SPRIND Validation Contract
2026-02-23
NewOrbit has been awarded a SPRIND validation contract examining the breakthrough potential of VLEO
Big news for NewOrbit: We’ve been awarded a SPRIND validation contract as part of a new technology development partnership to examine the breakthrough innovation potential of Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO).
VLEO is a demanding regime — but it unlocks a new class of space capabilities by enabling operations at the lowest sustained orbital altitudes.
In the validation phase, we’ll work with SPRIND to de-risk the concept, combining analysis of the operating environment, system-level design trade-offs, and mission performance considerations.
We’re proud to contribute to European space innovation through this collaboration, and grateful to SPRIND for the trust. Excited to grow this partnership!
