Rideshare
A place on someone else's rocket, bought by the kilogram, with a real contract and a real date.
Sectors
Five sectors, opened up.
Not one line each — the sub-markets inside every sector, so it is clear what we would actually sell and to whom.
01
Access
Transport to orbit and back
Getting a payload, an instrument or a person off the ground is still a negotiation, not a purchase. We make it a purchase.
What sits inside this sector
Dedicated launch
A whole vehicle for one customer, brokered, insured and licensed end to end.
Cargo and crew
Freight and people to orbit and to stations — the logistics, not the engineering.
In-space transport
Tugs and transfer vehicles that move things already in orbit to where they are needed.
Brokerage and insurance
Price per kilogram, risk per manifest, one contract instead of four.
02
Operations
Exploitation: what happens once it is up there
The launch is the cheap part. Everything after it — servicing, refuelling, assembly, bases, removal — is where the market is still being written.
What sits inside this sector
Orbital servicing
Inspecting, repairing and extending the life of a satellite that is already in orbit.
Refuelling
Sending fuel to a spacecraft instead of replacing the whole spacecraft.
In-space assembly
Building structures and antennas in orbit, larger than any fairing can carry.
Infrastructure and bases
Habitable and power infrastructure on orbit and on the lunar surface — the platforms later work is done from.
Resource extraction
Water ice on the Moon and materials on asteroids: finding, proving and pricing them.
End-of-life removal
Taking dead satellites and rocket stages out of orbit before they become everyone's problem.
Ground and data
Stations, spectrum and the data pipeline that turns signals into a product.
03
Passengers
Tourism, training and the people who pay
A small, loud market with slipping schedules — and the only segment where a European customer buys an experience, not a capability.
What sits inside this sector
Suborbital flights
Minutes above the line, sold as an experience; the entry product.
Orbital stays
Days on a station: the premium tier, and the one that needs a partner first.
Training and simulation
Centrifuge, zero-g, emergency procedures and medical screening — the qualification before the ticket.
Medical and certification
Who is fit to fly, and to what standard; the rulebook is still being written.
Insurance and liability
Informed consent, waiver and cover — the paperwork that decides whether a seat can be sold.
04
Discovery
Science and exploration — the Moon, Mars, and what is near us
Every era of expansion began with someone measuring what nobody had measured. The buyer is rarely the explorer.
What sits inside this sector
The Moon
The south pole: water ice, permanent shadow, and a legal regime nobody has finished writing.
Mars
Robotic exploration now, sample return next, and the infrastructure question behind both.
Near-Earth objects
Resources and risks in the same catalogue, found by instruments built by universities.
Instruments and hosting
Europe builds excellent instruments and struggles to fly them; matching one to a host is the product.
Sample return
Bringing material back is a logistics business wearing a lab coat.
Deep space
Science missions whose data has a buyer long before the mission has a sponsor.
05
Intelligence
The division that already earns
Before we operate in a market we measure it. That measurement turned out to be sellable on its own — and it funds the other four.
What sits inside this sector
Country scoring
Every market on the same 96 criteria, in the same scale; gaps shown as gaps, never as zeros.
Market reports
One segment, six layers: demand, supply, technology, capital, regulation, barriers.
Subscription
Monthly review of tenders, funding and new entrants.
Advisory
Standing counsel for a company actually entering the sector.
Brokerage
Connecting a buyer to a supplier where we already hold the map.
