Wiener Spin-Off Gate Space starts revolutionary space mission!

Wien, Österreich - on new stars! Gate Space, a spin-off at the Technical University of Vienna, is about to start the first big space. As the breeding box in the coming year will bring a spacex rocket to the company's resolution with a new drive system. For Gate Space, which was only founded in 2022, this marks a decisive moment in the company's history.

"This is a great success for us," says CEO Moritz Novak proudly. The details of the mission remain a well -kept secret, but are to be published in the summer of 2026. However, one thing is certain: This mission gives the starting signal for the series production of the innovative engines that are already talks with potential customers and are intended to revolutionize agility and control options for satellites in space. Thanks to Gate Space's patented technology, satellites can now maneuver more flexibly and controlled.

environmentally friendly technology for the future

The use of environmentally friendly fuels such as ethane and laughing gas, which are developed in close cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology, will be exciting. These fuels are characterized by the fact that they get by without additional compressed gas, which significantly reduces both the costs and system complexity. As noted from the gate space website, these environmentally friendly fuels are already used during the first space mission. According to Novak, the company has set itself the goal of bringing resource -friendly drive technologies into space travel.

gate space has already carried out over 2,000 successful hot fires tests that validate the performance of your drive solutions. The newly developed gate jetpack is a flexible drive system with which orbital transfers, mission adjustments, collision avoidance and even in or or orbit petrol stations can be implemented efficiently. After all, the system minimizes the development effort and accelerates the way into space.

A look at the space industry

Space and satellite technology is not only important for digital communication and weather forecasts, but has also achieved an estimated volume of 250 billion euros. Around 45 % of the income comes from commercial satellite services, including television, broadband, and mobile satellite services. As the epo describes in detail, it is estimated that in 2017 about 1 million people were employed in the space sector, which underlines the economic importance of this industry.

Austria's first Astronaut, Franz Viehböck, made an important contribution to the foundation of Gate Space with an investment of 450,000 euros in a pre-seed round. He emphasizes the technical and entrepreneurial know-how of the founders and looks optimistically into the future.

All in all, the Viennese company stands on the threshold of a hopeful era in space technology. With innovative approaches and a clear focus on sustainability, Gate Space could play a major role in the next generation of satellite technologies.
