¿Quiénes somos?
Estamos liderando el desarrollo del primer sistema de propulsión eléctrica air breathing (ABEP) diseñado específicamente para la órbita terrestre muy baja (VLEO). Este motor revolucionario permite que los satélites operen entre 150 y 300 km de altitud, captando y utilizando partículas atmosféricas como propulsor.
Al eliminar la necesidad de transportar combustible a bordo, aumentamos drásticamente la eficiencia y superamos el principal desafío de la resistencia atmosférica en VLEO. Esta tecnología disruptiva abre la puerta a una nueva generación de servicios espaciales, desde la observación de la Tierra en alta resolución hasta las comunicaciones casi en tiempo real.
Para hacerlo posible, contamos con un equipo de profesionales apasionados, visionarios y comprometidos con superar los límites de lo posible. Si compartes esta pasión y quieres dejar tu huella en el futuro de la industria espacial, queremos conocerte.
