Beyond Gravity

Beyond Gravity currently supports over 100 customers worldwide in more than 400 projects, helping them to push technological boundaries. Our range of services extends from the implementation of modular designs in industrialized series production to the development of tailored solutions for unique space missions. With an addressable market share of over 60% in payload fairings for launch vehicles and more than 800 satellites in space using our technologies, Beyond Gravity is one of the leading Tier 1 suppliers in its core areas of expertise. 

From Earth observation to navigation, telecommunications and scientific space exploration, our Satellites division develops key satellite components for missions conducted by ESA, NASA, and commercial clients. Our Launchers division manufactures payload fairings and other structures for the next generation of European, American, and Japanese rockets, including ULA's Atlas and Vulcan, Ariane by ArianeGroup, Vega by Avio, and Mitsubishi's H3. 

Beyond Gravity collaborates closely with research institutions and universities at its international locations, such as ETH Zurich and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). These collaborations strengthen the transfer of knowledge between research and industry and form a central basis for the development of groundbreaking space technologies.

Focus on Profitable Growth 

Beyond Gravity pursues a strategy aimed at sustainable and profitable growth in the New Space Economy. The focus is on the further development and targeted expansion of our commercial product lines. These include high-performance on-board computers, precise navigation receivers, innovative satellite and payload structures, as well as dispenser solutions for global satellite constellations. At the same time, Beyond Gravity is making the strategic transition from being a specialized supplier to becoming an integrated system provider. This includes expanding our space data services, gradually expanding into the downstream business, and developing our own satellite platform. 

Our strategic expansion in the commercial sector goes hand in hand with the targeted strengthening of the institutional business, particularly with long-standing key partners such as ESA, NASA, and the Japanese space agency JAXA. By striking a balance between institutional missions and commercial growth, Beyond Gravity is establishing a robust and resilient portfolio. 

Diversified Market Presence 

One focus of our strategy is expanding our presence in Europe and the United States. Through strategic collaborations and the expansion of regional customer relationships, we are strengthening our position and expanding our access to attractive market segments that promise long-term relevance. In the US, the world’s largest and most dynamic space market, Beyond Gravity has expanded its market presence in recent years through targeted partnerships and investments in production capacities. At the same time, we are strengthening our commitment within the rapidly developing Asian growth markets, especially in Japan. 

Strong Operational Foundation 

The digitalization and industrialization of Beyond Gravity's processes is a key driver of efficiency and scalability. Through the continuous optimization of our development, production, and support processes, we are establishing an efficient operational foundation that fosters collaboration between our locations and allows us to respond more swiftly and precisely to market demands. Through targeted investment in research and development, we are also securing our long-term innovation capacity and competitiveness, while strengthening our expertise to efficiently implement both large-scale series projects and complex individual missions. 

Commitment to Sustainable Space Travel 

Sustainability as well as environmental and social responsibility are integral parts of our strategy and are systematically embedded within our business processes. Beyond Gravity is committed to responsible and sustainable space travel along the entire value chain. This includes adherence to high standards in the areas of human rights, health and safety, the development of recyclable components, and the consistent reduction of our environmental footprint. Our goal is to significantly reduce emissions from our operations by 2026, thus contributing to the sustainable transformation of the space industry. We view sustainability not merely as an obligation, but also as an opportunity to increase efficiency, promote competitiveness, and tap into new markets.
