We’ve upgraded our vacuum test stand to support real space-like conditions:. ✔️8 high-performance pumps.✔️Chamber for full propulsion systems.✔️Visual inspection window.✔️Mission-representative firings. First long-duration tests begin soon. Stay tuned.

Countless Missions. One Engine. The GATE Thruster delivers stable, precise thrust across the full mission profile. Thanks to smart pressure control and flexible throttling, it can handle both tiny adjustments and powerful maneuvers — all with the same engine.

Looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie. But it’s very real. Want to guess what it is?

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming the Science Academy NÖ to GATE Space for a behind-the-scenes look at how next-gen propulsion systems are built. It’s always encouraging when institutions trust us to offer young talent a real-world perspective on the space industry.

In the midst of sharing milestone after milestone, we took a moment to celebrate something just as important — opening our doors to the people who’ve supported us from day one. A day of laughter, stories, and tours of where ideas take flight 💚

Propulsion is no longer optional. The EU Space Act mandates it for constellations—along with collision avoidance, debris plans, and environmental certifications. GATE Space delivers ITAR-free, green propulsion built for this new era. Full article:

GATE Space turns 3! .A company doesn’t start with paperwork or hardware. It starts with people - and a shared vision of what could be. To everyone who’s been part of our story - past, present, and future: Thank you. You are the reason this is real. Happy birthday to all of us 💚

The final components of our new testing facility have left our workshop and are now at the test site, ready to be integrated into the next generation of our test stand. We’re looking forward to sharing the completed facility as we prepare it for propulsion system testing.

Beauty in every component. Performance in every detail. Meet Generation 6 — our next-gen thruster, built entirely in-house and ready for space. More than an upgrade, it’s the result of years of testing, iteration, and mission-driven engineering.

Curiosity, clarity, and the drive to build things that go to space. Meet Harold Rutten, our new Propulsion Engineer at GATE Space — bringing hands-on rocketry experience and a deep focus on reliability, testing, and doing it right. Join us in welcoming him! 👋

Our engineers are wrapping up installation of the final systems for our second-generation testing facility— and yes, some of the equipment does take up an entire container by itself.|. Big ambitions need big infrastructure 🦾

Test infrastructure is progressing fast ⚙️.Our new in-house vacuum cabinet is complete — controlling pumps, venting & sequencing with mission-grade precision. Next: more from the test stand relocation.

Our first space mission is official—backed by ESA contracts, a US presence, and patented, flight-ready tech. In 3 years, we grew from a TU Wien spin-off to a space propulsion company heading into series production. In case you missed it:

TU Wien has been a valued partner in the development of our propulsion system — from early research to flight readiness. We’re proud to see our collaboration featured in their latest press release. Read the full story via the link:

We’re proud to share a press release from Lower Austria highlighting the work behind our upcoming mission. With support from ESA Phi-Lab Austria and accent, we’ve developed propulsion tech for the next era of space infrastructure. Full press release:

We’ve been building toward this moment for three years — and now, we can finally share the news. In 2026, aboard a SpaceX rocket, our propulsion system will embark on its first space mission 🛰️. Celebrate this milestone with us while more details are coming soon.

At GATE Space, we’re setting up a compact vacuum chamber right in our workshop — enabling faster, more reliable testing during development. Testing is not just about compliance. It’s about building trust into every part, from the first bolt to final ignition.

The brain of our test stand is now assembled. The utility control cabinet will coordinate propellant filling, pneumatics, and safety interlocks — forming the backbone of safe and repeatable ignition. Another box checked on the road to hot fire.

🌌 ESA turns 50 — and we’re proud to be part of the journey. Through the GSTP program, we’re building a next-gen lander demonstrator together, showcasing a bold new mission profile of our GATE Jetpack. Thank you, ESA, for the trust and shared vision. 🚀

Our CEO, Moritz Novak, took part in the FFG CEO Brunch “Space – Invisible Infrastructure, Visible Impact," where leaders from industry, research & government discussed Austria’s space future. Proud to represent the next gen of propulsion & in-orbit mobility. Photo: Gerald Kührer
