Deadeye Orbital
Clean space. Dirty work. The outfit behind the outfit — contracts, insurance, and the fine print.
Orbital debris removal — privatized
Deadeye Orbital
Clean space. Dirty work.
Space is becoming a landfill. We turn the landfill into a shooting range.
Save the world, take the shot
There is too much junk in space. Governments study it. Committees discuss it. Everybody agrees it is getting worse. We remove it.
Deadeye Orbital turns dangerous debris into funded targets, combines planetary stewardship with humanity's oldest enthusiasm, and makes the space around Earth safer — one spectacularly destroyed object at a time.
The outfit
One company, three call signs, and a very specific mission.
Vacuum Cowboys
The purest expression of the culture — the people who suit up, aim true, and take the shot.
Last Round
The customer-funded debris hunt. Governments and operators put up the bounty; we put up the shot.
The Longshot
Spacecraft. Weapon. Legend. Difficult mission, extremely distant target — on purpose.
How a round goes
Five steps between "that's a hazard" and "that's a payout."
Track
We catalog dead satellites, spent stages, and shrapnel — every derelict object cluttering low Earth orbit, ranked by how much it threatens to ruin someone's day.
Fund
Governments, insurers, and operators put a bounty on the objects that threaten their orbits. No bounty, no mission — this isn't charity, it's a shooting range with a business model.
Aim
The Longshot lines up the intercept. Closing velocities measured in kilometers per second leave no room for a second attempt, so there isn't one.
Fire
Vacuum Cowboys take the shot. One round, one clean removal, broadcast live for anyone who has ever wanted to watch space debris meet its maker.
Clean
The debris is gone. The orbit is safer. Last Round pays out, and the manifest gets one line shorter.
Transmission log
Names considered, in the order received. Static included.
- High Noon Orbital cinematic, inevitable, gloriously unsubtle
- Kinetic Frontier more serious, fundable, defense-contractor-adjacent
- Longshot Aerospace excellent double meaning — kept the name, not the company
- Black Sky Salvage darker, industrial, surprisingly credible
- Range Zero terse, technical, and menacing
- Clean Shot precision, destruction, and cleanup — in two words
- Orbital Outlaws fantastic brand, slightly harder to put on a federal procurement form
- Hard Vacuum sounds like a company staffed entirely by people who refuse to wear ties
- Vacuum Cowboys kept — that's what the crew calls itself
- Last Round kept — the customer-funded hunt
