Omnidea buys British Orbex. “It makes sense for us to launch our satellites”

▤ Summary

Omnidea bought Orbex’s production assets and intellectual property to strengthen its European launcher program. The company plans to combine Orbex’s systems in Scotland with its own propulsion work in Portugal. It sees the move as a way to build a micro-launcher and capture demand as launch capacity tightens. Omnidea also said it will need outside capital and is evaluating options such as bonds, venture capital, and other investors. The company believes the market window for small launchers will open around 2030 to 2035.
