About Us
ISPTech builds green, innovative and affordable propulsion technologies for any spacecraft size. Based onmore than 10 years of research and development at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the founders developed technologies that work with green (non-toxic) propellants. Our systems are characterized by a high efficiency, reliability and allow significant cost reductions. We will satisfy the desperate demand for affordable, green and robust propulsion technologies and propel the whole space ecosystem.

Recently, we raised a pre-seed round and our relevance for the New-Space market is backed by renowned deep-tech investors.
