OSMOS X
First Galactic Trucking Company
Who are we ?
OSMOS X leads a breakthrough in space propulsion that will dramatically change the paradigm of in-orbit servicing.
Relying on electro-plasmic ion sources, having 35+ years of track records in terrestrial applications, our technology ensures efficiency, flexibility and robustness far beyond the state-of-the-art and opens the door for multi-missions, reusable and cost-effective fleets of space vehicles.
By leveraging this fundamental innovation, we strive to reduce launch costs, extend satellite lifespans, and contribute to a cleaner space environment by mitigating orbital debris.
Technology
OSMOS X has inherited advanced scientific expertise in the design and development of ion sources for terrestrial applications, particularly in healthcare, research, and the electronics industry.
This expertise has enabled the company to develop a highly efficient space propulsion technology, characterized by:
- Ultra-low gas consumption thanks to multi-charged ion generation
- High thrust capabilities driven by powerful beam currents
- Tunable performance and operational flexibility allowed by adjustable ion charge states
- Exceptional robustness and lifespan enabled by advanced plasma confinement

Space Thrusters
We aim to launch a line of space thrusters based on our electro-plasmic technology by 2028. These thrusters are especially suited for missions requiring sustained thrust over long cumulative durations—such as transfers to geostationary orbit.
-
Orbital Missions
Our ambition is to develop and operate a fleet of space vehicles powered by our proprietary propulsion system, starting in 2030. Thanks to the efficiency of our technology, these vehicles will be capable of performing a high number of missions with a limited onboard gas mass.
News
OSMOS X is opening its second office, in Toulouse
Bruz remains our propulsion R&D core. Toulouse becomes our Orbital Services hub, where Thorus missions will be designed, built and operated.
OSMOS X x SpaceLocker
OSMOS X and SpaceLocker just signed the first step toward putting a French multi-mission orbital vehicle in orbit.
