Shark Robotics in Space Exploration: Advancing Frontiers

COLLABORATING CLOSELY

WITH KEY PLAYERS IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY

Shark Robotics, experts in hostile environments since 2016, collaborates with space industry leaders. Our journey began with firefighting robots for safety in hazardous environments. We now design custom robots for refueling space launchers, expanding our impact in this critical field.

SALTO PROJECT

SPACE PIONEERS

An illustration of our involvement in this realm is our participation in the SALTO project, overseen by Ariane Group. This groundbreaking initiative is set to pave the way for the first flight tests of the Themis reusable stage demonstrator in Kiruna, Sweden.

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF REFUELING ROBOTS

REFUELING ROBOTS

The use of refueling robots in the context of reusable launchers holds the promise of significant advantages, contingent on various factors. Here are some key considerations related to the use of these cutting-edge robotic solutions.

At Shark Robotics, our commitment to innovation and safety in the space industry continues to drive our collaboration with space actors, shaping the future of space exploration.

BENEFITS OF ROBOTICS

01

COST SAVINGS

Refueling robots reduce launch costs through tank tasks like inspection, repair, and refilling, extending component lifespan and cutting manufacturing expenses.

02

ENHENCED SAFETY

Our robotic solutions enhance safety by performing hazardous tasks remotely, minimizing risks associated with refueling and maintenance, ensuring personnel well-being.

03

INCREASED LAUNCH FREQUENCY

Enhanced Launch Frequency: Refueling robots speed up launcher reuse, reducing downtime between launches. This could boost launch frequency for reusables.
