The time is now
100 years after aircraft and cars, 50 years after computers, 25 years after mobile phones and the internet, now is the time of private space flight!
Making space flight safer and cheaper
Making a rocket reusable is only the beginning. Our technology developments will enable levels of reusability, safety and ease of operation that, combined with manufacturing processes and volumes, will enable aircraft-like launch frequencies and create true economies of scale.
Just as mass production transformed aviation and the automotive industry, next-generation, truly reusable space transportation will drive the cost of space access down by orders of magnitude — unlocking entirely new applications and creating demand far beyond today’s satellite launch market.
Small by design, broad by application
We believe the next generation of aerospace systems will not be defined by size, but by flexibility. Our approach is to develop small, modular and scalable technologies that can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles and missions — from responsive launchers, reusable sounding rockets and hypersonic vehicles to in-space mobility, orbital refueling and exploration.
And the potential goes beyond space. The same technologies can find applications in space infrastructure, space stations and even on Earth, supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.
Rocket expertise, inventive spirit, hands-on craftsmanship
When ideas are turned into real space hardware, this is where the Orbspace DNA shows its true strength.
Our rocket expertise helps us avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Combined with our inventive spirit, it drives us to create new solutions rather than simply reinventing what is already known — essential for global competitiveness. After all, not only is space global, it is also a global business.
And finally, our unchained passion for machining and manufacturing gives us the speed and flexibility to move from ideas to hardware — while maintaining full control over precision and quality.

Offering engineering services, consulting and prototyping
We offer our rocket engineering tools, skills and expertise to enhance innovation not only in space but also other sectors. We call that technological cross-fertilization. From open-source simulation tools to our own machining lab, we can assist you with cost efficient solutions from engineering design, simulations to prototyping. We cover four languages and are ready to support you in international projects. Give us a try!
1
Rocket expertise
Making rockets is one thing. Making reliable and safe rockets is another thing and requires experience and expertise.
2
A small hands-on team
To achieve low cost we don’t ask others, we design and build ourselves with a small agile “squad” team of engineers.
3
Craftsmanship culture
Our passion for craftsmanship is what enables unrivaled manufacturing quality. Because for rockets, quality makes the difference between success and failure.
