About us
Based in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United States, Dawn Aerospace’s mission is to enable the next generation of space users by providing dramatically more scalable and sustainable ways to access and move around in space. Spaceplane Dawn’s suborbital and orbital rocket-powered planes operate much like a fleet of aircraft, taking off and landing horizontally at airports. Mk-II is a suborbital plane designed to fly 100 km above the Earth and aims to be the first vehicle to access space multiple times per day. An active test flight program of the Mk-II Aurora spaceplane demonstrator has seen 40+ flights completed. The vehicle serves as a technology demonstrator for the two-stage-to-orbit vehicle, the Mk-III. In-space propulsion Dawn is now a leading supplier of turnkey green propulsion systems for NanoSat, MicroSat, ESPA, and ESPA Grande-class satellites. Dawn propulsion technology often achieves superior performance than traditional hydrazine systems by using a unique, green-propellant combination; nitrous oxide and propylene. Having proven this technology on orbit for both CubeSats and small satellites, Dawn propulsion systems have now flown on Vega, Falcon 9, and Soyuz launchers.

Rockets and BBQ. What more could you want from a Thursday evening?
🚀 Join Us for the Annual KIVI Aerospace Barbecue! 🍖 We are excited to invite you to our yearly KIVI Aerospace barbecue, which will kick off with an inspiring lecture by Dawn Aerospace! 📅 Date: 10/10/24 📍 Location: KIVI, Prinsessegracht 23, 2514 AP Den Haag Program: 17:45 - 18:00: Walk-in 18:00 - 18:45: Dawn Aerospace lecture by Jeroen Wink 18:45 - 19:00: Q&A 19:00 - 21:30: Barbecue About Dawn Aerospace: Dawn Aerospace was founded in 2017 by former TU Delft Aerospace Engineering students and is currently a global company with a team counting 130 people. They are specialized in delivering scalable and sustainable space transportation solutions, develop and build both in-space propulsion systems as well as a space launch vehicle. During the lecture we look forward to be taken along the story of how Dawn Aerospace was created, what is the current state of the company and what are their plans and future ambitions. Currently they are in the midst of their test campaing for their MK-II Aurora, a rocket-powered aircraft. 🚀 After the lecture, we will continue the evening in the KIVI courtyard for a networking barbecue. We ask attendees who want to join us for the barbecue to enroll up front. Drinks can be ordered on the spot, we will make sure to provide the first rounds! 🍻 🔗 Registration link: https://lnkd.in/g2rwXAbe Register by: 07-10-2024 We look forward to seeing you there!

82 units in orbit. 28 on the next SpaceX Transporter flight. Hundreds of units on order. At this rate it’s not going to be long until we’re the most popular green chemical satellite propulsion in the known universe. #heritage
