and expertise. Through a National Science Foundation-funded workshop (Award Number: AGS-2131047) and with the understanding that to reimagine grid resilience, data from diverse fields must be open and broadly usable and the traditionally disparate communities must be connected, McGranaghan brought together experts from diverse fields to share expertise and take advantage of the spectrum of innovation, knowledge, and assets available within and across these groups. The group was animated by three questions: What are the research & development and operational gaps that emerge from a holistic view of the Sun-to-Power Grid system and what solutions can we imagine to address them? What is the composition of the teams that can create these solutions? How do we connect these gaps to existing programs and form bridges across them? “We designed this event based on a convergence approach to Sun-to-Power Grid resilience, recognizing that national-scale societal challenges require transdisciplinary collaboration and novel ways to facilitate it”, says Dr. McGranaghan of OSS. “So we created a simulation game that enabled individuals from every part of the system to communicate, learn, and understand.” The interactions were facilitated through an extreme space weather simulation game--a table-top coupled with simulation and observational data in an interactive environment to reveal novel research and development gaps for the Sun-to-Power Grid System. The novel simulation game identified linkages across knowledge areas to better anticipate, understand, and respond to effects of space weather on the nation’s power grids. The engaging three-day workshop generated new understanding about the complex sun-to-power grid system by converging the range of communities that are involved, identifying the research & development and operational gaps, and proposing solutions for those gaps. In a close, and novel, partnership with RWI Synthetics[4] , they demonstrated the human dimension of socio-economic impacts of outage by synthesizing the entire population of Washington DC, including social, economic, and medical details to model and visualize the individualized impacts of outage on the population of a city. The event was organized into three days: the simulation game, synthesizing lessons learned and gaps, and systems-building, which had teams of data scientists and domain scientists and engineers work together to prototype solutions. Critical outcomes include: A lessons learned database that cover how to achieve convergent interactions and guidance for future Sun-to-Power Grid interactions; Enumerated and organized R&D gaps that can guide the community in setting policy, advocating resources, and proposing new projects; and A knowledge base of simulation data, literature, a community exchange platform, and a template for running simulation games. The workshop is the next step in the successful NSF Convergence Accelerator Project the Convergence Hub for the Exploration of Space Science (CHESS)[5] which pioneered the paradigm-shifting convergent approach to Sun-to-Power Grid research, development, and operations. “Space weather is about societal resilience, multiphysics, and multiscale. This simulation game embodied all three facets”, says Dr. Mangala Sharma, Program Director for Space Weather Research at the NSF. The community the CHESS project has been cultivating along with existing programs and projects in the field includes representatives from the National Science Foundation, NASA, Department of Energy, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), United States Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), several national space weather programs, and numerous academic and private institutions.
