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.

🛰️🇫🇷France putting thrust behind Green Propulsion ✅ Dawn Aerospace is proud to have been selected by Centre National d'Études Spatiales to help develop sustainable propulsion systems for the French Space agency's satellites. Dawn Aerospace will collaborate in this first phase with CNES to review key system specifications and verify the capacity of nitrous-oxide-based propulsion solutions to align with France’s strategic objectives for leading-edge space technologies. From our office in Toulouse, we look forward to collaborating closely with CNES with France’s future space needs. Progress starts here! Read more: https://lnkd.in/dZgj4zTA

Ever wondered why rocket engines create those mesmerizing patterns in their exhaust? Those are what engineers call Mach diamonds 💎🔥💎🔥💎 A rocket engine converts high-pressure, high-temperature gas into speed. For reference, the temperature inside of the rocket engine reaches a blistering 2500 degrees or about half the temperature of the surface of the sun ☀️. These hot gases then exit the rocket engine nozzle with a speed of almost 9000 km/h. When these high-speed exhaust gases exit the rocket nozzle, they interact with the surrounding atmosphere, creating a series of shock waves. These shock waves cause sudden changes in local density, pressure and temperature thus making them visible. 🚀 The next time you see them, remember: they’re proof of the raw power of a rocket engine and are a stunning demonstration of physics in action. #machdiamonds #supersonic #dawnhypersonics

✅ 🛰️ Big News for Sustainability in Space! 📣 🛰️ Dawn is now a member of the Technical Secretariat for the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) for the European Space Sector, led by the European Commission. This is more than a milestone—it’s a massive step toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable space missions and the technologies that enable them. Our Chief Legal, Policy & Sustainability Officer, Dr Neta Palkovitz (Adv. Ph.D.), looks forward to working alongside top European space organisations European Commission EU Space VITO PRé Sustainability Nova Space SES Satellites Eutelsat Group Alpha Impulsion Airbus Defence and Space MaiaSpace European Space Agency - ESA OHB SE Thales Alenia Space EPFL and The Exploration Company to ensure space missions leave minimal environmental impact. This is how we make space sustainable—by developing the technology and regulations that ensure safer, cleaner, and more efficient operations, from launch to the responsible end of satellite life-cycles. .#SustainableSpace #GreenPropulsion
