Model 01
Application design study
A focused study comparing launch-and-deploy architecture against an orbital-manufactured member, including structural requirements, interfaces, feedstock, inspection, and mission economics.
Request study scope
Commercial platform
Metal, process, evidence, mission.
Ogun's commercial model is designed around what a flight program actually buys: a qualified member, a controlled manufacturing process, and a body of evidence that mission assurance can review.
Offering architecture
Enter at the layer you need.
Early customers can engage through joint research, application design, qualification planning, integrated hardware development, or eventual production service.
Process hardware
ForgeCell clarification module
A planned integrated process head combining deposition, electromagnetic actuation, thermal-gradient shaping, front-state estimation, and synchronized control. Delivered as an integration program for qualified robotics and orbital-platform partners.
- Wire-fed alloy deposition interface
- Field coil and power-electronics architecture
- Thermal shaping and front-location estimation
- Process telemetry and quality-state record
- Ground and microgravity test support
Production service
Qualified structural members
Mission-specific beams, struts, frames, antenna backbones, and repair members produced under a controlled specification, inspected, and delivered with the required evidence package.
- Application and cross-section design study
- Alloy and feedstock selection
- Qualification coupon campaign
- Returned or in-situ nondestructive evaluation
- Mission-assurance and fracture-control support
Data product
Materials and process allowables
A licensable materials database and process specification that connects field parameters, thermal history, defect statistics, and mechanical performance for defined alloy-geometry combinations.
- Defect-population distributions
- Mechanical-property B-basis development pathway
- Process-window limits and acceptance criteria
- NDE correlation and inspection probability
- Digital thread for each produced article
Orbital operations
Hosted orbital foundry campaigns
A planned hosted or free-flyer service that combines feedstock logistics, robotic deposition, clarification, inspection, and handoff to customer assembly operations.
- Mission integration and launch interface
- Hosted payload or dedicated campaign
- Process operations and telemetry
- Robotic transfer and assembly interfaces
- Returned samples or in-orbit acceptance
Beachhead market
Large apertures and primary structures.
Ogun's first commercial target is not a city-sized habitat. It is a high-value structural member whose continuous orbital fabrication can remove a fairing-volume constraint or a fragile deployment mechanism.
Candidate applications include antenna backbones, telescope metering structures, solar-array trusses, structural repair members, and large cross-orbit transfer frames.
Review application programsEngagement models
Commercial before operational.
Because the core physics remains under development, early contracts are structured as paid studies, research collaborations, qualification planning, and risk-sharing development programs rather than production orders.
Model 02
Joint development agreement
A milestone-based program that aligns Ogun's process development with a partner's flight geometry, alloy, robotics stack, or microgravity platform.
Discuss collaborationModel 03
Qualification partnership
A shared materials campaign to define coupons, inspection, defect limits, allowables, and mission-assurance acceptance for a targeted application.
Build a qualification plan
Future service layer
The hosted orbital foundry.
A recurring manufacturing platform is the endpoint of the roadmap, not the starting claim. It would host multiple alloys, geometries, inspection methods, and robotic customers under a common qualified process architecture.
Procurement questions
Commercial diligence.
Current engagements should be evaluated as development programs with explicit gates, not as off-the-shelf flight hardware.
No. The core clarification physics and qualification path remain under development. Ogun can structure application studies, research partnerships, supplier discussions, and future flight-program planning.
Depending on scope: a structural use-case analysis, process requirements, test matrix, qualification roadmap, interface definition, preliminary mission architecture, cost model, and rights framework for later hardware development.
The technical user is usually a spacecraft structures or mechanisms team. Mission assurance evaluates the material and process evidence. A satellite prime, operator, agency program, or infrastructure developer funds the program.
