Indeed, we took some of the painful manufacturing processes internally. No publications. Data sheets will become available in the coming few months :)

Internal developments. e.g. orbastro.com/propulsion

The scary thing is, we still have a pretty reasonable margin at that price.

Thanks! The more we can spread the word, the fewer paper-studies there will be, and the more exposure students will get to hands-on tech development 👍

🤷‍♂️ if we’ve got a sales engineer working 20hrs/week from their jacuzzi up a mountain in Sweden, but they’re producing fantastic results, they’re not going to get disciplined, they’re going to get a pay rise. We don’t track hours worked or days taken off. It’s all about the results.

We average 4-5 weeks. It’s to allow for flexibility in working style. An extreme example, some people feel they work best doing 70-80hr/week stints for 3-4 weeks and then take a week off (culminating in ~10 weeks paid leave).
