Ready to see your work launch into orbit? 🚀

"As Mission Managers, you will be at the heart of our operations - leading the design, manufacturing, testing, and launch of next-generation satellites. It is a rare, privileged position where you own the full mission lifecycle, steering a complex concept from a blank page all the way to orbit." - Jordi Castellvi Esturi, Head of Mission Management

We’re hiring driven people to own end-to-end satellite missions and shape the future of our operations.

Some of our best questions this week came from our youngest visitors. 🚀

We welcomed Rainbow and Brownie units from Harwell to Open Cosmos. They built and launched their own rockets, explored how satellites see our planet, and met the engineers who make it happen.

Interest in science and engineering often starts long before anyone mentions careers, and it can fade just as early if children never see themselves in it. Being part of that early spark matters to us, and our team loved every minute.

Thank you to the leaders and volunteers at Harwell Rainbows and Brownies for bringing such brilliant, curious minds to Open Cosmos. 🌍

What does a career in space actually look like? 🛰️

This week, students from UTC Oxfordshire and Didcot Girls' School spent time with our teams to find out. They met engineers, technicians and people across the business, saw the cleanroom where satellites come together, and heard how individuals from across our business found their way into the industry.

Some of our team came through degrees. Others came through apprenticeships, technical training or entirely different careers first. The space sector needs all of them, but most young people only ever hear about one path.

We want the next generation of space talent to look like the communities around us. That starts with showing up locally, being honest about the routes in, and making sure no one rules themselves out before they've had a look.

Thank you to the students and staff at Didcot Girls' and UTC Oxfordshire for your energy and brilliant questions. 🚀

Open Cosmos confirms a 192-satellite foundation for the ConnectedCosmos constellation

ConnectedCosmos is built from the ground up for government, institutional, and commercial customers requiring secure, resilient connectivity and clear data custody.

Here’s what’s coming:

• 192 Satellites in LEO: Over 96 in orbit by the end of 2028, leading to full global coverage by 2030. Two are already in orbit, and the next launch flies before the end of this year!

• High-Speed Manufacturing: Factory production across Europe is scaled to build up to one satellite a day, backed by a recent €300M funding round with launches scheduled through late 2026 to mid-2027.

• Space-to-Space Routing: Optical Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) route data directly in space—bypassing subsea cables and ground stations while remaining secure in GNSS-contested environments.

• Integrated Intelligence: Combines LEO broadband satcom with OpenConstellation's Earth Observation and ground-based IoT sensors—turning raw data into actionable intelligence in one secure loop.

• Federated & Scalable: Designed to integrate with wider European space systems and scale as demand builds.

We’re kicking off World Space Week at Open Cosmos in one of the best ways, by opening our doors to our friends and families. 🛰️🌍

This year’s theme is ‘Rocket Revolution’, so what better way to get things started than with a little rocket launching of our own! 🚀

Today, we’re giving the people behind our people a glimpse into life at Open Cosmos, the satellites we build and the work our teams do every day with plenty of hands-on space activities for our younger visitors too.

A great way to start ! 🚀

Tracking cryospheric dynamics requires high-fidelity, repeatable orbital intelligence.

This True Colour image captures the Nuussuaq Peninsula in Greenland, acquired by the Open Cosmos Hyper-500 satellite constellation.

With global temperatures repeatedly pushing record highs, polar monitoring is now paramount. Rising temperatures are accelerating melt across Greenland — driving sea level rise, destabilising ocean currents and reshaping atmospheric patterns worldwide.

What you see here is only part of what Hyper-500 records. Its 32 narrow VNIR bands read the ice surface beyond a true-colour view: mapping spectral albedo, separating the light-absorbing dust, soot and glacier algae that darken the ice, detecting snow wetness through its near-infrared signature, and estimating the depth of supraglacial meltwater. At 5 m resolution, that turns a picture of the ice into a measurement of what is driving its melt.

Repeat coverage across the OpenConstellation feeds these measurements into the albedo and melt models that climate assessment depends on - turning orbital observation into actionable climate intelligence.

Open Cosmos is growing, and we are expanding our team in Greece!

"Open Cosmos values ownership, no matter your role. It’s hard work, but you’re never doing it alone, and there’s real satisfaction in seeing that effort turn into missions that truly matter. Watching the company invest in growing its presence and talent here in Greece has been incredible." - Marita Georganta, Ground Segment Team Lead at Open Cosmos Aegean

If you are ready to tackle complex challenges and drive real-world impact, we want to hear from you.

A key milestone for Open Cosmos Aegean: a new ground station in Crete is now operational

Open Cosmos have led the consortium responsible for building a new satellite ground station hosted at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) in Crete. Consortium member Libre Space Foundation integrated the station's subsystems into a single working system, delivered the pass scheduling and control software, and installed and brought the station into service, which it continues to support.

This is a vital step for Greece’s Small Satellite Program which aims to build a constellation to enable real-time Earth Observation, maritime surveillance, and environmental monitoring capabilities across the region.

“Our work doesn’t stop at launch. We also help build the infrastructure Greece needs to communicate with its satellites and put their data to use. The ground station in Crete shows what we can achieve by bringing together international experience, Greek expertise and strong partnerships.” - Marita Georganta, Ground Segment Team Lead, Open Cosmos Aegean
Congratulations to all the teams who made this possible!

This project is part of the Greek National SmallSat Programme led by Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with the Hellenic Space Center and ESA, with funding from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

€300 million to scale the next generation of space infrastructure.

Over the past decade, Open Cosmos has grown into one of Europe’s leading satellite manufacturers. Today, we are capable of manufacturing one satellite a day across our four European factories and have signed more than $370 million in new contracts over the last three and a half years.

Now we’re ready for the next phase with €300 million in new funding from leading European investors. This will help us put more satellites into orbit, deliver intelligence faster and expand secure connectivity around the world.

From detecting wildfires and monitoring critical infrastructure to providing resilient connectivity when terrestrial networks are unavailable, we’re building space infrastructure that turns information from orbit into intelligence people can act on.

Thank you to our investors, customers, partners and, most importantly, the Open Cosmos team who have made this possible. 🛰️
