OSMOS X is opening its second office, in Toulouse!
Our mission: make on-orbit a place you can actually manage.
Currently, once a satellite is placed on orbit, it operates where it’s deployed with no ability to significantly change its location. The satellite is life limited by its ability to stay in its designed orbit and is usually unusable if inserted in the wrong one. Thorus changes that.
Thorus is our long-duration orbital transfer vehicle, a spacecraft designed to operate several years in orbit while servicing multiple satellites. It transfers satellites from LEO to GEO, repositions assets, extends their operational life, and deorbits debris in a controlled manner.
One vehicle. Multiple missions. High autonomy. 🔥
Thorus is built for a dual market: commercial satellite operators looking for a fundamentally different cost structure, shared, long-duration infrastructure instead of a dedicated launch for every orbital maneuver and governments that need responsive, sovereign in-orbit mobility for their institutional and defense assets.
Powered by HPCR®, our proprietary plasma propulsion technology delivering 5,000 seconds of specific impulse more than twice that of competing electric propulsion systems. OSMOS X is building a Thorus fleet to make orbital servicing as reliable and accessible as any infrastructure service on Earth.
Bruz remains our propulsion R&D core. Toulouse becomes our Orbital Services hub, where Thorus missions will be designed, built and operated.
“I’m thrilled to be leading this expansion from Toulouse. This is where Thorus missions will come to life, from constellation management to debris removal. In-orbit mobility starts here.” – Emily Brageot, Director of Orbital Services Programme
First demonstration flight: 2027. We’re on track.
We’re hiring in Toulouse: systems engineering, propulsion, orbital operations.
