About SpaceLocker
SpaceLocker aims to make satellite missions more efficient and sustainable. To achieve this, we develop in-orbit payload hosting stations based on our docking port technology, the “USB port of satellites”.
Our vision is to become the preferred solution for sending equipment into orbit, to reduce space pollution, and to become the leading supplier of docking interfaces for satellites.
We are not trying to build a dog picture blockchain nor the new Airbnb, but a profitable company that will provide the foundations for the next generation of space exploration. This intention is anchored to a solid technical expertise, a quick prototyping approach and a strong link to the market.
It is the good stimulating aspects of the startup world, and without the weird fetish for table soccer: we are a no-bullshit company that counts on senior advisors and every team member to reach credible milestones quickly and efficiently.
SpaceLocker is a company firmly engaged about diversity and inclusivity, of age, gender, origins, handicap, or any other characteristic (and we are aware of the slight irony, the founder team being the most average white guys you can imagine 😀). Progress and inclusion are not just corporate speech: we are aware it needs actual efforts and compromises.
