GATE Space

GATE Space is a space company that builds high thrust chemical propulsion systems. Its products let satellites, capsules and landing vehicles make fast moves and hold precise positions. The company lists a Vienna address on Belvederegasse and says it is working on what it calls space mobility.

It has two named products. The GATE Jetpack is a plug and play mobility unit for ESPA class satellites. The company says it supports fast orbit transfers, mission changes, collision avoidance, in orbit refuelling and safe deorbiting. The GATE Thruster has closed loop control, deep throttling over a range of 1 to 10, and pulsed firing at up to 10 Hz. The company also makes custom solutions for a specific mission.

GATE Space says its engines are patented and use green propellants that follow regulations. It says they were proven in more than 8,000 hot fire tests, in the atmosphere and in a vacuum.

On facilities, the company says it runs a 560 square metre production site and a commercial test site for high thrust systems. It says it has an ISO 8 clean room, CNC machining, assembly and vacuum testing on site. It also says 98 percent of its supply chain is European.

The site says the team is made up of international space engineers and that the company works with other aerospace firms. A Chief Strategy Officer, Moritz Novak, is named as a contact. The site has a contact form and an enquiry link for each product.
