Inflatable Atmospheric Decelerators (IADs)
- Founded just in October, Klaus’ aim is to make space transportation sustainable, available, and cost-efficient. The German company’s focus is on scalable cargo transport from space back to Earth without using any fuel.
- The drop-test demonstrated reliable inflation of the IAD and acceptable structural loads at landing, the company said. The third-generation prototype and an attached miniaturised rocket first stage were dropped from 600 m from a helicopter. The activated IAD stabilized and decelerated the rocket stage for safe landing in water and successful recovery afterwards.
- The company calls the opportunity “microgravity on demand,” a nascent market segment that has huge potential. Atmos’ service is tailored specifically for life sciences, according to the startup’s website, which can include research into monoclonal antibodies, stem cells, artificially grown human tissue, and protein crystallization.
- Investors appear to agree with Atmos’ approach, with the startup announcing this week that it has closed a €4 million ($4.3 million) oversubscribed seed round. The round was led by High-Tech Gründerfonds and the Amadeus APEX Technology Fund, with additional participation from Seraphim Space, E2MC, Ventis and another.vc.
- The company is developing a return capsule aptly named Phoenix, a spacecraft with a payload capacity of 100 kilograms. The Phoenix capsules are designed to operate on orbit for missions ranging from three hours to three months. Atmos has also developed what it calls “inflatable atmospheric decelerators” (IADs), a return solution that acts as both a heat shield, protecting the cargo from Earth’s atmosphere, and a high-velocity parachute.
Space Return Service
Based on our patent pending IAD technology, we are developing an end-to-end Space Return Service. We are offering our services in the form of early development partnerships with our customers. We tailor our IADs to the customer’s needs, from integration, tests and mission support, to the water landing and recovery. Whatever it is you want to bring down from space, we will do it for you. Safely.
