    About NewOrbit Space

    NewOrbit is developing the first air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) system to be trialled in ULEO. Operating in ULEO comes with game-changing benefits to most satellite applications; however, it hasn't been exploited yet, since a propulsion system to counteract drag from air particles present at these altitudes is required. Practically, for years-long missions, this can only be achieved using these air particles already present in space as the propellent for the propulsion system.

    We are aiming to perform the first proof-of-concept mission next year.

    Why NewOrbit

    Pioneering Space Technology: Join NewOrbit and contribute to launching groundbreaking technology into space next year. Your work on our air-breathing propulsion system will redefine satellite operations in ultra-low Earth orbits.

    Unmatched ownership and impact: You'll experience a level of input that's rare in this industry. You'll participate in the full lifecycle of satellite technology development and face diverse challenges in preparing our propulsion system for space.

    Join an exceptional team: Work with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the space technology sector.

    Great culture: You'll be part of an exciting, collaborative work culture with engineering at heart.

    Equity and competitive salary: NewOrbit offers competitive salaries and company ownership stakes. Dedication and hard work are rewarded with a stake in the business you are helping to build.
