Company Overview
Lux Aeterna is building foundational reentry infrastructure for the orbital economy. In a market where launch costs are falling but satellite platforms remain largely disposable, Lux introduces the first reusable satellite bus and reentry system designed for high-frequency, cost-efficient operations. Its vertically integrated platform, built on Mars-derived heat shield tech and modular payload bays, supports up to 15 missions with precision-controlled landings—unlocking rapid sample returns, industrial-scale microgravity manufacturing, and new R&D cycles across defense, pharma, and commercial sectors. By bridging the gap between scalable launch and repeatable reentry, Lux Aeterna is redefining mission economics and laying the groundwork for the next era of space-based operations.
Thesis Fit
Lux Aeterna fits into multiple categories within our Space Economy framework, spanning Satellite Manufacturing, Logistics, and Industrials. In Satellite M&C, its reusable satellite platforms and modular designs address inefficiencies in traditional production and deployment. Within Emerging Industries, Lux plays a key enabling role in Industrials by supporting the return of high-value materials and research from orbit. Most notably, its scalable, reliable downmass capability fills a long-standing gap in space logistics—unlocking two-way commerce and operational flow between space and Earth.
