About The Exploration Company

The Exploration Company’s mission is to build accessible, sustainable and cooperative space worlds. To realize this mission, The Exploration Company builds and operates ‘Nyx,’ a modular and reusable orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit. Nyx provides a wide scope of missions ranging from resupplying space stations around the Earth and the Moon, free-flying around the Earth or landing on the Moon - and safely coming back to Earth. Nyx starts with flying cargo and has the potential to carry humans.
