About the Company
We are a deeptech Newspace company founded in 2017. Following three years of development at Stanford and Singapore, the team has now settled in Toulouse to start its In-Orbit Servicing activities. We are now a team of 15 with 10 nationalities, exporting our activities over 4 continents. Our Mission is to offer satellite operators a competitive way of managing their fleet, from Inspection & Surveillance to Life Extension Services. Space Infrastructure is growing and so the need for maintaining the assets in orbits.
