    Cost-effective and flexible access to high orbits
    with fully electric orbital launchers and reusable deorbit pods that clear debris

Sustainable and Accessible

Powering a new era of sustainable exploration and orbital services

We believe that the future of humanity extends beyond the Earth. Our mission is to make that future sustainable and accessible to all.

Our fully electric electromagnetic launchers and reusable pods cut launch costs 3-5x while enabling mandatory deorbiting of legacy satellites.

Orbital Electromagnetic Launcher

Efficient shipping across the orbital network

Unlike existing systems that strap extra rockets onto satellites, our Gauss-cannon launcher propels payloads with pure electromagnetism, interoperable with current launch providers and optimized for cargo and deorbit services.

How does it work?

Charging Sheath equipped with cold propulsion and telecommunications systems,
and a ferromagnetic head for interaction with the launcher

Step 1

A conventional rocket places the loaded pod into low Earth orbit.

Step 2

The sheath is positioned at the rear of the launcher.

Step 3

The launcher control system calculates the exact velocity it needs to impart to the pod.

Step 4

After launch, the sheath follows its trajectory to deliver payloads or initiate controlled deorbit burns for end-of-life satellites.
