Space: The New Frontier
summary
A European supply chain pitch: a launch company builds small orbital rockets for up to 1,000 kg payloads, raises over $100M from mostly European investors and targets first launch mid next year; engines use 3D-printed combustion chambers cut from weeks instead of years; component makers supply radiation‑hardened semiconductors and metal foils/powders proven for ~300°C thermal swings so satellites last 18–20 years while market plans scale toward 42,000–48,000 satellites.
