GATE Space - Revolutionizing In-Space Mobility
Addressing the Growing Demand for In-Space Mobility Solutions
The rising demand for innovative in-space mobility solutions has propelled GATE Space to the forefront of the industry. According to spacenews.com, there is a widespread perception of unmet demand for moving around small satellites in orbit, highlighting the need for innovative solutions.
GATE Space, as described by CEO Moritz Novak, is at the forefront of addressing this demand with highly scalable and flexible chemical propulsion solutions.
The GATE Jetpack: Unleashing the Power of In-Space Mobility
GATE Space's plug-and-play mobility solution, the GATE Jetpack, turns satellites into fast and nimble assets in space, capable of collision avoidance maneuvers and precise positioning in space. One key advantage of the GATE Jetpack is that it is a standard component and is therefore universally compatible with all satellites ranging from 50 to 500 kg.
This means that satellite manufacturers can add this mobility solution late or parallel with other steps in the satellite development process, saving significant effort and time. In addition, the cost-effectiveness of the GATE Jetpack surpasses competing systems, providing a simple and effective means to navigate space.
With this product, satellites gain unparalleled speed, maneuverability, and precision, enhancing their operational capabilities and expanding possibilities for space missions. To top it all off: the GATE Jetpack uses green propellants, making it environmentally friendly and sustainable. This innovation marks a significant step forward in the realm of satellite mobility, revolutionizing the way we explore and utilize space.
From Vision to Reality: GATE Space's Journey to Transform the Space Industry
The story of GATE Space began when the founders crossed paths at the TU Wien Space Team, a student organization dedicated to exploring space technology. With a shared passion for the cosmos, they leveraged their years of experience in developing space tech to conceive a groundbreaking plug-and-play propulsion system.
The founders' idea gained validation through participation in several industry events, confirming the market need for their innovative product. Fueled by this realization, GATE Space was officially founded in 2022, marking the start of the journey to transform the space industry.
Investing in the Future of the Space Industry
Recognizing the immense potential of the company, major investors have joined forces to fuel GATE Space's future endeavors. The first investors were Franz Viehböck - Austria's first and so far only astronaut - and David Niedermaier - Co-Founder & CTO of AGILOX.
Franz Viehböck has been a driving force in the Austrian space economy and highlights that "the technology of GATE Space meets the requirements of the market, which will grow tremendously in the next years. There will be a huge demand for thrusters like the ones from GATE Space."
According to the investors, they decided to support GATE Space because they "know the team, how enthusiastic they are, and what kind of technologies they are capable of developing."
