The brief

Analyst view
  • Jackal has 20 thrusters and 800-1,000 m/s delta-V for LEO, geosynchronous, and cislunar variants.
  • Completed Victus Haze rendezvous for U.S. Space Force in May 2026 at ~17,500 mph orbital speed.
  • Plans roughly a dozen missions in GEO and cislunar space over next 18 months.

Technical approach

As reported
Maneuvering

High-delta-V orbital vehicle

Jackal uses 20 thrusters with 800-1,000 m/s of delta-V, enabling close rendezvous and proximity operations at high orbital speeds.

Operations

Autonomous or human-commanded

The Mosaic software platform supports both autonomous operations and human command of Jackal for persistent surveillance and tactical response.

Variants

Multi-orbit capable

Jackal comes in LEO, geosynchronous, and cislunar variants to meet varied mission requirements across orbital regimes.
