Why Reflex? The Faster Way to Get to Orbit | Reflex Aerospace
In an era where time-to-orbit is increasingly vital, Reflex Aerospace is breaking the mould. In this video, Co-Founder & COO Alexander Genzel explains how we build custom-made, high-performance satellites, and deliver them with radically shorter lead times than traditional space companies. No compromises. Just smarter, faster space manufacturing built for your specific mission.
At the heart of our approach is a simple but powerful promise: deliver tailor-made satellite platforms that combine best-in-class performance with accelerated delivery. That means you get a satellite platform optimized for your mission (whether communications, Earth observation, dual-use or defence), without enduring typical development cycles of multiple years. As pointed out in a recent feature, Reflex Aerospace aims to cut those typical 2-4 year cycles down significantly.
Our “fast satellite manufacturing” approach hinges on several pillars: mission-centric design, modular architecture, additive manufacturing and in-house production. With delivery times measured in months instead of years, we empower customers to respond to opportunities and threats in orbit with agility.
For organisations planning secure, sovereign or rapid-deployment space capability, this makes a difference. Whether you're a government aiming to deploy resilient infrastructure or a commercial player wanting tailored satellite systems, our focus is on mission success: delivering a satellite that’s built for your specific payload, environment and timeframe.
From Alexander’s background as a military officer working in space operations to his role overseeing operations at Reflex Aerospace, the leadership’s experience underscores the importance of reliability, security and speed.
If you’re exploring options in the small/medium satellite segment, looking for high performance satellite manufacturing in Europe, or considering a partner that won’t force you into “stock” bus solutions with long delays, this video is a great starting point. It explains what we do, why we do it differently and how we can bring your mission to orbit faster than ever.
