Independent Orbital Access. Autonomous Defense Above.
Aurelis + Shadowcat is Vesper’s clean‑sheet orbital architecture: an integrated launch and satellite system engineered from first principles to operate without dependence on legacy infrastructure. SHADOWCAT delivers true mobility: a containerized micro‑launch platform capable of encrypted ignition, rapid, austere‑site deployment, and near‑invisible ascent profiles. AURELIS completes the system in orbit with a self‑directing, maneuverable node built for secure signal relay, autonomous defense, and long‑duration survivability.
Key Capabilities
- Secure, infrastructure-independent orbital deployment using mobile micro-launch.
- Autonomous satellite operation with onboard AI for threat avoidance and health management.
- Encrypted, mission-locked activation tied to launch telemetry.
- Active relay support for structured Vesper transmissions in contested environments.
- Low-observable propulsion and defensive maneuver capability.
