Nyx
Our vehicle is modular, reusable and in-orbit refuelable. It carries cargo and, in the longer run, humans. Launching from any heavy launcher worldwide, Nyx safely and affordably carries cargo to and from space stations in low-Earth orbit and beyond.
Do you want to demonstrate a technology, perform an experiment, or market your product in space? We have room for 300 kg payload.
The technical bricks of Nyx are built with open interfaces: they are available on a SpaceStore to enable space & non-space companies to use them and develop new applications.
Nyx provides a wide scope of missions ranging from 6 months around the Earth (and re-entry) to landing on the Moon (and coming back), or performing 100km hopping on the Moon. Nyx can resupply space stations and large space infrastructures. Nyx has the potential to carry humans.
Missions
- Moon And Back to Earth - 2028
- 5,500 kg to the Lunar Gateway.
- 5,000 kg hopping at lunar surface.
- 2,000 kg to lunar surface.
- Landing and hopping 50-100km point-to-point.
- To the Moon or Lunar Gateway, and back to Earth. Fast last mile delivery at lunar surface.
- 150k€ per kg starting at 150k EUR per kg.
- “This is our main business, servicing space stations,” she said. “Most of our missions that are in the business plan are two-thirds space station, because there is clearly a cargo need.”
- The company is aiming to conduct an initial demonstration mission using a prototype called Bikini in January 2024. That mission was originally scheduled to fly with Arianespace’s Ariane 6 in the fall of this year, but due to delays with that launch vehicle, The Exploration Company decided to move to the Indian Space Research Organization’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.
- Being launch vehicle agnostic now and into the future is one of The Exploration Company’s key differentiators, Huby explained.
Starlab Space Secures Three Cargo Missions from The Exploration Company, 2024-05-24.
- Starlab Space LLC (Starlab Space), the global joint venture between Voyager Space, Airbus, and Mitsubishi Corporation announced today that it has signed a cargo services agreement with the Exploration Company for three pre-booked cargo transportation missions to Starlab and back to Earth.
- The Exploration Company’s innovative space capsule, Nyx, intends to make logistical operations more accessible, sustainable, and collaborative. Nyx’s competitive pricing, reusability, and launch vehicle agnosticism, presents an optimal future solution to meet evolving market demands.
The Exploration Company raises $160 million for Nyx cargo vehicle, 2024-11-18.
- Those milestones include winning one of two contracts from the European Space Agency in May to begin studies of a cargo transportation vehicle. The contract, worth 25 million euros ($26.4 million), covers design work on a vehicle to transport cargo to and from the International Space Station. If ESA secures funding for later stages of the program at its next ministerial meeting in late 2025, it could lead to a demonstration mission to the ISS in 2028.
- The next flight for The Exploration Company is of a mid-sized capsule, called Mission Possible, scheduled for the middle of 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9. That capsule will spend three hours in orbit before splashing down off the coast of Hawaii. Baki said the capsule will have 300 kilograms of cargo from space agencies and companies seeking to perform science experiments or technology demonstrations on the brief flight.
- While Nyx Earth will initially go to the ISS, the company is targeting commercial space stations as its main clients. It has announced contracts with Axiom Space, Starlab Space and Vast for transporting cargo to and from their planned space stations. Baki said The Exploration Company has a backlog of more than $750 million with both those companies and with space agencies.
News
- Selected to participate in AWS Space Accelerator Program.
- The Exploration Company has selected SKYTRAC’s Iridium Certus midband Satcom terminal for data transmission from their space capsule to the ground. The Exploration Company has selected SKYTRAC’s DLS-100, cutting-edge data link transceivers, to be installed onboard this capsule demonstrator. Capable of real-time command and control, telemetry streaming, and photo/video transmission the DLS-100 will enable 22 Kbps uplink speeds through the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation.
- In-space mobility provider Benchmark Space Systems has been selected by The Exploration Company, a European start-up developing in-orbit exploration vehicles, to develop the propulsion system for its second demonstrator flight (‘Mission Possible’) which is set to launch in 2024.
- The Exploration Company and Frontier Space Technologies have joined forces as part of the UK Space Agency International Bilateral Fund (IBF) and will investigate within phase 1, the feasibility of a commercial end-to-end service for in-orbit biopharma research on Nyx, our reusable spacecraft.
- The Exploration Company’s Mission Possible Demo Flight Slips to 2025, Andrew Parsonson, 2024-03-09.
- ESA has signed two contracts with European industry to develop a commercial service capable of transporting cargo to and from the International Space Station in low Earth orbit by 2030, 2024-05-22.
- Starlab Space Secures Three Cargo Missions from The Exploration Company, 2024-05-24.
- The Exploration Company raises $160 million for Nyx cargo vehicle, 2024-11-18.
Crysalis
The aim of the Crysalis project is to develop a system for the transfer and long-term storage of cryogenic propellant in microgravity and for refuelling in space. This project opens up new prospects for exploration, particularly in terms of transport and storage in orbit and long-duration missions.
Status Comment / Notes
Start the Assembly, Integration & Test of our subscale capsule in summer 2023.
