Our take
Exotrail is an end-to-end space mobility operator that is on a mission to allow small satellites to move in space so that the company can optimise its deployment and increase its performance whilst reducing space pollution. Ultimately, because of this, a new world of telecommunication, Earth observation and space exploration will arise.
Recently, the company became an official space service provider and completed its first "last-mile" delivery in space with its spacevan orbital transfer vehicle, marking a key milestone in space logistics. Alongside this, Extorail has formed strategic partnerships to expand its reach, including a collaboration with Isar Aerospace to launch multiple spacevan missions aboard Isar's Spectrum Rocket.
The company is focused on scaling up its known products whilst introducing and growing its newer products, including spacedrop™ and spaceware™ propulsion systems. With these innovations, the company is leading the way in space logistics, driving a more sustainable and efficient space environment while opening new possibilities for satellite-based services.
