OSMOS X selected by the European Defence Fund
Big news: OSMOS X has been selected by the European Defence Fund.
🌍 As coordinator of project TAC (Tactical-Capture), we are leading a consortium of 7 partners across 5 European countries to develop a groundbreaking solution for in-orbit mobility and capture.
The challenge: intercepting and securing a spacecraft in orbit, even when it has no standard docking interface.
The answer: a servicer vehicle integrating plasma HPCR® propulsion and a welding-based capture technology, no docking port required, no cooperation from the target needed.
This is made possible by the combined expertise of our consortium:
→ ArcSpace — welding capture technology
→ LPGP / CNRS — in-situ diagnostics & process control
→ Politecnico di Milano & Politechnika Poznańska — algorithms & contact dynamics
→ KINETIK Space — robotic arm integration
→ Vimotek — sensor technologies and orbital simulation
Project TAC is a 30-month program that brings Europe one step closer to tactically responsive, sovereign orbital mobility.
🇺🇸 And as this news breaks, our CEO Arnaud Masson is at the Space Symposium (Space Foundation) in Colorado Springs, representing OSMOS X on the international stage. Meet us!
The timing feels right.
