A Global Spacehub in Ireland

The SUAS Vision

To meet the demand for orbital rocket
launches, suborbital rocket launches, and
rocket engine testing with a world-class
European spacehub facility in Ireland.

Test & Assembly Facilities

SUAS will offer small satellite launch services, delivering payloads into both Polar Orbit and Low Earth Orbit.

A Global Spaceport

Launch services will be paired with purpose-built test and assembly facilities with easy access from mainland Europe.

The SUAS Advantage

Current and developing launch facilities are
challenged by inaccessible locations and unstable
climates. SUAS uniquely offers:

Location

Best-in-class access to polar orbits with a mild climate for year-round launches.

Logistics

Direct, cost-efficient access from the EU mainland and excellent road transport links.

Stability

Operating from the EU, SUAS will offer the commercial advantages of secure, autonomous space access.

Launch Services Sector Growth

The SUAS Market

Over a dozen European companies are developing orbital rockets, with each company planning 10 to 50 launches per year. Current spaceports under planning and in development will fall substantially short of meeting this accelerating market demand.

Phase 1: 2023 - 2024

Development of rocket engine test site and inauguration of sub-orbital test launches.

Phase 2: 2024 - 2025

Ongoing engine testing and suborbital launches; first orbital launch; breaking ground on spaceport.

Phase 3: 2026 - 2027

Consolidation of profit generating launch activities onto spaceport site; addition of additional launch pads on spaceport site.

Feasibility

To assess Ireland's suitability as a launch point for payloads destined for polar orbit, SUAS commissioned a detailed feasibility analysis report from an independent consultant engineering company.

Geographic Analysis

The report examined the potential for orbital launches from Ireland, and carried out impact reports on a number of potential Irish sites. Assessments included studies of population, maritime, and aviation risks, and identified specific feasible Irish launch sites.

Irish Advantage

Analysis emphasised that Ireland’s south-west coastal geography offers unobstructed launch vectors that do not cross inhabited land, making it an optimal launch location. The report concluded that Ireland would be one of the top three locations in Europe for a spaceport.
