Technological advancements like reusable rockets and refillable space vehicles are making space more accessible. Several new space stations are being built around the Earth and the Moon, and the transportation market to reach these new destinations will grow from 5 to 50 billion USD in the next 10 years.
The development of these new space worlds has historically been done in an exclusive and often confrontational manner. Our mission is to enable everyone to participate peacefully in the building of our human future. To realize this mission, we are developing Nyx – a reusable and in-orbit refillable spacecraft that can be launched from any heavy launcher in the world and can fly to any space station.
The Exploration Company was founded in Q3-2021 by Hélène Huby and a team of space engineers who had worked together on the most complex European space programs like Orion-ESM, Ariane, and ATV. Our company operates out of Germany, France, and Italy, with offices in Houston and in MENA. We are the first European company which has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA. We are backed by tier-one investors.
