The SUAS Proposition

A world leading European launch site facility in
Ireland to provide serviceable, easy, and safe
access to space for commercial satellites.

Geography

Ireland's geographic position in the North Atlantic provides unique launch advantages.

Opportunity

SUAS is a unique service offering impossible from many other EU territories.

Talent

Ireland and its position in the EU means industry access to a skilled workforce.

The SUAS Opportunity

There has been an enormous increase in private investors in the space economy since the early 2000s. This market has witnessed large private investments primarily focused on the high profit potential of the launch services industry.

Small commercial satellite launch services are predicted to capture 29% of the satellite launch service market by 2024. Within this market, SUAS targets:

Vertical Launch Services

Ireland’s south-west coastal geography offers unobstructed launch vectors that do not cross inhabited land, making it an optimal spaceport location to launch Earth observation satellites for the in-demand Low Earth Orbit.

Test & Assembly Facilities

Ireland's close proximity to eastern and southern State Members of the European Union also places it in a position of enormous potential as a strategic commercial launch service provider for small launch vehicles.
