INGENIA
Orbital
Space, through magnetohydrodynamics
INGENIA Orbital designs ORBITA, a range of reusable launchers that return to Earth, with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion: plasma accelerated by electromagnetic fields, with no moving parts, for orbital access that is more frequent, cleaner and radically cheaper. INGENIA Orbital also develops the French space station EDENA.

Why ORBITA changes access to space
MHD propulsion
Plasma is accelerated by the Lorentz force: no combustion chamber, no turbopump, continuously adjustable thrust.
Reusable by design
With no mechanical wear, each stage flies hundreds of times with reduced inspection.
Clean and quiet
No toxic propellant, no combustion plume: launches compatible with sites near cities.
Sovereign
Design, power supply and assembly mastered in INGENIA's Bucharest plants.
Orbit, at industrial cadence
INGENIA Orbital carries the group's highest ambition: turning access to space into a series industry. Our ORBITA launchers, which return to Earth, replace chemical combustion with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion: plasma accelerated by electromagnetic fields, with no turbopumps or moving parts. Less mass, less risk, and a launch cadence aerospace has never seen — backed by a global banking partner and a chain fully mastered in Bucharest. INGENIA Orbital also develops the French space station EDENA.
ORBITA
ORBITA-1 (suborbital demonstrator), ORBITA-2 (low orbit, 2 t) and ORBITA-H (heavy, 20 t) share one core: an MHD accelerator powered by the group's energy modules. Reusable, quiet, no toxic propellant.
ORBITA launchers
Three classes of MHD launchers, from demonstrator to heavy, serving ARCHANGE and institutional customers.
Orbiting ARCHANGE
ORBITA deploys INGENIA Telecom's ARCHANGE constellation: a group that launches its own satellites.
AI-piloted flight
Guidance, plasma management and recovery automated, supervised from Bucharest.
Series production
INGENIA Factory plants print and assemble the accelerators on the line.
World's first company: space is part of it
With ORBITA, INGENIA closes the loop: energy, telecom, factories and launchers under one roof. We are hiring plasma, electromagnetics, GNC and structures engineers at scale.
SKYSPACE
SKYSPACE is INGENIA Orbital's reusable space vehicle: an integrated lifting-body fuselage with no pods or bolt-on nozzles, powered by ORBITA's MHD plasma accelerator. Horizontal take-off, orbital flight, gliding return: one vehicle, hundreds of rotations. Original INGENIA design, inspired by the lineage of European reusable shuttles (see Dassault Aviation's VORTEX programme, dassault-aviation.com).

Invention DNA
Thinking, the engine of every innovation
Every Orbital invention starts from the same source: the creative thinking of the INGENIA group, embodied by "Le Penseur".
