HyPrSpace

HyPrSpace (Hybrid Propulsion for Space) is a French aerospace company founded in 2019 and headquartered in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of France. With over 140 experts, HyPrSpace is developing innovative hybrid rocket propulsion technology that overcomes a 50-year technological barrier in the field, combining the advantages of both liquid and solid propulsion systems.

The company's patented thin annular combustion chamber architecture eliminates the turbopumps required by traditional liquid engines, reducing launcher manufacturing costs by approximately 40% while maintaining high performance and reliability. This approach offers inherent simplicity and safety advantages over conventional propulsion methods, making HyPrSpace's systems well-suited for responsive and affordable access to space.

HyPrSpace's product roadmap includes the Baguette One suborbital technology demonstrator (planned for H1 2026) and the Orbital Baguette-1 (OB1), a commercial microlauncher capable of delivering up to 235 kg to low Earth orbit, targeted for end of 2027. The company's goal is to provide Europe with a cost-effective and sovereign small launch capability built on next-generation hybrid propulsion.
