Mission & Goals
HyPrSpace develops a new launcher based on a disruptive propulsion system named hybrid: easy to produce, simpler to operate and considerably less expensive (and more environmentally friendly) than conventional space propulsion systems. Unlike other New Space actors, our technology is intrinsically dual use: defence applications go beyond the simple “responsive launch”, with orbital and suborbital capacity to meet today's major geopolitical challenges. Beyond a disruptive launcher, we offer a turnkey launch service that significantly simplifies orbital launches for customers: rockets and launch pads that can be transported in containers, robust facilities, simplified launch procedures, a single point of contact for customers, and shorter lead times. Everything is designed to reduce the costs of access to space. HyPrSpace embodies an ambitious vision: industrial innovation with unique technological solutions that drive European autonomy in space.
EU Legislative Interests
HyPrSpace is interested in the implementation of the EU Space Programme Regulation (Regulation 2021/696 of the EU Parliament and of the Council of 28/04/21 establishing the Union Space Programme and EUSPA) and wishes to participate in initiatives under Horizon Europe and the European Defence Fund, which are key EU instruments for supporting innovation in the space and aerospace sectors. Additionally, HyPrSpace is following and discussing the European Commission’s initiative for a future EU Space Act, which aims to harmonise space activities across the EU.
