Reflex has been named one of Via Satellite’s 10 Smallsat Startups to Watch in 2026. This recognition comes at an exciting stage in our journey. We are scaling the production of high-performance, mission-specific satellite platforms and working with partners to build the next generation of critical space infrastructure. This recognition is thanks to our team, our customers, and our partners helping us turn ambitious mission requirements into capabilities in orbit.

The best satellite for your mission isn't one sitting in a warehouse. It's the one that's been designed around your requirements. That's where our Satellite System Concept Engineers come in. Meet Pavel Solenov, who bridges engineering and business development to turn mission objectives into high-performance satellite concepts. #NextSpace #MeetReflex

A satellite needs to know where it is in orbit, where it is pointing, and where it needs to go. That’s the role of the Attitude and Orbit Control System (#AOCS). From simulations and algorithms to flight software and sensor technologies, the Reflex AOCS team ensures that our satellites can reliably and accurately point their payloads and maintain the correct orbit. Levi Vuylsteke and Gabriele Palumbo explain how the team is developing this capability at Reflex and applying it to our upcoming missions. #NewSpace #NextSpace #SmallSats

Europe needs resilient ISR. Space is a critical part of the solution. Satellites don't replace drones, aircraft, or ships. They augment them with the situational awareness needed to make faster, better-informed decisions. Dr. Waldemar Krebs explains why #SmallSat constellations are becoming an essential part of Europe's Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance architecture. #CriticalInfrastructure #NewSpace #NextSpace #StrategicAutonomy

Every mission starts with a question: What do you need to succeed in orbit? Whether you're flying optical EO, SAR, SATCOM, or something entirely new, our mission questionnaire is the first step toward a satellite platform tailored to your mission requirements. Tell us what you're building. We'll help you develop the right satellite platform for mission success. https://lnkd.in/e8M_WjRg #NextSpace #AdaptableSatellites #SmallSats

Europe's space ambitions need industrial capacity. Last week, we opened the doors to our new facility in Berlin. We were proud to welcome leaders from government, industry, academia, and the wider space community to discuss what comes next. Europe's space ambitions must now be matched by industrial execution. At Reflex, we're building the satellite platforms and industrial capacity that will help make that possible. Thank you to everyone who joined us. Here's to the next chapter. A special thanks to our keynote speakers Claudia Major, Professor Andreas Knopp, and Daniel Metzler, and to everyone who joined us. #NewSpace #NextSpace #StrategicAutonomy #MadeInGermany

Space is critical infrastructure. It's a pillar of security, economic competitiveness, and sovereignty. We're proud that our CEO Walter Ballheimer, was invited to share Reflex's perspective at the German Bundestag's expert hearing on the future of the German space sector. Germany has world-class engineering talent, innovative companies, and an ambitious NewSpace ecosystem. Now we need procurement and industrial policies that enable companies to scale. With the right framework in place, Germany can unlock the full potential of its space industry. We look forward to helping build the industrial base that will shape Germany's future in space. #NewSpace #SpaceSovereignty #StrategicAutonomy #MadeInGermany
I was honored to contribute to the expert hearing of the Bundestag's Research Committee on July 8 to discuss the future of Germany's space sector. My key messages: space is no longer just a field of scientific excellence – it has become a strategic capability underpinning national security, technological sovereignty as well as economic competitiveness. Germany has the technological expertise and entrepreneurial talent to build a sovereign space infrastructure. What we are still missing: the ability to translate these strengths into industrial scale and operational capability. Achieving this requires a resilient and diversified industrial ecosystem that fully leverages the innovative potential of the #NewSpace sector. This means: (1) supporting domestic companies through public anchor contracts; (2) SME-friendly procurement criteria and the involvement of multiple suppliers in a phased approach; (3) Expanding opportunities for validating and further developing innovations in real-world testbeds/pilot projects. Many thanks to the Research Committee, and especially Florian Müller, for the invitation and the opportunity to contribute Reflex's perspective. Now is the time to put in place the right regulatory framework. And, together, build a strong industrial base that ensures German sovereignty in space!

What does it take to build the next generation of European space infrastructure? In the latest episode of Behind the Orbit, our CTO Felix Motzki discussed his unconventional path into space, the engineering culture we're building at Reflex, and why #adaptable, mission-specific spacecraft are becoming essential for the next generation of space missions. Thanks to Joe Reed and TECHNE for hosting the discussion.
"I think it's never too late to change. You should never feel locked in just because you've taken a certain route." Felix Motzki's path to becoming CTO of Reflex Aerospace wasn't planned. He started in biomedical engineering, moved into ultrasound imaging, then deep-sea sonar technology, before eventually helping build some of Europe's most ambitious space companies. Today, he's leading the engineering vision at Reflex Aerospace, following one of the largest Series A raises in European New Space history. In this episode of Behind the Orbit, Felix shares: 🚀 Why technical depth matters more than chasing job titles 🚀 The career lessons he learned through IPOs, hypergrowth and difficult restructuring decisions 🚀 How Reflex Aerospace is rethinking satellite manufacturing through custom, mission-focused spacecraft 🚀 Why Europe’s space industry is entering a new era of collaboration between established primes and New Space innovators 🚀 The mindset he looks for when hiring engineers: ownership, accountability and a willingness to build A fascinating conversation on leadership, engineering culture, scaling teams, and the future of Europe's space ecosystem. Thank you to Felix for joining us and to Joe Reed for hosting another great discussion.
