A.R.C. is FAST Space Corporation’s Modular, Next-Gen drone — designed to operate across both defensive and operational roles in orbital, lunar, and deep-space environments.

First developed under the ARIA planetary defense initiative, the A.R.C. Drone quickly evolved into a mission-adaptive unit with the ability to protect, repair, support, and respond — entirely autonomously.

Core Capabilities:
Defense Mode
Armed with kinetic interceptors and onboard AI targeting, the A.R.C. Drone delivers real-time orbital defense against debris, projectiles, or unknown threats.

Utility Mode
Fitted with precision robotic arms, it executes complex repair work, hull patching, satellite repositioning, and mission-critical cargo manipulation.

Full Autonomy or Swarm Coordination
A.R.C. units can operate independently or as a cooperative swarm, adapting to dynamic mission scenarios without crew intervention.

Space-Rated Versatility
Vacuum-hardened and zero-G maneuverable, the drone is designed to operate in orbit, near-surface planetary environments, or deep-space stations.

Applications:
• Planetary Defense (ARIA)
• Satellite Servicing
• Crew Rescue & Emergency Response
• In-Orbit Construction & Assembly
• Cargo Movement & Remote Manipulation
• Scientific Sample Collection

Propulsion System:
The A.R.C. Drone is powered by advanced FAST-Hybrid Propulsion. The system is comprised of four mini-drives integrated into the drone’s lower chassis. These engines operate using a proprietary fuel blend developed by FAST Space — featuring our high-efficiency FAST SPACE Additive combined with Hydroxylammonium Nitrate (HAN) as the main propellant.

The result is consistent, high-thrust output with exceptional fuel efficiency — ideal for extended operations, rapid repositioning, and sustained orbital maneuvering.

The A.R.C. Drone isn’t just a system — it’s a guardian, engineer, responder, and builder all in one. Built for the harshest missions. Ready for the future.
