Augsburg, August 19, 2020. The youngest member of the international OHB family, the launch service provider Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA), signed a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Exolaunch to provide end-to-end launch services for small satellites.
“RFA is looking forward to launching the first RFA One vehicle, using separation and payload deployment systems supplied by Exolaunch. We are optimistic that this partnership will generate a win-win situation for all parties involved, in particular our customers,” said Dr Stefan Brieschenk, Chief Operations Officer at RFA. “The agreement between our companies not only expands access to commercial space opportunities, but also reinforces Germany’s leadership position in the space industry in Europe,” said Jeanne Medvedeva, Commercial Director at Exolaunch.
