Lúnasa Space is a UK-based space-tech startup focused on making space operations safer and more sustainable through autonomous satellite navigation solutions. They are developing reusable, dual-stage vehicles to reduce the time and cost for SmallSats to access Earth orbits and beyond, offering services like last-mile transportation, life extension, and active debris removal. Lúnasa's first-generation dual-stage automated miniature space station, VIA, is designed for in-orbit satellite services, and they have a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to build a high-precision relative GNSS. Key focus areas include satellite navigation, onboard computing, and digital twinning.
