space-based
Operating in orbit
Space-based describes systems, equipment, or operations positioned in outer space rather than on Earth: space-based weapons, space-based solar power, space-based telescopes.
The term typically applies to satellites, platforms, or technologies designed to function in orbit or beyond.
