Cofondateur

Description

From passion to SpaceTech start-up Fascinated by space since the age of 13, Antoine Fourcade immersed himself in the world of launchers from an early age, taking part in the Perseus project, the first student project in France dedicated to the development of sounding rockets. In April 2020, Antoine founded Sirius Space Services as a Pépite Sorbonne Université student-entrepreneur, with the vision of developing a range of small reusable launchers specifically designed for new categories of satellites. Today, at the head of a team of more than 80 people and its first pilot plant located just a few kilometres from the French capital, Antoine and Sirius Space Services aim to offer sustainable launch solutions, while proudly affirming their commitment to France's sovereignty. Thanks to the France 2030 programme, Sirius Space Services is one of the four winners to have received an order from the French government and is now preparing to enter its industrial phase, with the aim of ensuring the first launches from 2026.
