Tritonae

Space, operated from London

We are building
the operating layer
of the next space economy.

Access, operations, passengers, discovery. Five divisions, one instrument that measures the market before we commit capital to it.

Thesis

Everyone is watching the launch.
Almost nobody is building what comes after it.

Launch is no longer the hard part. It is priced, scheduled, insured and late — but it works. What does not work yet is everything downstream: who maintains an asset in orbit, who takes a passenger from enquiry to seat, who removes a dead satellite before it becomes someone else's problem.

That downstream layer is being built now, by very few companies, in a market that is still small enough to map. Tritonae exists to operate in it — and to sell the map while we do.

We start in London because the UK has a written licensing regime, a launch site on a Scottish island, and more trained space engineers than jobs for them. The market is global. The base is not.

Tritonae — five divisions, one instrument

Divisions

Five businesses.
One order of operations.

01 Selling today Horizon 2027

Access

Transport to orbit and back

Getting a payload, an instrument or a person off the ground is still a negotiation, not a purchase. We make it a purchase.

  • Brokerage of rideshare and dedicated slots, priced per kilogram and per risk.
  • Integration: adapter, separation, insurance, licensing paperwork.
  • A manifest watch that tells a client when their slot moves before the operator announces it.

Brokerage runs under legal review before the first transaction.

02 In preparation Horizon 2029

Operations

What happens once something is up there

Every satellite ever launched is either still up there or came down. Almost nobody is paid to manage the difference.

  • A register of assets approaching end of life, by orbit and by owner.
  • Brokerage between asset owners and servicing providers.
  • Our own servicing concept only when the register proves the demand.

We do not claim a spacecraft. We claim the customer list.

03 In preparation Horizon 2028

Passengers

Tourism, training, and the people who pay for it

Two per cent of the world's launch traffic is suborbital. That two per cent is the only route to a passenger seat.

  • Demand research: who in the UK and Europe would actually pay, and for what.
  • Brokerage of seats and training places once the operator contracts are real.
  • Medical and regulatory pathway mapped before the first client, not after.

No seat is sold before an operator has a licence and a date.

04 Research Horizon 2030

Discovery

Instruments, the Moon, and what we still do not know

Every era of expansion began with somebody measuring something nobody had measured before. Ours is the Moon's south pole and the objects that pass near us.

  • A map of who funds what, at which TRL, with which instrument.
  • Partnerships between instrument builders and mission hosts.
  • Open publication of the gaps we find — the gaps are the product.

Science is a customer segment, not a decoration.

05 Revenue Horizon Now

Intelligence

The division that already earns

Before we operate in a market, we measure it. That measurement turned out to be sellable on its own.

  • Market reports from £400 to £3,000.
  • Monthly intelligence from £60 to £300.
  • Advisory from £1,000 to £4,000 a month.

This division funds the other four. That is the point of it.

The market, counted

Three hundred launches.
One number that matters.

0 launches in the public queue
0 % leave from the United States
0 % fly on a single rocket
0 % of the next 90 days has no confirmed date
0 % launch from the United Kingdom — four
0 % of traffic is suborbital: the only passenger route

In pictures

This is the market.
Photographs, not symbols.

A pad, a crater, a station, a rover — and the people who pay for all of them.

Why now

Four things changed.
None of them is the rocket.

Cost

The price of reaching orbit fell by an order of magnitude in a decade. What did not fall was the cost of deciding what to send.

Law

The Space Industry Act 2018 and the CAA give the UK a licensing regime that is written, testable and still short of operators.

Capital

European space funding is moving from grants to equity. Equity asks for revenue, and revenue asks for customers.

People

The UK trains more space engineers than it employs. That is a supply of founders, not only of staff.

Programmes

What we are building,
and when it is allowed to begin.

A programme starts when the previous one pays for it. The year is a horizon, not a promise.

    The matrix

    96 criteria across 18 domains, applied identically to every country. The instrument the rest of the company is built on. Running.

    Access desk

    A brokerage desk for rideshare and dedicated slots: price per kilogram, risk per manifest, one contract instead of four.

    Passenger pathway

    The UK's first independent route from enquiry to seat: medical screening, training placement, operator contract, insurance.

Same scale, every country, no reinterpretation.

Missing data is a gap, never a zero. A country under 60% coverage does not receive a verdict. The score has to match its own argument, not the other way round.

The method, the gates, the findings →

Science

In 1492 the question was not whether the ocean had an edge. It was who would pay to find out.

Discovery is a customer segment. It has a budget, a buyer and a delivery date.

The south pole

Water ice, permanent shadow, and a legal regime that nobody has finished writing. The first commercially useful map of the Moon will be a map of who may do what, where.

Objects that pass near us

Near-Earth objects are resources and risks in the same catalogue. The instruments that find them are built by universities; the customers who need the data are insurers and operators.

Instruments without a ride

Europe builds excellent instruments and struggles to fly them. Matching an instrument to a host is a brokerage problem dressed as a science problem.
