ORBITBeyond is establishing its global space systems centre in Bhubaneswar — designing, integrating, and manufacturing lunar landers, rovers, satellites, and AI compute payloads for missions worldwide.
The Mission
"The Odisha team does not receive finished designs. It co-develops — alongside the engineers who built those systems for Beresheet and Chandrayaan."
Why Now
NASA's Ignite policy (2026) mandates a higher commercial-mission cadence. The lunar market has shifted from single missions to production-line economics — and reliability is the scarcest commodity in it.
Our Presence in India
ORBITBeyond India's engineering office — systems design, software, and programme management for the lunar lander and satellite programmes.
Precision manufacturing partner with 20+ years supplying ISRO — lander leg components, rover assemblies, and 70,000+ precision parts for Chandrayaan-3.
Why Odisha
CTTC Bhubaneswar: 20+ years supplying ISRO — Mars Orbiter, Chandrayaan-1/2/3, and Gaganyaan. A space-qualified precision base already in the State.
India's aluminium heartland — lightweight aerospace structures for landing gear and rover chassis, sourced from the State's own metals ecosystem.
1 lakh+ technical graduates a year. World Skill Center: 99% placement. A frontier employer lets Odia engineers do this work at globally benchmarked pay — without leaving the State.
GO SWIFT single-window clearances, and a government that converts investment intent into approvals at pace. IP and design authority held in-state.
What We're Building in Odisha
Deployable landing gear — where Odisha's capability is most directly relevant.
Serial manufacture of lunar rovers — flown on group missions and sold worldwide.
Three product lines, one common bus — recurring export revenue.
AI compute engineered for the lunar surface — an advanced-packaging problem.
Two linked centres — NASA Marshall and Bhubaneswar.
Scale & Impact
Project Phasing
The Facility
Systems engineering, guidance-navigation-control, structures and thermal design — the design authority of the programme.
Assembly, integration and test in-house — clean rooms, thermal-vacuum, vibration, and the lander integration hall.
Rover and satellite manufacturing, scaling with demand — plus the AI data-centre and Bhubaneswar Mission Control on 4 dedicated acres.
Employment Generation
Plus ≈1,000 semi-skilled and blue-collar roles — ≈1,500 combined at scale. Sourced through CTTC and Odisha's ITI and skill-development channels, reversing the talent outflow that today sends the State's best engineers overseas.
Partner With Us
We are seeking engagement with the Government of Odisha, CTTC, IDCO, and strategic industry partners. A meeting with the Department of Industries has been requested for August 2026.
