EnduroSat<\/strong>, a space infrastructure builder, and the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria had signed a memorandum of understanding to turn the former military airbase Dobroslavtsi into Europe\u2019s space and defense R&D center. For constellation operators, governments, and defense forces, the site had enabled serial production and logistics for large and complex space fleets.<\/p>\n “Rarely do you get the chance to chase a truly big vision. For the past decade, the EnduroSat team has built an incredible track record: proving doubters wrong and pushing through every human and technical challenge in our way, all to make space more accessible. A few numbers to back that up. We\u2019ve built the most vertically integrated space company in the EU. We\u2019ve cut the cost of acquiring data from any mission from thousands of dollars per GB down to $1 per GB. We\u2019ve cut time to orbit from years to an average of 8 months, from idea to live in-orbit data service. We have launched 100+ satellites in orbit, generating a huge trove of data. And we\u2019ve shipped over 200 satellites to customers worldwide (yes, the Earth is round \u2014 I can confirm). <\/p>\n Here\u2019s the part that excites me most. I\u2019ve always tried to look ahead: how do we scale our impact, and where can my team and I make the biggest difference? I\u2019m convinced the answer is infrastructure. Not just satellites, missions, or launchers, as exciting as those are, but the physical bottlenecks underneath every space service: brutal supply chains, constant one-off engineering, no standardization, no flexibility to build differently, and painfully slow execution, an issue our industry badly underrates. I believe the greatest value goes to whoever owns the scarce physical inputs, because that\u2019s what lets you scale and raise the barrier to entry in your domain. <\/p>\n That\u2019s where we are now: taking EnduroSat to the next level by solving scalability for space infrastructure, a connected infrastructure that powers progress both in space and on the ground. I\u2019m excited to share that we\u2019re launching a new program to build exactly that, here on Earth. On a former military airfield, we\u2019re setting up an unprecedented center bringing together manufacturing, R&D, education, testing and logistics. It\u2019s complex, risky, and hard and we\u2019re taking it on anyway. If nothing else, it\u2019ll annoy the pessimists a little more. Huge thanks to our investors, backers, and my team for standing behind me through so many challenges already. Let\u2019s take on one more, bigger one, together. I can\u2019t wait to make mistakes, learn from them, and show what this team is made of.
