Evaluating the Suborbital Architecture
Anchored in the rigorous aerospace ecosystem of Turin, our objective is to fundamentally alter the timeline for acquiring flight heritage in Europe. During the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) review, we presented the core mechanics of our rapid-cadence suborbital platforms. The board scrutinized both the physical feasibility of the Hermes architecture and the immediate commercial demand from component manufacturers and microgravity researchers who are currently bottlenecked by multi-year orbital waitlists.
Strategic Implications
Integration into the ESA BIC framework represents a significant force multiplier. Beyond institutional credibility, it unlocks streamlined access to premier European supply chains, advanced testing facilities, and a network of deep-tech investors. As we process the technical feedback from the TEB, our focus remains absolute: transitioning from CAD designs to validated, flight-proven hardware at maximum speed.
