Hstar

🇦🇺 Bringing Heavy Launch to Australia 🚀   As we prepare for our trip to the Australian Space Summit, we’re sharing how Australia fits into a global effort to redefine space logistics.   Our heavy-class launcher will be built in France, integrated across Europe, and operated from multiple sites, including Cape York—made possible through our partnership with Space Centre Australia. Together, we’re enabling nondependent access to orbit from both hemispheres.   We’re building for scale: Satellites, constellations, infrastructure, orbital shuttles, and the passengers of tomorrow.   📖 Read more in our article with Space Connect: https://lnkd.in/gvwbZcJk   #AUSSPACE25 #Hstar #HeavyLaunch #SpaceForEarth #OrbitalInfrastructure #CapeYork #HstarFrance #AustraliaInSpace #RocketDiplomacy

On Day 2 of the Space Symposium, Hstar was proud to join CNES at Booth 403 and hear from French Ambassador to the U.S. Laurent Bili and CNES CEO Lionel Suchet. Their message was clear: international collaboration is essential—particularly in strengthening French-American relations and deeper connections with current institutions, companies, and business ecosystems. Hstar’s European Very-Heavy Class Launcher project reflects this vision. Built on cooperation, flexibility, and longevity, it responds directly to Europe’s need for independent, reliable access to orbit—especially in today’s geopolitical context. CNES and ESA are actively exploring alternatives to monopolized heavy launch, particularly in the 40–60t class. Initiatives like the European Launcher Challenge signal a shift toward scalable, economically viable European solutions. Thank you to the CNES team—especially Véronique De La Casa, Aitor Albizua, and Marc GUGGARI—for making this week’s presence possible. Looking forward to more meaningful exchanges ahead.

We’re heading to Colorado Springs for the 40th Space Symposium! 🚀   Hstar is proud to be part of the French Team at the CNES booth, South Hall-403, joining over 40 companies representing the strength and ambition of the French space ecosystem.   We’ll be sharing how Hstar is building the next-generation heavy launcher—a fully reusable transport solution to meet the intensifying need for nondependent access to Earth orbit.   Both François Henry, CEO of Hstar France, and Nick Orenstein, CEO of Hstar USA, will be on-site and available to connect. Don’t hesitate to reach out to set something up—or stop by the booth to talk constellations, in-orbit logistics, or future infrastructure.   See you at #SpaceSymposium!   #Hstar #HeavyLaunch Centre National d'Études Spatiales

Way to go Femi Ishola (Ph.D, R.Engr.) and Phemotron Systems!

Thank you, Anne Vulliez, for the exceptional write-up!

Don’t miss François Henry, CEO of Hstar France, presenting a case study highlighting ambitions and project insights for a European reusable space vehicle at Tamarys Space Day, hosted by CNRS. As Europe advances its capabilities in reusability, high-temperature materials, and ground-to-flight data management, this event is a key gathering of scientists, engineers, and industry leaders shaping the future of European space competitiveness. 🔹 Join us today, March 4, at CNRS Campus Gérard Mégie, Paris, to be part of this critical discussion on the next generation of European space access. #Hstar #ReusableLaunch #EuropeanSpace #SpaceInnovation #CNRS #TamarysSpaceDay

Hstar is proud to welcome Femi Ishola (Ph.D, R.Engr.) to our executive management team, where he will lead Africa Growth initiatives—bringing his expertise, leadership, and vision to expand space access across the continent. Alongside this, we’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Phemotron Systems—a pioneering multinational space engineering firm disrupting the small satellite and aerospace industries. Together, Hstar and Phemotron are embarking on a new era of innovation and exploration for Africa’s space industry. By combining our technological resources, launch expertise, and industry leadership, we will drive focused R&D, satellite capabilities, and space transportation initiatives—creating new opportunities for emerging African space players. This partnership represents a pivotal step toward truly global space access, ensuring Africa is an integral player in the next era of space transportation and exploration. Stay tuned for exciting updates on our joint ventures and groundbreaking projects! #Hstar #Phemotron #AfricaSpace #SpaceCollaboration #Innovation #GlobalAccessToSpace #FutureOfSpace

“For centuries, humanity has looked to the stars with wonder and aspiration, and today, we stand at the forefront of a new age of space discovery. A time where nations come together, not as competitors, but as partners, in a shared mission to advance our knowledge and understanding of the universe” (President Sohair Salam, The Hague Institute for Global Justice). The “H” in Hstar stands for Humanity.    Our mission has always been bigger than just building rockets or spaceports. We are laying the tracks for the space train that will carry all of humanity forward. That means ensuring access to space is responsible, sustainable, and cooperative—not just today, but for generations to come.    By signing The Washington Compact on Norms of Behavior for Commercial Space Operations from The Hague Institute for Global Justice, we join a global effort to shape the future of space through transparency, collaboration, and a shared commitment to sustainable growth.    This isn’t about rules for the sake of rules. It’s about ensuring space remains a place of opportunity, not conflict—a place where commercial innovation thrives without jeopardizing long-term access for all.    🚀 Hstar is proud to stand alongside other industry leaders, working together to ensure that the next era of space exploration is built on principles that serve all of humanity. 🌎🌍🌏    Read more and see the signed document here: https://lnkd.in/gm6g4wrD #Hstar #WashingtonCompact #SpaceSustainability #FutureOfSpace #GlobalAccessToSpace #Cooperation

Hstar Joins the Global Spaceport Alliance 🌎 We’re at the Global Spaceport Alliance Space Summit, surrounded by the world’s leading spaceport innovators—what better time to share that Hstar is now a member of the Global Spaceport Alliance (GSA).   The demand for space access is rising, and spaceports are evolving to meet it. At Hstar, we’re partnering with spaceports worldwide to provide heavy-launch capabilities and ensure global accessibility. Joining GSA strengthens our commitment to cooperation, connecting us with key partners who share our vision for a scalable, sustainable space infrastructure.   #HStar #GlobalSpaceportAlliance #GSA #Spaceports #GlobalAccessToSpace #Cooperation

Join Hstar at CNES Innovation Day 2025 in Toulouse 🚀   On February 4, our CEO of Hstar France, François Henry, and Global CSO, Enzo Bleze, will be at Innovation Day 2025 at the Pierre Baudis Congress Center in Toulouse.   With this year’s theme—Space, Innovation, Exploration—Hstar is excited to engage in discussions on the future of space access, nondependent heavy launch, and Europe’s evolving role in global space transportation.   If you’re attending, reach out to François or Enzo to connect and discuss how Hstar is working to close Europe’s heavy launch gap.
