In this episode, we discuss the groundbreaking concept of "gas stations in space" with Orbit Fab, a company pioneering in-space refueling technology. Explore how their vision of sustainable satellite operations is reshaping the future of space exploration and commerce. We also discuss the innovative solutions Orbit Fab has developed to enable spacecraft to refuel in orbit, their impact on mission longevity, and the potential to revolutionize the way we think about space logistics. Tune in to discover how refueling infrastructure could unlock new possibilities for space stations, satellites, and interplanetary travel, reducing costs and making space more accessible.About Orbit Fab:Orbit Fab was founded in 2018 to eliminate the single-use spacecraft paradigm with in-space refueling. Spacecraft are still limited to the amount of fuel they are launched with, which limits flexibility and poses long-term risks to the space environment.We resupplied water to the ISS, and launched the first commercial fuel depot into LEO. Our RAFTI refueling interface has become the industry-standard, and we have signed the first commercial and U.S. Government fuel delivery services deals.About the guest speaker:Daniel Faber is the Founder and CEO of Orbit Fab. He has over 20 years of space technology leadership, building and launching a dozen satellites for asteroid searches, environmental monitoring, telecommunications, and human habitation. As a serial entrepreneur, his first company developed a unique mining instrumentation technology utilizing gamma-ray spectroscopy, following which he worked on nuclear fusion reactors and then Antarctic communications.Familiar with the economics of deep-sea mining, Mr. Faber became CEO of Deep Space Industries where he secured millions in financing from VC and governments and grew sales from zero to nearly $10 million. With DSI he successfully changed global perceptions and regulations around space resources and positioned the company to systematically create and commercialize technology for asteroid mining.Daniel has an engineering background and an MBA from both UCLA Anderson and the National University of Singapore. He now leads Orbit Fab, which has developed two refueling interfaces that have quickly become the standard for commercial and government markets as the enabler for the bustling space economy. Orbit Fab became the first private company to resupply the International Space Station with water.If you find our podcast insightful, please like, share, and subscribe on ⁠⁠www.accesshub.space and ⁠www.oknikam.eu⁠.About Access HubAccess Hub is a global B2B market leader at the intersection of strategy, media, and technology, driving innovation across Space, Defense, Maritime, Aerospace, Energy, and Media-Tech.Built on three pillars, Advertising & Marketing, Consulting, and Supply Chain Management, Access Hub delivers high-impact campaigns, actionable insights, and trusted supplier-buyer connections.With a footprint in 120+ countries, 50,000+ monthly readers, and 250+ clients, we consistently deliver results: 75% average sales uplift and 4.85/5 client satisfaction rating.Whether you’re looking to expand market reach, unlock strategic intelligence, or connect with industry leaders, Access Hub is where industries converge, innovation thrives, and growth accelerates.
