The company manufactures a range of proprietary deployment hardware including the CarboNIX and CarboNIX NEO separation systems for microsatellites, the Quadro Arrow and Quadro Versa four-point separation systems, EXOpod and EXOpod AIR CubeSat deployers, the EXOtube universal modular adapter, and the EXObox deployment sequencer. Exolaunch has deployed over 675 satellites across 42 missions and has participated in every SpaceX Transporter and Bandwagon rideshare flight since their inception. The company is bootstrapped and cashflow-positive, operating from offices in Berlin, Denver, Toulouse, and Tokyo. Its customer base spans commercial operators, government agencies, universities, and emerging space nations.
