Morpheus Space

Morpheus Space is a New Space propulsion company spun out of a university lab at the Technical University of Dresden in 2018, where its founding team developed Field Emission Electric Propulsion (FEEP) technology using a metallic propellant with no moving parts, chemicals, or pressurization.

The company's flagship product, the GO-2 electric propulsion system, is a modular, roughly 1U-sized unit containing 40 individually controlled thrusters with independent propellant tanks, giving satellite operators redundancy and precise maneuvering for constellation deployment, repositioning, station-keeping, collision avoidance, and deorbiting on spacecraft from 6U and up.

Morpheus Space joined the Techstars Starburst Space Accelerator in Los Angeles in 2019, secured seed funding in early 2020, opened a U.S. office in 2021, and raised a $28M Series A in 2022 backed by Alpine Space Ventures, Lavrock Ventures, Airbus Ventures, and In-Q-Tel, among others. In 2024 the company opened "Reloaded," a mass-production facility in Dresden for industrial-scale GO-2 manufacturing.

Morpheus Space's propulsion technology has been in orbit since 2018, has supported commercial customer missions since 2023, and executed what the company describes as the world's first nanosatellite collision-avoidance maneuver.
