The mission of the French-German company is to democratize space exploration for space and non-space industries. To realize this mission, The Exploration Company develops, manufactures, and operates Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital vehicle which can be refueled in orbit. Nyx serves the low Earth orbit (LEO) and lunar destinations and starts with carrying cargo, with the growth potential to fly humans afterwards. The Exploration Company was founded in 2021 by experienced engineers and has raised one of the largest Seed Series in Europe backed by tier-one investors (Promus, Cherry, Vsquared Ventures).

SPiN
To lower the costs in satellite manufacturing, SPiN introduces innovative plug-and-play technology through a Multipurpose Adapter Generic Interface connector (MA61C). It powers, initializes, and manages the units connected to it, enabling automatic integration without any hardware or software modification. The universal adapter supports the COTS and serial satellite manufacturing industries.
Astrionics
Environmental monitoring is increasingly important for protecting nature. Spectrum Aerospace Research Corporation (Spectrum ARC) proposes a Remote Monitoring System (RMS) using industrial-grade electronics and multiple sensors. The Premium RMS adds navigation, wireless communication, and high-efficiency solar power (over 28%), enabling real-time, location-specific data publication—ideal for Earth observation and environmental monitoring.
Mynaric
Mynaric (former ViaLight Communications) wants to develop space optical communication terminals (OCT) to operational and commercial terminals. The prototype platforms were developed and successfully demonstrated by an Institute of DLR.
