Morpheus Space, a leading provider of space mobility solutions, has inaugurated its first mass production facility for space systems in Dresden, Germany. The new "Reloaded" factory will begin by producing 100 units annually of the GO-2, Morpheus Space's second-generation electric propulsion system, designed to meet the increasing demand for satellite mobility solutions.
The GO-2 is a modular Field Emission Electric Propulsion (FEEP) system that offers reliable and continuous mobility throughout the satellite's mission. It aims to solve the mobility challenges faced by the space industry.
"One of the biggest problems satellite operators face today is the limited supply of available propulsion systems. We intend to sufficiently scale production of GO-2 to match this growing demand," said Morpheus Space President Kevin Lausten. "By offering a more affordable and readily available propulsion system able to facilitate all necessary maneuvers from initial orbit to de-orbit, the GO-2 marks an important leap for the industry."
Martin Kelterer, COO of Morpheus Space, who oversees production, emphasized the importance of meeting global market demand. "Production has the task of meeting the growing worldwide market demand for our efficient electric propulsion systems," he said. "To this end, the quality of the production processes is of paramount importance in order to deliver reliable and efficient products to our customers."
CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Bock, who recently spoke at the Munich Security Conference about the significance of mobility in Low Earth Orbit missions, has led the company to secure $28 million in Series-A funding. This funding round saw notable investments from Airbus Ventures and Alpine Space Ventures, backed by the NATO Innovation Fund.
"Availability, reliability, and fuel efficiency have been barriers to space mobility long enough," stated Daniel Bock. "We would like to see mass adoption of GO-2 so that we can establish a more capable and sustainable way for satellites to navigate our orbits."
