Exotrail

Last week Exotrail was in Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 to attend two big international space events. The week kicked off with SPACETIDE Foundation, and our Chief Commercial Officer, Sébastien Duménil, seized the opportunity to strengthen the bonds with our Japanese and other APAC partners. Exotrail also sponsored the 6th Summit for Space Sustainability, co-hosted by Secure World Foundation and the National Space Policy Secretariat, Cabinet Office, Japan - The Government of Japan. Our Chief of staff to the CEO, Maxime Jambon, brought the experience of a neo-space services provider to a roundtable on Active Debris Removal (#ADR), drawing parallels with the market of in-orbit delivery. The ADR roundtable was animated by Ian Christensen, and gave us the opportunity to pragmatically discuss the main threats in orbit and how to collectively overcome them. We insisted on the need for political momentum and the synergies between all In Orbit Services, if we want to bring cost efficient and relevant services addressing the next in-orbit challenges. With Exotrail, the French delegation stated its commitment to space sustainability, with CNES Vice-Director orbital systems and applications, Laurent Francillout, alongside Eutelsat OneWeb Head of Regulatory and Policy, Chehineze BOUAFIA - whose company just made it to platinum ranking by in the Space Sustainability Rating 👏

Exciting New Partnership 🤝 Exotrail and Thales Alenia Space have signed an MoU to create an advanced software solution for managing satellite constellations. Our #spacetower™ flight dynamics system software will be integrated with Thales Alenia Space’s OPEN SCC control solution, enhancing orbital maneuvers and satellite operations 🛰 This collaboration offers a flexible, scalable, and precise system for real-time surveillance and automated control, supporting the future of satellite operations and Europe's space leadership.

Exotrail were proud to sponsor the 38th edition of the International Electric Propulsion Conference last week! With over 700 attendees, IEPC brings the top talent in #propulsion from across industry and academia to the beautiful city of Toulouse for a week of discussions and #collaboration! Our team had a great time meeting all of you there, collaborating on the future of #space #mobility.

Exotrail has secured major contract to demonstrate capacity for #GEO satellite delivery service in 2026! 💪 Using our #spacevan™ orbital transfer vehicle, powered by electrical propulsion, we will deliver payloads from GTO to GEO within six months. A second optional mission is planned for 2027. By enabling the transport of small satellites to their operational orbit on the GEO arc, we are contributing to France's ambition of building cutting-edge space capabilities.

🌐 Last week Exotrail was proud to join the 67th session of the Committee On Peaceful Use of Outer Space, in Vienna 🇦🇹, on the invitation of the French delegation. 🛰️ Our General Counsel, Cécile Gaubert and our Chief of staff Maxime Jambon made a technical presentation on space sustainability, seen through the lens of a space logistics company. 🙌 Last Friday wrapped up with a side event organized by France, with contributions from Ambassador Delphine Hournau-Pouëzat, Aarti Holla-Maini (Director of United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs), Eutelsat Group, Safran and Exotrail. 🤝 This was an occasion to recall, in front of a worldwide United Nations delegation, the necessity to create bridges with industry. The space industry needs to learn from the “Vienna spirit” and the importance of COPUOS’s work towards a more #peaceful and #sustainable space. Public representatives can also benefit from industry feedback, as well as the insights on effective solutions companies can bring. 🌠 At Exotrail we believe that debris mitigation is key, and that all satellites – big or small – deserve efficient propulsion systems not to become a burden during collision avoidance or at the end of its life. We also believe that all complex services in orbit will require enhanced cooperation in the international space community, for instance, to ensure coordination on missions between satellites from different countries. Let’s tackle these challenges collectively, we are ready to help!
