Zeus's Lightning — Space
Program Overview
Zeus's Lightning is Orion Strike Technologies' planned space-domain program focused on the development of autonomous orbital systems supporting intelligence, surveillance, resilient communications, and future space logistics. The program is structured to build upon validated autonomy, communications, and energy technologies matured across air and maritime domains, enabling disciplined expansion into space operations.
Representative System Families
Orbital ISR & Space Domain Awareness Platforms
Planned autonomous orbital systems designed to support space-domain awareness, persistent surveillance, and secure data collection in support of defense and allied operations.
Resilient Space Communications & Relay Nodes
Space-based communications platforms intended to provide assured connectivity, network redundancy, and cross-domain data relay under contested or degraded space and terrestrial conditions.
On-Orbit Logistics & Sustainment Systems
Planned autonomous orbital capabilities supporting inspection, servicing, refueling, repositioning, and future logistics operations to extend mission life and reduce reliance on ground-based intervention.
Kenetic/Non-Kinetic Space Protection & Defensive Systems
Future space-domain capabilities focused on offensive, kenetic measures, defensive, non-kinetic measures to protect orbital assets, preserve mission continuity, and enhance resilience against disruption.
From Program to Deployable Systems
The Zeus's Lightning program translates these system families into mission-configured space platforms tailored to operational requirements across orbital environments. Detailed system configurations are realized through Orion Strike Technologies' system portfolio and core technology stack, enabling scalable and resilient space operations in contested conditions.
Zeus's Lightning — System Portfolio
The Zeus's Lightning system portfolio represents Orion Strike Technologies' planned space-domain systems derived from the program's representative capability areas and core enabling technologies. These future platforms are intended to support autonomous orbital operations, resilient communications, and long-duration mission sustainment as underlying technologies mature and operational requirements are defined.
OrbitalEye™
OrbitalEye™ is an planned autonomous orbital ISR platform designed to support persistent surveillance and secure data relay in contested space environments. Integrated with Orion Strike's autonomy and communications architecture, OrbitalEye enables adaptive tasking, resilient operations, and continued ISR performance under conditions of interference or degraded space-domain access.
SatStrike™
StrikeSat™ is an planned autonomous orbital platform designed to supports Kinetic and non-kinetic offensive and defensive and deterrence operations in the space domain. Leveraging adaptive mission execution and human-on-the-loop control, StrikeSat supports responsive orbital operations while operating with reduced dependence on continuous ground command links.
OrbitLog™
OrbitLog™ is an autonomous orbital service vehicle designed to support in-space logistics, inspection, and sustainment operations. Capable of autonomous rendezvous and task execution, OrbitLog enables extended mission lifecycles and operational continuity for orbital assets in congested or contested space environments.
