Sternula
Sternula is a new maritime satellite connectivity provider offering global AIS 2.0 connectivity. We launched our first satellite in 2023, and now we are seeking financing for another 4 satellites.
Digital communication with the ship bridge (like the cockpit of an airplane) has always been difficult, because the risk of cyber attacks prevents the use of open internet. To solve this problem, the VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) was developed by maritime authorities and industry. The technology extends mandatory AIS, and therefore we use the term "AIS 2.0". Sternula is Europe's youngest satellite operator and the world's first commercial provider of satellite-based AIS 2.0 connectivity.

Pythom
Pythom Space is developing a complete human-rated space transportation system. First up is orbital rocket Eiger - a small, affordable and ultra-light launch vehicle aimed at serving the rapidly growing small satellite market.
By working in a small team and developing key technologies in-house, Pythom is able to keep down costs and work exceptionally fast. Bringing 150 kg of payload to orbit at a price of 1.2M, Eiger will dramatically lower the cost of access to space for dedicated rockets.

POLARIS
The German aerospace start-up POLARIS Raumflugzeuge GmbH is developing a revolutionary reusable space launch and hypersonic transport system that operates like an aircraft.
Based on more than 30 years of German and European spaceplane research, the development of the spaceplane AURORA began at the German Aerospace Center DLR. Aurora combines aircraft and rocket launcher technologies with a unique vehicle design, and offers a game-changing economic viability as well as opening the door for routine low-cost and safe access to space.
In order to validate the technology and accelerate the spaceplane development, POLARIS has been developing a series of scaled flight demonstrators.
