The Exploration Company

The Exploration Company’s mission is to democratize space exploration, making it affordable, available and sustainable. To realize this mission, The Exploration Company develops, manufactures and operates Nyx, a modular and reusable orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and uses green propellants. 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 resupplying space stations around the Earth and the Moon, free flying around Earth or landing on the Moon – and safely coming back on Earth. Nyx starts with flying cargo and has the potential to carry humans in the long run.
