Leanspace emerges
from stealth to digitalize the space industry via
the cloud. Leanspace, the company building
the future digital infrastructure of the space
industry, today announced its launch out of stealth
mode with several major customers. A Seraphim Space
backed start-up, it has already raised over 2
million Euro in seed funding from institutional and
angel investors. Its first offering is the
Leanspace Cloud, a technology enabling space
organizations to easily build integrated software
ecosystems to run space missions. It will be
launched at the SpaceTechExpo in Bremen, Germany,
via a public demonstration event in partnership with
ClearSpace, the The first cloud
platform dedicated to space missions The commercialization of the
space industry is bringing a myriad of new and
innovative space programmes, ranging from small
satellite constellations, to launchers, to in-orbit
services. As every use case is unique, they all
require setting up new, custom, ground software
infrastructures to manage their operations. "I've spent the last decade
building and selling ground segment software, from
bespoke solutions to off-the-shelf products. The
truth is: 80% is always the same!" explains
Guillaume Tanier, The Leanspace cloud provides
the common building blocks of space software,
accessible in a Platform-as-a-Service model.
Engineers will find a large collection of
standardized, generic web services that they can use
through simple APIs. With them, they can build
bespoke software systems for example for monitoring
& control, mission planning, satellite testing, or
configuration management. They can do it themselves;
5x faster, 2x cheaper, easily and in a scalable way.
In one word, lean. Digitalizing the space
industry: opening a new lean space Every space player invests
today to leverage the benefits of digital
transformation: scalability of the cloud, digital
engineering, and modular, iterative developments.
But the missing piece is the ability to link
together tools, data and third party services, in a
seamless, integrated ecosystem. "Today, space organizations set
up their ground infrastructures by mixing
technologies: off-the-shelf products, open source
libraries, and countless in-house developments. The
result is a fragmented and complex infrastructure
that requires highly manual interventions and
doesn't scale," said Alvaro Alonso Ruiz, co-founder
and CCO. "This problem has already been solved in
many other industries, just like Shopify for
ecommerce. But nobody has done it for space, until
now. " Leveraging the Leanspace Cloud
makes it possible to create collaborative systems
which operate as a Single source of Truth, across
assets, teams and business phases. It enables
digital processes and more business agility than
ever before. In one word, we make the industry lean. A fast growing
commercial traction Leanspace empowers the entire
industry. Space operators can now build their own
systems, step by step, from small applications to
entire ground segments, but much easier and faster.
Software integrators can now create smarter
solutions for their customers. Providers of
off-the-shelf products can now easily adapt and
extend their portfolio to reach new markets. Leanspace's customer base
includes big names like ClearSpace, an ESA-funded
space debris removal company, and many others from a
variety of use cases: satellite constellations,
space-as-a-service, micro-launchers and system
integrators. With the commercialization of
the industry, every organization needs to
drastically reduce costs, time and be future-proof.
"This is the only way to allow space businesses to
thrive and together build the future space economy."
