Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

Altius focuses on developing technology for orbital rendezvous and capture robotics, active debris removal, spacecraft mechanisms, assistive telerobotics, in-space propellant transfer, satellite servicing, and on-orbit assembly and manufacturing, according to information from the company.

“With its compelling suite of core technologies and the backing of Voyager Space, Altius is poised to propel itself to the forefront of the satellite servicing industry,” Loner said in a prepared statement. “The company has already gained incredible traction this year, and I’m excited to lead a very talented team into this next phase of growth for Altius.”
