NewtonFour
UK consultancy and propulsion testing firm focused on sustainable small spacecraft launch technology
Newton Launch Systems is a UK-based engineering consultancy founded in 2011 to develop technology for launching and operating small spacecraft. The company offers feasibility studies, bespoke test equipment design and manufacture, and low-TRL testing services to commercial clients and academia across the space, aerospace, and construction sectors. It has completed several satellite launcher feasibility studies with funding from the UK Space Agency. As a partner in the Snowdonia Space Centre, Newton operates a test facility providing rocket propulsion, thermal vacuum chamber, flight, and structural testing. Its internal R&D program centers on sustainable rocket propulsion, with an explicit focus on reducing the environmental impact of launch through reusable approaches rather than expendable rockets.
