VLEO specialist

Our satellite platform is designed for sustained operation in Very Low Earth Orbit. It delivers high efficiency and long lifetimes, more than 7 years, in orbits that can extend below 200 km, even under the harsh near-atmospheric conditions.

Plasma Thruster

Our proprietary engine is an Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion system that collects atmospheric particles and converts them into plasma to generate continuous thrust.

Streamlined Platform

Due to the specific conditions of the orbit at 200 km, our platform is unprecedented. Its aerodynamics, materials and structure are tailored to such operational conditions.

Perfecting VLEO MISSIONS.

From early plasma thruster prototypes to the full satellite platform, Kreios Space has advanced its VLEO technology through years of research, development, testing and iteration; each step completing advancements and improving performance, efficiency, and reliability.
