Dawn Aerospace, a leading space transportation company with operations spanning France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the USA, has been selected by French company Infinite Orbits, a specialist in Geostationary Orbit (GEO) in-orbit services, to provide one of the propulsion systems for the Endurance mission, France and Europe’s first satellite servicing initiative in GEO. This mission will extend a satellite’s lifespan, advancing Europe’s commitment to sustainable and responsible space operations.

Marion Andrieux, chief commercial officer at Infinite Orbits, said: “Collaboration between companies is at the heart of space innovation, and this partnership represents a strategic decision for the development of our in-orbit services. The work already done together this past year for this project as in others, and the fact that Dawn Aerospace recently joined the French space ecosystem strengthens our bond.”

Endurance, an Infinite Orbits mission backed by CNES, will set a new standard for sustainable servicing in GEO and represents Dawn Aerospace’s first venture into GEO, showcasing the flexibility and dependability of their propulsion technology as part of France 2030’s strategic push for sustainable, high-performance, responsive space solutions.

Endurance will be equipped with Dawn thrusters, enabling fine-point manoeuvring for satellite servicing tasks. Dawn's scalable and modular chemical propulsion systems allow for customised configurations, ensuring mission adaptability alongside fast lead times for customers.

Jeroen Wink, director at Dawn Aerospace, concluded: ”As Europe’s first satellite servicing mission in GEO, Endurance places France at the forefront of satellite servicing. We are proud and excited to contribute to this pioneering project.”
