Dawn Aerospace is a space transportation company with a purpose. Our mission is to enable the next generation of space users by providing sustainable and scalable ways to access and move around in space. We believe this access, in the form of a transportation network, will fundamentally change what’s possible from space.

We’re the fastest-growing supplier of green propulsion for satellites in the world. Our turnkey systems utilise safe, readily accessible fuels. We have an ever-growing amount of hardware in space having launched on the world’s busiest rideshare missions, flying on Falcon 9, Soyuz and Vega rockets.

We're also continuously working on cutting-edge R&D programmes. We’re building a spaceplane, the Mk-II Aurora, which will be the first vehicle in the world to fly to space and back again twice in a day. Mk-II takes off and lands on a runway, combining the performance of a rocket with the rapid reusability and economic model of an aircraft. Mk-II is a technology demonstrator for the Mk-III which will ultimately fly satellites, enabling an entirely new way to access space.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment with Dawn is decided based on merit, competence and qualifications and will not be influenced in any other manner.

Dawn Aerospace is an Accredited Employer with Immigration New Zealand.
