The Modular Orbital Transfer System (MOTS) consists of universal, plug-and-play orbital transfer vehicles equipped with customizable propulsion pods and interface units designed to attach to any payload type.

During a launch, the MOTS units are configured and attached to each satellite according to its target orbit.

Once in space, the primary launch vehicle delivers the collective payloads to a drop-off orbit where individual MOTS units execute autonomous transfers to the designated orbits using pre-programmed maneuvers.

The system is designed to optimize fuel usage and trajectory planning, ensuring precise satellite placement with minimal resource expenditure.

The modular design allows for flexibility and scalability across a wide range of satellite sizes and mission specifications.

MOTS offers the flexibility and cost-efficiency lacking in current solutions, minimizing bespoke engineering efforts and reducing mission complexity.

By utilizing standardized modules, launch providers can expand their service offering, reduce costs, and satisfy a broader range of client specifications.

Technically feasible with current advancements in propulsion and autonomous navigation systems.

Development costs are significant but less risky compared to entirely new propulsion technologies.

No regulatory approval is needed for MOTS as it follows established space deployment practices, but partnerships with launch providers are crucial.

Competing with bespoke engineering solutions is the primary challenge, but the standardized approach offers long-term scalability advantages.
