Our mission – fast access to in-orbit testing

Space travel has changed – speed, agility, and time-to-orbit are what counts. With its GreenBox service, R-Space offers a straightforward, standardized solution for testing your technology in orbit.

You supply your technology, we take care of the rest.

Our Mission

Shaping the future together

R-Space is more than just a workplace—it is an environment where people with expertise, passion, and team spirit come together. Our strength lies in the diversity of our perspectives and our shared commitment to developing innovative solutions.

Why wait for TRL6/7 until embarking on a space mission. Early IOD or an IOD on subsystem level will provide the proof of feasibility and boost your funding and development

Exploiting the space environment

“This cooperation is an important step in strengthening Europe’s commercial space sector and expanding independent access to space through new partnerships. We are excited to welcome R-Space to our launch manifest, as private launch services play a key role in providing reliable and sovereign access to space for the technologies of the future.”

— Daniel Metzler, CEO and Co-Founder of Isar Aerospace

“R-Space empowers us to rapidly explore and validate new space innovations, and the collaboration has been highly rewarding.”

— Alexander Reissner, CEO and founder of ENPULSION

“R-Space's GreenBox service is an important element in Austria's rapidly growing space economy”

— Michael Moll, CEO of accent incubator

“Our vision is to provide an in-orbit testing service which, in the near future, shall be as quick and simple as any testing on ground”

— Carsten Scharlemann, CEO and founder of R-Space
