LOLA (Landing Opportunities for Lunar Activities)

LOLA is the lander that will allow your instruments, rovers, and payloads to safely land on the Moon.

LOLA stands for Landing Opportunities for Lunar Activities and intends to generate opportunities for the future of lunar exploration. It will allow the delivery of payloads and instruments developed to perform “in-situ resources utilization” on the Moon.

The vehicle will allow to transport up to 100 kilograms of payloads to the lunar surface. These payloads can be either hosted on-board, or delivered to the surface once LOLA finishes with the descent and landing maneuvers.

LOLA is currently under development. Phase 0 has been completed.

LUCAS (Lunar Cargo Services)

LUCAS is the most advance vehicle that will provide cargo services to orbits around the Moon. LUCAS stands for Lunar Cargo Services and is the most advanced development ever made by UARX Space. It allows to transport up to 1000 kilograms of payloads to the Moon orbit in three days, and tons of payloads when using low-thrust propulsion.

The orbiter is designed to be adaptable to the mission requirements. Depending on the mission, it could use chemical propulsion to get to the Moon's orbit in a few days, or use low-thrust propulsion and take several months.

To complete the number of services offered, the spacecraft allows the attachment of a lander using a standard mechanical interface, so vehicles like LOLA can be delivered to the desired destination prior to start with the descent and landing maneuvers.

LUCAS is currently under development. Phase 0 has been completed.

OSSIE: Orbit Solutions to Simplify Injection and Exploration

OSSIE is the vehicle that simplifies the ride to your final destination in orbit, so you can design your satellite focusing in your area of expertise.

UARX Space, a Spanish in-space transportation services company, has selected Dawn Aerospace as its satellite propulsion supplier for its first OSSIE Mission.

OSSIE is compatible with UARX Space RAMI deployers and SAU&RON 15" separation systems, providing our customers an advanced CubeSat and Small Satellite mechanical and electrical adapter. Other deployment systems can be accommodated under request.

Using green propellant, OSSIE can perform orbital changes to deliver our customers right into their desired spot. From simple altitude changes to complex constellations deployment or SSO reconfiguration.

Conceived to be modular, OSSIE can carry CubeSats, small satellites that use standard 8" or 15" clamp-band systems, or even hosted payloads or PocketQubes

The OSSIE qualification flight will be launched in June 2025 and mark a historic milestone in the UARX Space roadmap.

UARX has been selected by Thales Alenia Space as a provider for the IMAGIN-e payload onboard the International Space Station in early 2023.
