Dawn Aerospace, founded in 2017, is pioneering the next generation of space transportation with a focus on scalability and sustainability. Based in New Zealand, The Netherlands, France, and the United States, the company is strategically positioned across key innovation hubs.
With a vision to revolutionize space access, Dawn Aerospace has developed suborbital spaceplanes like the Aurora, capable of multiple daily flights. In 2024, Aurora achieved significant milestones, breaking the sound barrier at Mach 1.12 and setting a new record for the fastest climb to 20 kilometers.
Their in-space propulsion systems lead the industry with turnkey green solutions that outperform traditional technologies. Notably, Dawn Aerospace has a proven track record with over 150 thrusters in space across 35 satellites.
Backed by a NZD20.00M late VC investment in December 2022 from notable investors like Icehouse Ventures, Movac, and Global From Day One, Dawn Aerospace is poised for growth in the expanding space and sustainability sectors.
