RIDE! is expanding access to space with our new partnership with Exotrail

RIDE! is expanding access to space with its new partnership with Exotrail.

Two years ago, RIDE! announced Exotrail’s arrival on RIDE!'s platform. That event gave satellite operators streamlined access to in-orbit logistics services and flexible orbital deployment with Exotrail’s OTV, spacevan™.

Today, this RIDE! and Exotrail partnership enters in a new phase of our collaboration, blending RIDE!’s launch management expertise with Exotrail’s spacedrop™ and spacehost™ services to offer satellite operators a complete end-to-end mission experience: from personalized launch mission management planning, coordination and integration to orbital deployment and in-orbit hosted payload operations.

As part of this agreement, RIDE! has also secured advanced access to spacevan™ to continue providing flexible solutions for satellite operators worldwide.

‍

“Since day one, Exotrail has been a RIDE!’ strong partner for in-space mobility, in-space services, and hosted payloads. By extending our Master Agreement and securing additional capacity on upcoming SpaceVan missions, we are taking another major step toward delivering fully integrated in-orbit logistics and mobility services for our CubeSat and smallsat missions.Together, we are building more sovereign and flexible access to space in Europe, and the first joint launch opportunities are already procured for 2027.” said Valentin Benoit (RIDE! CEO).

‍

RIDE! vision remains the same as on 2024: "Make access to space more affordable, convenient and reliable", and it is built thanks to the partnerships RIDE! keeps developing in the space industry.

‍‍

"Exotrail is pleased to strengthen its partnership and long-time collaboration with RIDE!

For Exotrail to be referenced on RIDE!’s platform and for RIDE! to have reserved launch opportunities onboard our spacevan™, starting in 2027, is a strong way to deliver smooth access to space and hosted payload operations to our customers worldwide.
Joining forces and expertise with a partner like RIDE! will help deliver secure and sustainable mobility capabilities and in-orbit services”. said Sébastien Dumenil (Exotrail CCO).
