About Obruta

Obruta Space Solutions was founded in 2019 with a vision of humanity reaching an interplanetary future. To achieve this, Obruta is building advanced autonomy technology and laying the foundation for a sustainable multiplanetary economy.

Today's satellites cannot be repaired, refueled, or reused. The single-use paradigm of the space economy restricts the missions we can perform and limits the market's economic potential. Obruta is changing this with our flagship product, the RPOD Kit. With a turnkey system for spacecraft rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking, satellite servicing and reusable logistics are being brought to the commercial market so that maintaining a spacecraft is as easy as maintaining your car.

If you share our vision, then we invite you to apply to join our growing team and help lay the foundation for humanity’s interplanetary future.
