The atmosphere at that altitude still exerts enough drag to slow any object within days, pulling it back down to Earth. <\/p>\n<p>No one had found a sustainable way of going closer without burning through fuel at an absurd rate, so the industry settled for higher orbits and left the rest unexplored.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the distances involved, we first have to consider that the Moon finds itself at an average of 384,000 km distance from Earth. Geosynchronous orbits (GEO), which match the Earth&#8217;s daily rotation, sit at 35,768 km and are home to satellites such as SpainsatNG, which hovers permanently over the Iberian Peninsula. <\/p>\n<p>Below that are medium orbits (MEO), between geosynchronous orbits and 2,000 km from Earth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/60\/77\/808x454_cmsv2_97d40ca1-3ed9-59f4-ad49-17be08729bd7-9716077.jpg\" alt=\"Distance of the different types of orbits on Earth\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Distance of the different types of Earth orbits<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Wikipedia By Mark Mercer &#8211; Own work | Canva &#8211; Jes\u00fas Maturana<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Below 2,000 km we get the low Earth orbit, or LEO.

The Vigo-based company has developed an electric engine that turns the very drag that makes these orbits so hostile into a source of propulsion, targeting altitudes of between 150 and 400 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>Francisco Boira, one of the six founders, puts it plainly. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;VLEO orbits are not currently used because at these distances there is a lot of aerodynamic drag. To counteract it, huge amounts of fuel are needed, enough to give the satellite an autonomy of days and make it entirely unfeasible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5489021956087824\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/60\/77\/808x444_cmsv2_11c17b23-528a-535b-a91c-19aed823df52-9716077.jpg\" alt=\"Kreios Space ABEP engine\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Kreios Space ABEP engine<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Keios Space<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Their solution is the ABEP (Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion) engine, which captures atmospheric air, converts it into plasma and uses it as propellant, powered entirely by solar energy.

The round follows an earlier \u20ac2.3 million raised in 2024, bringing total investment to more than \u20ac10 million.<\/p>\n<h2>What VLEO orbits offer compared to higher orbits<\/h2>\n<p>The advantages of operating at very low altitude are significant. Satellites at VLEO capture images at three times the resolution of those in higher orbits using the same technology. <\/p>\n<p>They offer direct broadband connectivity to mobile devices without bulky antennas, with communication latency dropping to between 2 and 8 milliseconds compared to around 50 milliseconds for LEO satellites and nearly half a second for geostationary ones.<\/p>\n<p>VLEO orbits are also uncrowded and free of space debris \u2014 a growing problem at higher altitudes. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would help avoid the Kessler syndrome, where a single explosion in LEO could trigger a chain reaction of collisions that renders the orbit unusable,&#8221; Boira, one of the founders, said. <\/p>\n<p>Any Kreios satellite whose propulsion fails would simply fall back into the atmosphere and burn up.<\/p>\n<p>There are trade-offs. The closer to Earth, the more satellites are needed to achieve global coverage, and the more propulsion energy is required to maintain altitude. <\/p>\n<p>Launch logistics are also more complex. SpaceX currently offers positioning at a minimum of 500 km, meaning a VLEO-bound satellite must be released higher and allowed to descend. <\/p>\n<p>That cost premium may fall if operators develop dedicated VLEO launch services, with candidates including SpaceX or Spain&#8217;s own PLD Space.<\/p>\n<p>One thing VLEO is certainly not is a collision risk with aircraft. Commercial flights cruise at 13\u201314 km, and even high-altitude jets reach no higher than 37 km. Any descending satellite would burn up in the atmosphere long before it got close.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.641875\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/60\/77\/808x518_cmsv2_6696b764-4977-50b1-a0bd-acd94788ddcb-9716077.jpg\" alt=\"Kreios Space founders\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Founders of Kreios Space<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Kreios Space<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>From the Barcelona classrooms to the Nigr\u00e1n facilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The six founders, including Adri\u00e1n Senar, Jan Matar\u00f3, Francisco Boira, Adri\u00e0 Barcel\u00f3, Max Amer and Francisco Bosch, were classmates while studying Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic School of Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p>The company was born in 2021 from that group, each of them less than 25 years old, and soon found in Galicia the institutional support it needed in its early stages when the risk was higher.<\/p>\n<p>Today they have their headquarters in the free zone of Vigo and are about to move to new facilities in Porto do Molle, in the municipality of Nigr\u00e1n.

The atmosphere at that altitude still exerts enough drag to slow any object within days, pulling it back down to Earth.No one had found a sustainable way of going closer without burning through fuel at an absurd rate, so the industry settled for higher orbits and left the rest unexplored.To understand the distances involved, we first have to consider that the Moon finds itself at an average of 384,000 km distance from Earth. Geosynchronous orbits (GEO), which match the Earth&#8217;s daily rotation, sit at 35,768 km and are home to satellites such as SpainsatNG, which hovers permanently over the Iberian Peninsula.Below that are medium orbits (MEO), between geosynchronous orbits and 2,000 km from Earth.Below 2,000 km we get the low Earth orbit, or LEO. And below 500 km \u2014 until now, effectively off-limits \u2014 lies very low Earth orbit, or VLEO.That is exactly where Kreios Space is headed. The Vigo-based company has developed an electric engine that turns the very drag that makes these orbits so hostile into a source of propulsion, targeting altitudes of between 150 and 400 kilometres.Francisco Boira, one of the six founders, puts it plainly.&#8221;VLEO orbits are not currently used because at these distances there is a lot of aerodynamic drag. To counteract it, huge amounts of fuel are needed, enough to give the satellite an autonomy of days and make it entirely unfeasible.&#8221;Their solution is the ABEP (Air-Breathing Electric Propulsion) engine, which captures atmospheric air, converts it into plasma and uses it as propellant, powered entirely by solar energy. The result is a satellite that can remain in orbit for years rather than days, with no fossil fuel reserves and no debris left behind.After more than five years of development, the engine achieved certification and ground testing in 2026. The next step is orbit.Why NATO set its sights on GaliciaIn September 2025, Kreios Space closed an \u20ac8 million funding round led by the NATO Innovation Fund, a \u20ac1 billion private equity fund backed by 24 NATO allies that invests in cutting-edge European technology across defence, security and resilience. JOIN Capital, Grow Venture Partners, Xesgalicia and Tasivia Global also participated.Kreios is the first Spanish startup to appear on the Atlantic alliance&#8217;s strategic radar.David Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez of the NATO Innovation Fund said Kreios represents a breakthrough into an orbit previously considered out of reach and highlighted its significance for European security. The round follows an earlier \u20ac2.3 million raised in 2024, bringing total investment to more than \u20ac10 million.What VLEO orbits offer compared to higher orbitsThe advantages of operating at very low altitude are significant. Satellites at VLEO capture images at three times the resolution of those in higher orbits using the same technology.They offer direct broadband connectivity to mobile devices without bulky antennas, with communication latency dropping to between 2 and 8 milliseconds compared to around 50 milliseconds for LEO satellites and nearly half a second for geostationary ones.VLEO orbits are also uncrowded and free of space debris \u2014 a growing problem at higher altitudes.&#8221;It would help avoid the Kessler syndrome, where a single explosion in LEO could trigger a chain reaction of collisions that renders the orbit unusable,&#8221; Boira, one of the founders, said.Any Kreios satellite whose propulsion fails would simply fall back into the atmosphere and burn up.There are trade-offs. The closer to Earth, the more satellites are needed to achieve global coverage, and the more propulsion energy is required to maintain altitude.Launch logistics are also more complex. SpaceX currently offers positioning at a minimum of 500 km, meaning a VLEO-bound satellite must be released higher and allowed to descend.That cost premium may fall if operators develop dedicated VLEO launch services, with candidates including SpaceX or Spain&#8217;s own PLD Space.One thing VLEO is certainly not is a collision risk with aircraft. Commercial flights cruise at 13\u201314 km, and even high-altitude jets reach no higher than 37 km. Any descending satellite would burn up in the atmosphere long before it got close.From the Barcelona classrooms to the Nigr\u00e1n facilitiesThe six founders, including Adri\u00e1n Senar, Jan Matar\u00f3, Francisco Boira, Adri\u00e0 Barcel\u00f3, Max Amer and Francisco Bosch, were classmates while studying Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic School of Catalonia.The company was born in 2021 from that group, each of them less than 25 years old, and soon found in Galicia the institutional support it needed in its early stages when the risk was higher.Today they have their headquarters in the free zone of Vigo and are about to move to new facilities in Porto do Molle, in the municipality of Nigr\u00e1n. There they will complete the entire manufacturing and validation process without leaving Galicia.The space has a clean room, a sealed environment with extremely low levels of suspended particles, essential for working with precision components, and a vacuum chamber that simulates the conditions of outer space for testing prior to launch.Then the road takes the satellite to Cape Canaveral in Florida. For the time being, this is the only remaining leg outside Galicia.The team has grown to 17 people and has accumulated awards in 2025 such as the EmprendeXXI Galicia Awards, the award for the most disruptive startup at South Summit Korea and another at MindtechVigo.Its advisors have experience in Thales, the European Space Agency and the Japanese space agency JAXA.In-orbit demonstrationsThe funding will go towards launching the first two test satellites, including the first in-orbit demonstration of an ABEP engine.If that goes to plan, the next stage is commercial constellations targeting Earth observation and direct-to-device communications.The applications are wide-ranging. High-resolution Earth observation has uses in agriculture, resource management and defence.In Spain, Kreios is already collaborating on an early fire-detection project called \u00cdcaro, alongside the University of Vigo and Telespazio Ib\u00e9rica.The communications potential may be just as significant. VLEO satellites could maintain functional networks even when ground infrastructure fails, a capability that would have been valuable during Spain&#8217;s recent nationwide blackout or the floods that devastated Valencia in the Dana disaster.Kreios Space is not yet five years old, and none of its founders has reached 30. What they have built in that time \u2014 proprietary technology, NATO backing, state-of-the-art facilities and a satellite on the cusp of launch \u2014 is a reasonable measure of what a handful of young Spanish engineers can achieve when given the room to try.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2026\/04\/15\/satellites-that-breathe-the-spanish-space-startup-that-won-over-nato&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/60\/77\/1200x675_cmsv2_20b81304-d326-5c10-8f8c-6f14d5ba2fb2-9716077.jpg&#8221;] Cinema &#8216;Not my King&#8217;: Lord Of The Rings prequel casting divides internet No Comment Strikes hit Sloviansk and Sumy as Russia pounds Ukrainian cities Tech News What can China\u2019s next generation of robots do?
