Space

Space offers an incredible amount of untapped potential that's waiting to be explored. We believe harnessing space's potential can bring improvements to our lives back on Earth, far beyond space tourism. One exciting area is researching in microgravity. What makes research in space so exciting is that up there, nearly everything behaves differently. Yuri unlocks access to microgravity by providing purpose-built labs and factories in space. Yuri facilitates experiments in space to leverage the benefits of microgravity for biological processes such as drug discovery and tissue formation. We can't wait to follow along with Yuri's lift off.

Gama Space is revolutionising deep space access with low-cost, reliable and scalable solar sails which could revitalise missions previously deemed too expensive or complex to launch. Solar Sails, giant mirrors in space, are accelerated continuously by reflecting photons from the sun, reducing size and expense dramatically due to the elimination of a need to carry fuel.

With Arlula, organisations can access a range of different provider satellites which collectively capture the earth in high definition. So, rather than working with one satellite company to task satellites, they can simply access the images from a range of different satellite companies on-demand. Arlula is working on a further offering of a SaaS platform to make it easy for new satellite providers to host, manage and distribute their satellite imagery.

Antaris is a software-defined satellite platform that accelerates the design, build and management of satellites. The platform gives customers the flexibility and security to ensure mission success. The team brings “new space” thinking to an “old space” world, solving the most pressing challenges for the industry to improve time-to-orbit and reduce costs.

The Exploration Company's mission is to make space exploration affordable, sustainable and open. To realize this mission, they have developed a modular and reusable orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit. The technical bricks of Nyx are built with open interfaces: they are available on a SpaceStore to enable space & non-space companies to use them and develop new applications.

Tilebox revolutionises the creation of scalable data pipelines from the ground up. Envision it as a dedicated ELT (extract, load, transform) tool, tailor-made for handling space data! The unique appeal of Tilebox lies in its seamless integration of multiple space service providers through a single interface. Consequently, companies gain access to data immediately after a launch. Tilebox's proficient and optimised data processing orchestrator deftly eliminates superfluous data movement, consequently diminishing egress and computing expenses. Moreover, the implementation of intricate use cases such as AI/ML algorithms is streamlined, reducing friction and allowing for the direct optimization of data processing pipelines. By harnessing the power of Tilebox in-orbit, companies can substantially reduce downstream volumes and latency, thereby enhancing overall data efficiency.

Auriga Space is revolutionizing space access with its innovative electromagnetic launch technology. The company's system uses a series of powerful magnets to accelerate spacecraft into orbit, eliminating the need for traditional rocket propulsion. This approach has the potential to make space launch more affordable, flexible, and environmentally friendly.

InSpacePropulsion Technologies (ISPTech) is a Spin-Off of the Institute of Space Propulsion at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Current space propulsion systems offer either low cost or a high reliability. With their solutions – based on thousands of hot firing tests at DLR’s facilities – ISPTech can serve both worlds: offering low costs with high performance and high reliability. ISPTech's two propulsion solutions are suitable for all spacecraft sizes and classes – ranging from cubesats to large satellites, capsules or landers.
