Kreios Space

Kreios develops Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellites enabled by their proprietary Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) system, that makes it possible for satellites to operate at an altitude of around 200 kilometers from Earth, an altitude once considered impossible because of atmospheric drag. By “breathing” the atmosphere as fuel, Kreios’ satellites can stay aloft for years instead of days, unlocking a region of space with massive implications for Earth Observation and Telecommunications. VLEO satellites capture images with threefold the clarity of today’s constellations, enhancing everything from environmental monitoring and disaster response to critical infrastructure protection. Their proximity to Earth radically improves the link budget and allows broadband direct-to-device communications without bulky antennas, paving the way for truly global, resilient connectivity.
