Bharat Innovates 2026 presents OrbitAID Aerospace, a pioneering Indian spacetech startup building the future of on orbit servicing, refuelling, docking, inspection, and satellite life extension. With a vision to create sustainable space infrastructure, OrbitAID is developing advanced technologies that enable satellites to be refuelled, serviced, and restored in space, significantly extending mission lifespans while reducing orbital waste. Through innovations such as its Standard Interface Docking and Refuelling Port (SIDRP) and orbital servicing systems, the company is helping lay the foundation for a new in orbit economy.
Bharat Innovates is taking OrbitAID Aerospace to Nice, France | 14–16 June 2026, showcasing India's growing leadership in space technology and orbital sustainability on the global stage.
As the first Indian company focused on on orbit refuelling and servicing, OrbitAID is advancing breakthrough capabilities that can extend satellite lifetimes, improve mission flexibility, and support the future of autonomous space operations. With successful technology demonstrations and ambitious missions such as AayulSAT, OrbitAID represents India's vision for building world class space infrastructure for the global market.

“AayulSAT is more than a mission—it’s the foundation of the on-orbit economy,” says Sakthikumar Ramachandran, Founder & CEO, OrbitAID Aerospace.
AayulSAT will demonstrate on-orbit propellant, power & data transfer using OrbitAID’s patented SIDRP, qualifying India’s first commercial docking & refueling interface at TRL-9.
