SR Space

SR Space is a private Russian space company founded in January 2020 by Oleg Mansurov. It manufactures suborbital and orbital launch vehicles (ultra-small-lift and small-lift classes), designs and builds small spacecraft and satellite constellations, and provides acquisition, processing and analysis of space data, including satellite imagery and remote sensing. The company officially adopted the name SR Space in June 2022, operating as an ecosystem of business units: SR Rockets (launch vehicles and proprietary liquid oxygen/methane engines), SR Satellites (spacecraft and constellations), and SR Data (geospatial analytics).

The company presented itself publicly for the first time at the Open Innovations Forum in July 2020, tested a 600 kgf-thrust engine in October 2020, and conducted its first flight tests by the end of that year. SR Rockets was registered in April 2021, followed by SR Satellites in May 2021. In December 2021 SR Space launched its first Nebo 25 suborbital rocket from the Kapustin Yar test site, becoming the first private Russian company to conduct more than one launch in a year, and was ranked 29th in Inc. Russia's top 100 startups.

In 2022 SR Space unveiled a family of proprietary liquid-propellant engines and the concept of its light-class Stalker launch vehicle, registered SR Data (which became a resident of the Sirius Innovation Center), and presented a prototype of the SR NET multi-satellite broadband constellation. SR Space holds Roscosmos licenses for space activities (launch vehicles: L026-00122-77/00708283; spacecraft: L026-00122-77/00678531) and continues development of its Stalker, Cosmos and Nebo rocket families alongside the SR SAR, SR CMS, SR OKO and SR NET satellite constellations.
