Fives supports Venture Orbital Systems in developing its Zephyr launcher with its Cryomec® pumps
Space offers endless opportunities to improve the daily lives of people on Earth. For years, satellites have orbited the planet to collect data about climate change or to improve our telecommunication and navigation systems. The current trend is faster launches and engineers are developing smaller and smaller satellites, CubeSats or nanosats, which are quicker and more affordable to build.
This is why Venture Orbital Systems is developing a microlauncher called Zephyr devoted to putting small satellites into orbit and whose first flight is planned for 2024. Nanosats can be used for various applications from telecoms to Earth observation and many more are currently in development in this booming market.
To support its project, Venture Orbital Systems has chosen Fives’ technologies, confident in its expertise in manufacturing Cryomec® centrifugal and reciprocating cryogenic pumps. Fives' teams will also provide their technical support to set up the Cryomec® LABS pump on Venture Orbital System’s test bench.
