Welcome to Our Orbit
Buckle up, frontier tech enthusiasts, curious investors, space junkies, and /r/space readers.
You’re reading the Rogue Orbiter, insights from Marhold Space Systems and your backstage pass to the future of space with just the right amount of out-of-this-world humor.
Space: It's More Than Just Cool, It's Crucial
First, let's talk about how space affects you and me. Space isn't just a distant frontier; it's intimately connected to our daily lives:
Weather forecasting? Thank satellites.
GPS navigation? That's space tech.
Climate change monitoring? You guessed it — space.
And that's just the beginning. Space exploration is fueling breakthroughs in fields like medicine, materials science, and renewable energy. The solutions we develop for the harsh environment of space often find surprising and beneficial applications right here on Earth.
But space is facing challenges — orbital debris, unsustainable practices, and lack of coordinated management threaten our ability to use and explore space safely. These editions will explore what’s happening, why it matters, and how we can fix it.
Why Rogue? You’re In Our Orbit!
Rogue Orbiter will be your go-to source on the greatest in space tech, especially when it comes to space sustainability. Space is cool (understatement of the century), but it can also be pretty mind-boggling and confusing. We make it easy to understand why space is a big deal in our society and how you (yes, you!) can make a difference here on Earth.
We're here to:
Break down complex space concepts into bite-sized pieces
Share the latest "Wow, that's amazing!" moments in space tech
Show you how our work in space is making life better right here on Earth
Introduce you to the minds behind our company’s mission
