The SUAS Proposition

To build a leading European Space Port providing
flexible commercial satellite launch facilities with
provision for engine and rocket testing.

Geography

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

Opportunity

In a growing satellite industry, SUAS offers an in-demand service unavailable in many other EU countries.

Talent

Ireland's focus on education and technology gives SUAS access to a skilled and highly motivated workforce.

The SUAS Opportunity

There has been a significant increase of private investment into the space economy since the early 2000s.Much of it is focused on the high profit potential of the launch services industry.

With small commercial satellite launch services predicted to capture 29% of the launch service market by 2024, SUAS will offer:

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 satellites for Low Earth Orbit.

Test & Assembly Facilities

Ireland's close proximity to eastern and southern State Members of the European Union places it in a position of appeal for the companies supporting satellite launch services.
