Infinite Orbits, based in Toulouse, is a European NewSpace company specialising in in-orbit services for GEO satellites. Endurance 22’ was our first collaboration together – a mission film to introduce their GEO life-extension servicer to operators, agencies and investors who were still new to the idea of in-orbit servicing.
The video had to show, in simple terms, how Endurance approaches an ageing satellite, docks safely, takes over propulsion and finally guides it to a clean, controlled disposal. It needed to feel grounded and realistic, not like science fiction.
This first Endurance film became a foundation piece for Infinite Orbits. It set the tone for how they talk about life extension and space sustainability, and it laid the visual and sonic groundwork for everything that followed – from Endurance 2024 to OrbitGuard and their wider brand campaigns.


For Endurance 22’, we started by understanding who the story needed to convince: GEO operators, institutional partners and investors looking for credible, near-term solutions to end-of-life satellites and debris. That clarity shaped the whole roadmap.
We broke the mission down into a sequence of simple, logical steps: the satellite nearing fuel limits, the introduction of Endurance, rendezvous and proximity operations, docking, extended service life, and final disposal. Each phase answers one key question around risk, feasibility or value.
The result is a roadmap that makes GEO life extension feel understandable and actionable, turning a new class of service into a story decision-makers can actually use.
Endurance 22’ set the visual standard for Infinite Orbits’ missions. We created detailed 3D rigs for the Endurance servicer and target satellites so we could animate docking, attitude control and orbit changes with calm, realistic motion.
To help non-technical viewers follow what is happening, we combined physically plausible movement with clean motion graphics showing orbit transfers, relative motion and key mission phases. The film stays technical enough for engineers, but never feels overloaded.
This approach makes the film feel controlled and trustworthy. Viewers can see exactly how Endurance operates and how it delivers value in orbit, without needing a background in astrodynamics.
Endurance 22’ is where the Infinite Orbits sound really began. For this first film, we developed the core of their sonic branding – a clean, modern delayed synthesiser motif that suggests precision, calm and forward motion.
In Endurance 22’ the motif appears in a more subtle form, woven into an original score that follows the mission from launch to long-term servicing. Layered sound design marks engine burns, attitude changes and docking contact without distracting from the visuals.
This film is the first time audiences hear what would become the recognisable Infinite Orbits sound, later refined and expanded in Endurance 2024 and OrbitGuard while keeping that same delayed synth character.
Endurance 22’ had a lot of work to do in a short runtime: introduce a new service class, stay technically credible and still feel cinematic. Our edit focuses on clarity and rhythm, making sure each mission phase lands before moving to the next.
We used compositing and colour grading to bring the spacecraft, Earth and UI overlays into a coherent visual system. This look went on to inform the rest of the Infinite Orbits visual universe.
Endurance 22’ became a cornerstone asset for Infinite Orbits, helping them explain in-orbit servicing to stakeholders at all levels.
As Infinite Orbits’ first major mission film, Endurance 22’ needed to be flexible. It had to work in investor meetings, agency submissions, conference talks and online announcements.
We delivered the main film in multiple formats, plus shorter clips focused on docking, life-extension and disposal. This gave the team a toolkit they could reuse and adapt as the company grew.
This delivery package gave Infinite Orbits a solid base to communicate GEO life extension and space sustainability – and set the story that Endurance 2024 and OrbitGuard would later build on.
