Exciting two days at Austrian Space Days! We were proud to host the opening-day press conference at GATE Space's production facility, welcoming leaders from ESA, government and industry. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives and strengthen existing relationships.

Testing is a constant part of our work. It helps us qualify each propulsion system against the specific requirements of the mission it is being prepared for. Our test stand is busy supporting these qualification campaigns, with more details to follow soon.

Space brings people together through a shared passion. We were pleased to welcome Ambassador Eduardo Saboia and H.E. Mr. Marcos Cesar Pontes to our facilities in Vienna to share our story, our propulsion technology, and the work behind it.

At Austrian Space Days at Vienna Airport, “Industrialisation by Design” will take centre stage - a theme closely aligned with how we work at GATE Space, integrating development, assembly and testing in-house. Come meet our team! 📍 Booth E-105 🗓️ 14–15 October

Testing may happen at the test site, but responsibility for the result is shared across the whole team. Every test reflects decisions made across design, analysis, manufacturing, software and operations and confirms how well all of that work performs as one system.

Welcome Caroline, our new Management Assistant with a focus on HR! 👋 She’ll support our leadership and team across recruiting, onboarding, people operations, and internal coordination — helping us strengthen the way we operate as GATE Space continues to grow. 🚀

Last day at Industry Space Days 2026! If you’re at ESA/ESTEC today, there’s still time to catch the GATE Space team at Booth B43. Stop by to chat before the event wraps up.

We’re at the Industry Space Days 2026, hosted by @esa! Come by Booth B43 to meet Moritz, Marianne and Louis, and get a closer look at our propulsion hardware. At 14:20, Louis takes the Technology Tent stage to talk about differential thrust stabilisation.

One internship. A much bigger journey. Timo joined GATE Space as an Avionics Engineering Intern and grew into a full-time role with increasing responsibility and hands-on work on propulsion hardware. We’re proud to create an environment that inspires young professionals to grow.

Next steps in ASTRAL project! Together with Orbit Fab and our consortium partners, we have been progressing towards finalizing the Definition Phase, aligning the mission concept, requirements, interfaces, and technical approach to establish a clear technical baseline.

In one week, our team will be at ESA Industry Space Days! Don’t miss the opportunity to discuss high-performance propulsion and how GATE Space supports technically demanding missions with reliable, validated hardware. 📍16–17 September | ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk Booth B43

Team of GATE Space: Avionics Avionics is where propulsion hardware becomes a responsive system. Daniel, Andreas, and Timo bring electronics, firmware, control, integration, and testing together, enabling reliable operation, precise commands, and significant system data.

We are visiting ESA Industry Space Days! Moritz, Marianne and Louis will be on site to meet with you. 📍16–17 September | ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk Booth B43 During the event, we will present our joint ESA GSTP project on deep-throttling propulsion for differential stabilisation.

GATE Space is hiring! We’re growing our engineering team and looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are ready to take on new challenges. Explore our current openings, learn more about the benefits we offer, and send us your application: jobs.polymer.co/gate-space

Vibration, leak, X-ray, thermal, TVAC, radiation, functional and vacuum ignition testing: individually, milestones. Together, they show the established verification process behind our propulsion systems - a pipeline our team has the infrastructure and experience to repeat.

In the second area of our cleanroom, prepared parts are assembled into complete propulsion systems under controlled conditions. Pressure-containing hardware also undergoes initial leak testing at pressures below 1 × 10⁻⁶ bar before further integration and qualification.

In this video, Marianne, our BD Manager, with our engineers, answers questions she regularly encounters in customer conversations. They explain how mission requirements are translated into design and verification decisions, sharing the part of our approach we can discuss openly.

GATE Space and the Solar Eclipse 🌒 It was an amazing opportunity for the team to slow down after working hours and observe a celestial event - a solar eclipse. A chance to appreciate the beauty of space. We appreciate Charlie Long for the amazing picture of the solar eclipse.

GATE Space is hiring Check out the roles and the benefits we offer: jobs.polymer.co/gate-space All roles are based on site at our office at Vienna Airport.

A year ago, Jana joined GATE Space as an intern. Today, she is a mechanical engineer and our in-house ERP assistant. Her story reflects the people we are building GATE Space with: motivated professionals ready to learn, take responsibility, and grow their expertise.
