The spacevan™ : 
a pioneering vehicle for space infrastructure

Designed in-house with flexibility in mind, the spacevan is space-to-space vector using Hall effect propulsion to access a large range of orbits. It offers the performance to accommodate a wide range of payloads and missions.

The first Exotrail spacevan™ was launched in November 2023, successfully demonstrating its capabilities. It carried a hosted payload, deployed a CubeSat in space, and featured a spaceware™ propulsion system that performed multiple orbital maneuvers.

Exotrail is now working on both spacevan™ LEO and spacevan™ GEO to offer larger payload and propulsion capacity, an increased range of orbit capabilities, and eventually proximity operations  maneuvers for to space infrastructure deployment.

Getting access to space is about having the right interface. With our standardized slot offers, we provide the opportunity for space users to think outside of the box. Fast tracking interface and compliance verification is our primary goal to provide the shortest turnaround time between signature and launch in space. Similar interfaces are also available on request for the GEO platform.
