MAIASPACE – ARIANEGROUP

Founded in April 2022, MaiaSpace designs, manufactures, commercializes and operates the first reusable and eco-designed mini-launcher in Europe, which prefigurates the future family of sovereign and competitive European launch vehicles. MaiaSpace leverages the best of both worlds: drawing on the excellence and expertise of the historic European space sector, especially that of its mother company ArianeGroup, while maintaining the speed, agility and culture of risk of a start-up. Powered with liquid oxygen and liquid bio-methane, the Maia launcher has a lift-off capacity of up to 4,000 kg in low-Earth orbit, depending on the launcher version (expendable or reusable), the inclination and the use of its Colibri kick-stage. The development of Maia is led by over 350 MaiaSpacers working with industrial partners based in France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria or Poland.
