Orbital Paradigm

Orbital Paradigm is a Spanish aerospace startup founded in 2023 and based in Valencia. It designs and manufactures highly autonomous reusable reentry capsules and guidance systems, enabling cost-effective, frequent return of cargo from orbit. Its flagship Kestrel-class vehicle can carry up to 120 kg for months-long missions and then re-enter with pinpoint accuracy. Orbital Paradigm aims to serve in-space manufacturing and research by providing a reliable Earth-return service, and has secured early contracts (including an ESA study) to demonstrate its technology.
