Orbex receives $3.4 M to establish green propulsion excellence centre

UK-based launch provider Orbex has received funding of DKK 23.7 million ($3.4 million) from Innovation Fund Denmark to set up its Green Propulsion Excellence Centre in Copenhagen.

The Centre is being constructed in collaboration with Danish company FORCE Technology. Orbex will use the centre to design, produce, and test green propulsion systems for its rockets and FORCE Technology will contribute with the development of a “high-energy CT X-ray facility” that will ensure the quality of Orbex’s 3D-printed rocket engines before launch.
