Dawn Aerospace is pleased to announce they have been selected by Infinite Orbits to provide one of the propulsion systems for the Endurance mission, France and Europe’s first satellite servicing initiative in Geostationary Orbit (GEO). This mission will extend a satellite’s lifespan, advancing Europe’s commitment to sustainable and responsible space operations.

“Collaboration between companies is at the heart of space innovation, and this partnership represents a strategic decision for the development of our in-orbit services. The work already done together this past year in this project as in others, and the fact that Dawn Aerospace recently joined the French space ecosystem strengthens our bond.” - Marion Andrieux, Chief Commercial Officer.

Endurance, an Infinite Orbits mission backed by CNES, will set a new standard for sustainable servicing in GEO. This mission represents Dawn’s first venture into GEO, showcasing the flexibility and dependability of their propulsion technology as part of France 2030’s strategic push for sustainable, high-performance, responsive space solutions.

Endurance will be equipped with Dawn thrusters, enabling fine-point manoeuvring for satellite servicing tasks. Dawn's scalable and modular chemical propulsion systems allow for customised configurations, ensuring mission adaptability alongside fast lead times for customers.

"As Europe's first satellite servicing mission in GEO, Endurance places France at the forefront of satellite servicing," said Jeroen Wink, Director at Dawn Aerospace. "We are proud and excited to contribute to this pioneering project."
