Based in New Zealand and the Netherlands, Dawn Aerospace is building same-day reusable launch vehicles and non-toxic satellite propulsion systems. Same-day reusable launch vehicles do not require specialised space-launch infrastructure, integrate with everyday aircraft in nearby airspace, and launch as often and routinely as commercial aviation. Non-toxic high-performance propulsion systems for satellites of all sizes simplify systems and replace the poisonous and highly-regulated fuel, hydrazine, for small satellites. For CubeSats, they increase capabilities by supplying 1,000x higher performance than electric-based propulsion systems. By building these technologies in tandem, Dawn is creating the end-to-end architecture required for delivering, positioning, and returning spacecraft in a highly scalable and environmentally conscious way.
