France Opens Rocket Engine Factory
1 Oct
Summary
- HyPrSpace opened its first factory in France.
- The factory targets 100 rocket engines annually.
- A test flight is planned for next year.
HyPrSpace has inaugurated its first mass production facility in France, situated near Bordeaux. This new 7,000-square-meter factory is designed to manufacture approximately 100 rocket engines each year, sufficient for twelve of the company's planned orbital launchers.
The French space startup is gearing up for a test flight scheduled for next year. This development aligns with a broader trend of European companies seeking to meet the increasing global demand for space launches and satellite deployment.
HyPrSpace's strategy focuses on customers requiring dedicated access to space, distinguishing itself from larger players that handle mass satellite deployments. The company's Orbital Baguette One hybrid rocket, with fewer components than traditional rockets, aims to further reduce launch costs.
