Arkadia Space

Happy 4th Anniversary, Arkadia Space! 🚀 Four years ago, Arkadia Space was just a dream shared by four passionate space enthusiasts. Today, we’re a growing team of innovators, now 17 strong—6 more than this time last year—united by a mission to revolutionize space propulsion. This past year has been one of incredible milestones: from completing the development of our propulsion module to preparing for its flight on a historic mission early next year. We've grown, learned, and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way—our team, partners, and community. Here’s to more breakthroughs, bigger challenges, and soaring to new heights together! ✨ Let’s keep making history. 🌍✨

This time, Francho García, one of our co-founders, had the opportunity to deliver this message at the Cassini Business Accelerator during the New Space Europe event. A huge thank you to the Luxembourg Space Agency for hosting such a world-class event and to the EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme Cassini Business Accelerator team for making it possible. Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come from Arkadia, and we promise, you’ll be amazed! 🚀✨ #greenpropulsion #CASSINI #Space #Newspace

Winners of the Best Sustainability Startup category at the Valencia Startup Awards! 🏆 This recognition holds great significance for us, as Arkadia Space was founded with a clear mission: to revolutionize orbital propulsion by replacing toxic and carcinogenic fuels like hydrazine with green alternatives. Our solutions deliver the same performance, significantly reduce costs, and pave the way for a more sustainable future in space exploration. A heartfelt thank you to Ajuntament de València, València Innovation Capital and Startup Valencia for this award and for fostering initiatives like this, which highlight the incredible work startups are doing every day. 🙌✨   #ValenciaStartupAwards #Sustainability #Innovation #GreenPropulsion #ArkadiaSpace 🚀

This year’s Space Tech Expo Europe has been absolutely incredible! 🚀 Despite having three team members attending (one more than last year), it felt like we were non-stop the entire time. (We barely had a moment to snap this photo 😂 ). Countless meetings, reconnecting with friends in the industry, discussing future collaborations, and solving (and getting solved) many questions—it’s been a whirlwind of productivity and inspiration. One reflection we’d like to share: compared to last year, this time we attended with a completed product—a fully integrated propulsion system. Seeing this leap forward in just one year fills us with pride and motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries every year. Once again, a big thank you to D-Orbit for showcasing our propulsion system mockup integrated into their ION satellite—it’s collaborations like these that drive us forward! Here’s to growth, innovation, and the amazing opportunities that lie ahead! ✨ #SpacePropulsion #GreenPropulsion #PropulsionModule #Bremen
