Turion Space’s proposed solution—Rapid Orbital Transfer + Servicing for Enhanced GEO Deployment + Asset Support—addresses critical mission needs in higher energy orbits such as Geostationary Orbit (GEO). The solution provides timely delivery of payloads to GEO via orbital transfer vehicles, enhances data throughput with optical communication terminal-based relays, and extends the lifespan space assets through in-space refueling.

“Our team is honored to be recognized by DARPA as an awardable solution provider within the ERIS Marketplace,” said Ryan Westerdahl, CEO of Turion Space. “This recognition validates our mission-driven approach to delivering scalable, dual-use technologies that increase responsiveness and resilience in space operations.”

Turion’s video pitch, accessible only to government customers via the ERIS Marketplace, presents an operational concept showcasing how its space mobility infrastructure can significantly support Department of Defense (DoD) missions in high-value orbits.

Turion Space was selected from a competitive field of applicants whose solutions demonstrate innovation, scalability, and mission relevance to the Department of Defense.
