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.

As we continue to grow it's important to set ourselves up optimally for future growth 🚀 Last week we performed a Smart Industry Readiness Index assessment - a process that benchmarks us against the world's leading companies and identified opportunities and initiatives that will take us to that next level ✨ Thanks to with LMAC and Dave Armin for guiding us through the process. And special thanks to Callaghan Innovation for their support 🙌

We've had a blast in Glasgow this week at SPACE PROPULSION CONFERENCE ✨ Representing Dawn on stage, we had: Ralph Huijsman presenting the development of the rocket engine for the Mk-II Aurora 🚀 Dustin Holohan discussing how we size a system to fit a customer's mission needs (SatDrive is a process, not a product) 🧱 Romain Garby explaining the R&D process that allowed us to remove the burn time limitation from our B20 thrusters 🔥 Thanks to all the other presenters for sharing their valuable insights. See you again next year! ✨ #SP2024

Different satellites demand different forms from their propulsion systems 🛰 That's why at Dawn, we've standardized the interfaces for easy integration while keeping the form factor flexible.🤸♀️ Using Dawn's building blocks of qualified tanks, thrusters and electronics, our engineers work closely with customers to design a system that fits their needs 🧱 #satellitepropulsion
