About

We think that none of us is as smart as all of us.

Find out who whe are.

Hybrogines is an aerospace growth company, recently founded and operating from France’s space area, that aims to provide an advanced orbital transfer vehicle for small satellites powered with performant and flexible hybrid-propellant rocket engines.

Our ambition relies on complementary profiles, with solid skills and varied experiences. Our team is currently made up of eight highly motivated engineers, but will quickly grow to include scientists, engineers, technicians and managers from the best French and European institutions, with in-depth expertise at the interface of business and technology.

We follow a simple but strong mid-term road map to success: move forward step by step, orient choices towards the future and capitalize on knowledge. For the moment, we are developing and testing the innovative 1 kN thrust hybrid engine that will power our orbital transfer vehicle. Feel free to contact us for more information.

We believe in dedication.
We love to explore.
We stop at nothing.
We focus on the future.
We trust in innovation.
