GATE Space

GATE Space is an Austrian aerospace company developing high-thrust chemical propulsion systems for satellites, capsules and landing vehicles. Founded by a team with hands-on rocket engine development experience, GATE Space operates a 560 m2 high-precision production facility near Vienna and one of Europe's most advanced commercial test sites for high-thrust mobility systems, backed by a 98% European supply chain.

The company's portfolio centers on two product lines: the GATE Jetpack, a plug-and-play propulsion module built for ESPA-class satellites and Starlink-compatible rideshare ports, enabling fast orbit transfers, mission reconfiguration, collision avoidance, in-orbit refueling and safe deorbiting; and the GATE Thruster, a compact high-performance thruster with patented closed-loop pressure control and deep throttling down to a 1:10 ratio, supporting continuous, pulsed and cold-gas operating modes.

GATE Space designs, builds and qualifies its hardware in-house, from engineering and CNC machining to assembly in an ISO 8 clean room and testing in its own vacuum facilities, with more than 8,000 cold-flow and hot-fire tests completed across its propulsion system configurations. The company also delivers custom propulsion solutions tailored to a customer's spacecraft form factor, orbit and mission profile.
