Developer of autonomous reusable reentry vehicles for small-mass, high-cadence Earth return from orbit
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Valencia, Spain, Orbital Paradigm develops autonomous reusable reentry vehicles designed for small-mass, high-cadence missions serving in-space manufacturing and logistics providers. The company's spacecraft leverage proprietary autopilot software and a reusable heatshield to deliver low-acceleration return, pinpoint landing, and rapid refurbishment. In January 2026, the company completed its first mission, "KID," successfully demonstrating atmospheric reentry flight, and holds an ESA contract for reusable thermal protection system development.
