Exotrail

Exotrail is an industrial and international provider of orbital services. It describes itself as an end to end space mobility company that supports growing space infrastructure. The company says its work makes space operations more secure and sustainable.

Its propulsion range includes electric propulsion systems and SpaceWare thrusters for small satellites. The company says its flight proven propulsion has completed more than 300 firings.

The space van is its orbital vehicle, which uses electric propulsion to reach a wide range of orbits. The LEO version has a payload capacity of 200 kg, a delta V of 500 m/s and 800 W of solar power. It is designed for orbits from 400 km to 1000 km. The GEO version has a payload capacity of 140 kg and is planned to launch in 2028 on Ariane 6, carrying payloads from transfer orbit to geostationary orbit.

In-orbit services include payload hosting, which the company describes as flight heritage for payloads. Last mile delivery takes small satellites from payload integration to deployment in their final orbit. A broader in space operations offer is coming soon.

The company's mission is to deliver mobility for a secure and sustainable space. It says more satellites raise the need to manage their movement, avoid collisions and deorbit at end of life. It also points to rendezvous, proximity operations and docking, known as RPOD, as a basis for reuse and maintenance. Inspection, refuelling and debris removal are described as future standard practices.

Recent news includes a partnership with Safran on an electric propulsion reference offer, dated 14 September 2026. Exotrail was also selected under France 2030 to lead a sovereign deorbiting demonstration with Astroscale France and Eutelsat, announced 10 September 2026. It also published a comparison of electric and chemical propulsion on 22 September 2026.
