CIRISatellite docking interface, built for refueling
- Based on an open European standard, no vendor lock-in
- Wide propulsion compatibility: chemical mono- and bipropellants, electric
- Berthing and direct-docking compatible
Fueling the orbital ecosystem
We provide refueling for the space logistics ecosystem, opening the way for a flourishing orbital economy
Mission
Fuel
is the most limited resource on-orbit
Every ignition is precious. Every maneuver planned years in advance. Space mobility is rigid and limited by the tyranny of the rocket equation. And when the tanks run dry satellites are discarded, even if they're still working.
We are breaking this limit
Vision
We create technologies for a circular, sustainable space ecosystem
- Satellites providing services to each other
- Agile space missions with reconfigurable and reusable space hardware
- Logistic supply networks and a cooperative orbital ecosystem of services
The future of the space industry is not built on bespoke, isolated, rigid space missions. Instead, we foresee hundreds of autonomous satellites working together to form a bustling ecosystem.
And we're building solutions to meet their needs
ValuesWe break the status quo
We break the status quo
towards a better future
Open
The space ecosystem of tomorrow must be based on standard, open solutions. Proprietary models hinder interoperability and slow innovation.
Cooperative
We work together with brilliant minds and organizations to foster a cooperative ecosystem breaking the barriers of isolated space systems.
Agile
We build fast, learn with an open mind, and iterate to deliver adaptable solutions. Decade-long design phases are a thing of the past.
Sustainable
It takes a lot to get hardware to space. We want to get as much use as possible from it with refuels, repairs and reconfigurations.
