European Space Agency (ESA)

ESAs ambition is to make Europe a space commercialisation hub to launch and grow global space companies that make sense for our future.

At ESA, one of their top priorities is to help companies seize opportunities to benefit society and gain commercially from space — with the particular ambition of creating a greener and more digital Europe.

ESAs vision is to make the continent a space commercialisation hub, where innovative ideas can grow into world-beating space companies that bring benefits to people across the planet.

ESAs Commercialisation team is on hand to help space entrepreneurs in their journey from idea generation to business success.

The Exploration Company

The Exploration Company’s mission is to democratize space exploration, making it affordable, available, and sustainable. To realize this mission, The Exploration Company develops, manufactures, and operates Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit and uses green propellants. 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.

Nyx provides a wide scope of missions ranging from resupplying space stations around the Earth and the Moon, free flying around Earth or landing on the Moon – and safely coming back on Earth. Nyx starts with flying cargo and has the potential to carry humans.
