Assessment

On July 4, 2019, then-board member Erik Wolf stated that The Orbiter Project would receive at least $100,000 immediately ('off the bat') from initial grants and corporate sponsorships upon launching its non-profit model. IRS public records for The Orbiter Project (EIN: 83-1251580) across the 2018–2022 fiscal years show that the organization only filed Form 990-N (e-Postcard), which is reserved exclusively for organizations with gross receipts normally not exceeding $50,000 annually. There are no Form 990/990-EZ filings, press releases, corporate sponsorship disclosures, or grant database entries reflecting any receipt of $100,000 or more.

The Orbiter Project (EIN: 83-1251580) is registered as a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2018 in Parker, Colorado.
IRS public records for 2018–2022 show the organization filed Form 990-N (e-Postcard), confirming annual gross receipts remained at or below the $50,000 threshold.
No public grant database records, corporate sponsor announcements, or wire services show $100,000 or more awarded to or received by the organization.
