ATLANTA, GA – January 28, 2025 — SpaceWorks Enterprises today announced a payload hosting agreement with Rogue Space Systems Corporation, facilitating the integration of SpaceWorks’ FuseBlox™ docking and commodity transfer system onto Rogue’s Orbital Test Platform (OTP-3) spacecraft mission. This collaboration will mark the initial orbital flight for FuseBlox and will enable future refueling operations on the OTP-3 spacecraft.
The agreement specifies the integration of a passive half of FuseBlox equipped with SpaceWorks’ novel fluid transfer system onto the OTP-3 spacecraft, which is slated for launch in 2026. In addition to preparing OTP-3 for future on-orbit refueling missions, the inclusion of the FuseBlox unit will also enable robust docking, power transfer, and data transfer functionalities with future servicing spacecraft.

Through this agreement, both SpaceWorks and Rogue are taking substantial strides toward enhancing space infrastructure and promoting sustainable space operations. The mission is part of an ongoing development and test program for Rogue’s revolutionary space logistics architecture based on the company’s Waypoint™ persistent platforms and Orblock™ payload containers. SpaceWorks, meanwhile, envisions FuseBlox as part of a modular building system that accelerates the utilization of structures, platforms, and spacecraft in Earth orbit and beyond. The deployment of FuseBlox on OTP-3 not only represents an exciting technical milestone but also sets a precedent for future collaborations and technological advancements in the on-orbit servicing sector.
