I'm passionate about solving big problems by breaking them down, visualizing them clearly, and rallying other passionate people who want to make a difference. OrbitalMatch was created from that energy, fueled by the belief that even the most ambitious ideas, like connecting satellite payloads with launch providers, become possible when we work together with intention and clarity.

I created this platform because I saw a gap in how payloads and providers find each other, and I knew there had to be a better, more open way. One grounded in trust, simplicity, and forward momentum.

Also... my name is Rigel. It's a literal star. It's in my name to aim high.
