Success story

Infinite Orbits

Toulouse space technology serving life in orbit

Founded in Singapore, the start-up Infinite Orbits develops innovative solutions to extend the life of satellites. By setting up its European headquarters in Toulouse, it is continuing the city’s tradition of excellence in the space sector, while promoting a forward-thinking vision of in-orbit services.

A pioneering start-up

Infinite Orbits offers a range of innovative services:

Extending the life of satellites through in-orbit maintenance missions.
Inspecting satellites using on-board cameras capable of navigating and analysing their condition.
Ultimately, actively maintaining geostationary satellites in orbit through complex docking operations.

The company is positioning itself as a key player in the smallsat market serving geostationary satellites.

Why Toulouse?

In 2020, Infinite Orbits is looking to develop a European base for its technical and industrial activities. Several locations are being considered, including the United Kingdom. Toulouse ultimately stands out thanks to:

The density of the space ecosystem and its proximity to CNES.
The opportunity to recruit talent from a globally recognised pool.
An international appeal that attracts foreign experts.
