The Airbus Space Accelerator enables participants to directly benefit from the extensive space heritage and technical expertise at Airbus Defence and Space in the UK. From space start-ups to academics and non-traditional space companies, we help them to advance their technical offering, understand the commercial space landscape and build connections within the wider space industry.
The ten companies to form our first Airbus Space Accelerator cohort are:
ANGOKA develops cyber security solutions for smart systems that offer secure end-to-end, machine-to-machine communication over any data link. Founded by four serial entrepreneurs, who between them have five exits, including two IPOs, ANGOKA is a 34-employee SME with headquarters in Belfast and offices in London and The Hague.
Applied Atomics is building the world’s first rapid response network in space to provide rapid response services to any location on Earth within minutes, not months. Its network of vehicles is propelled by an innovative propulsion system that utilises one of the universe’s most ubiquitous resources, water, as fuel.
Aquark Technologies is a startup focusing on improving the size, weight, power and cost of quantum systems based on cold matter to accelerate the development and the adoption of sensors built on this platform.
BioOrbit is building a pharmaceuticals factory in space to revolutionise cancer treatment and disrupt the antibody market. Through hardware for large-scale crystallisation of proteins, BioOrbit can provide a transition from intravenous (injecting into a vein) to subcutaneous (injecting under the skin) administration of cancer treatments.
Calnex Solutions is a UK company, which designs, produces and markets test and measurement instrumentation and solutions for the telecoms and cloud computing industries. The company’s portfolio enables research and development (R&D), pre-deployment and in-service testing for network technologies and networked applications.
D-RisQ exploits automatic proof to improve the time and cost for the development of safety and security critical aerospace control software by up to 80%. From system requirements, through software requirements, design, source code and the binary, D-RisQ has developed tools that improve productivity.
LIA Aerospace is a green propulsion company that designs and manufactures novel propulsion systems utilising non-toxic fuels for purposes including satellite manoeuvring, enhancing versatility of satellite deployment by boosting launch vehicles capacity, descent manoeuvres for lunar and Mars landers and responsive defence applications.
Magdrive is developing high power electric plasma trusters for satellites in low earth orbit today, for deep space and beyond tomorrow. It provides a magnitude improvement in manoeuvrability at low mass and low volume for entirely new missions and business models.
Physical Mind London develops astronaut and parastronaut exercise hardware solutions, providing comprehensive solutions for human exercise healthcare in low earth orbit and lunar space stations. Its portfolio includes innovative exercise equipment, training solutions, astronaut monitoring and exercise programming.
Yondar has a vision is to maximise the number of students choosing STEM, staying in STEM and graduating in STEM. It engages students with exciting STEM activities, including space technologies and provides nano satellite design courses, international competition and satellite launching services for a complete space science solution.
