Pangea Propulsion has inaugurated a new 1,000-square-metre manufacturing facility in L\u2019Hospitalet de Llobregat, near Barcelona, investing an initial \u20ac1 million in its establishment. According to the company\u2019s CEO, Adri\u00e0 Argem\u00ed Sams\u00f3, the opening of the new facility marks the company\u2019s shift to serial production.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor years we have worked to demonstrate more efficient, sustainable and reusable propulsion technologies,\u201d Argem\u00ed said. Today we take the next step: to turn that innovation into products ready to make our customers\u2019 missions a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 2018 as Pangea Aerospace, Pangea Propulsion initially developed a small launch vehicle called Meso, which it abandoned in 2023 to focus on propulsion solutions. In April, the government of Catalonia, an autonomous region of Spain, announced a \u20ac2 million financing agreement<\/a> with Pangea Propulsion to bolster the company\u2019s manufacturing capacity, with \u20ac1 million to be made available during the project\u2019s first phase. The new facility appears to be the first phase of that project, though the company has not confirmed the connection.<\/p>\n While Pangea Propulsion has already invested \u20ac1 million, it intends to invest a total of \u20ac7 million in its new facility over the next three years.<\/p>\n The company currently offers a suite of small in-space propulsion thrusters known as Nereus, as well as its larger Cryox engine for launch vehicle upper and kick stages. One of its new facility\u2019s first undertakings will be to integrate a Nereus propulsion system with a reentry capsule being developed by an undisclosed private customer. The associated mission is expected to be ready for flight in early 2027.<\/p>\n
