CesiumAstro builds and delivers space communications systems—at scale.
We design, engineer, and manufacture software-defined radios, phased array payloads, and fully integrated satellites that enable real-time, multi-beam, multi-user connectivity across space-based and airborne networks. Our systems are built for mission-critical applications and designed to adapt on orbit.
As a vertically integrated manufacturer, CesiumAstro brings RF, digital processing, and satellite integration together under one roof, enabling rapid production, consistent performance, and repeatable delivery.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, with operations in Colorado, California, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, CesiumAstro is building the communications infrastructure modern missions depend on.
We’re hiring. Explore open roles at CesiumAstro.com/careers.

SpinLaunch has developed a fundamentally new way to reach space. By leveraging a ground based, kinetic launch system, we deliver constellations of small satellites into Low Earth Orbit at dramatically lower cost and higher cadence than any existing space launch company.
SpinLaunch is also the first truly environmentally sustainable launch system – delivering less expensive, more scalable access to space.

We are a fast-moving, intensely curious early-stage investment group. We seek exceptional, inspired founders from around the world who will set the course for ground-breaking innovation in mobility, security, and the future of flight. Our vision is to continuously ignite interest in the wonder that is aerospace.
Airbus is in our DNA, from our legacy of innovation and industry expertise to our global network. It is an asset to every company we fund, if and when they want it. Yet we operate with autonomy and trust, from the investments we make to the technologies they develop; we independently support entrepreneurs with unique ideas, plans, and structures. We are headquartered in Silicon Valley and Paris and fund start-ups across the globe. We are a valuable, efficient, and energetic partner to those who recognize that advances in aerospace will impact all life on Earth and beyond.
We welcome hearing from founders working hard to transform any facet of our industry. From urban air mobility, to connected fleets, to digital development and manufacturing, to advanced energy and propulsion. Quite literally, there is no limit.
