Orbital Paradigm selected with Latitude to provide space experimentation missions to CNES!
An important milestone for us, announced this week at the International Paris Air Show. We are extremely happy to have been selected, alongside our partner Latitude, to provide microgravity missions to the Centre National d’Études Spatiales to enable in-space experimentation in the fields of biology and physiology. We would like to warmly thank the Centre […]
Orbital Paradigm graduates from Creative Destruction Lab – Space Stream
Orbital Paradigm has officially graduated from Creative Destruction Lab – Space Stream. The team is proud of having reached the end of the program, which is intense and selective: at each session mentors select which companies are allowed to pass to the next phase, and only a fraction of the companies reach the final graduation. […]
Orbital Paradigm: the Spanish startup committed to closing the logistics cycle in low orbit
Spanish startup Orbital Paradigm, founded in late 2023 by Francesco Cacciatore and Victor Gomez, has set out to solve one of the main challenges of the new space ecosystem: return transport from low Earth orbit (LEO). In a context of explosive growth of LEO activity, driven by mega-constellations, microgravity manufacturing, and the rise of commercial […]
IMPULSE: a commercial propulsion control unit for the Learn To Fly mission
Orbital Paradigm is part of the consortium led by Esc Aerospace for the IMPULSE project, selected by ESA for the First! Propulsion activities. In IMPULSE (Intelligent Management of propulsion Unit Logic with Smart Electronics), together with ESC Aerospace and SPHERICAL Systems, we will solve a persistent challenge in space propulsion—rebuilding GNC systems and electrical interfaces […]
PES3D II: a Spanish project to develop green space propulsion for reentry vehicles
The PES 3D II project is an initiative focused on green space propulsion systems developed through additive manufacturing. This advancement not only reduces the environmental impact of the aerospace industry but also enables new opportunities for biotechnology in microgravity conditions. The project, supported by the Support Program for Innovative Business Clusters (AEI) of the Ministry […]
Green Moon Project and Orbital Paradigm team up to launch a space agriculture experiment to orbit and back in 2026
Green Moon Project, the space agriculture science project dedicated to researching self-sustaining ecosystems for future lunar missions, has announced its partnership with Spanish startup Orbital Paradigm to carry out its first mission in Earth orbit in 2026, and send its cultivation experiment into space in such year. The project will travel aboard a pressurized capsule […]
