Pangea Aerospace

Pangea Aerospace is a propulsion specialist based in Barcelona, focused on the design and manufacture of high-efficiency rocket engines for the small satellite launcher market. The company occupies a specific niche in the upstream space supply chain, concentrating on the industrialisation of aerospike engine technology and advanced additive manufacturing techniques to improve nozzle performance and thermal management. Its primary development programmes include the Arcos aerospike engine and the U-Nique reusable combustion chamber. The organisation collaborates with the European Space Agency and CNES through various technology contracts and has established partnerships with industrial firms like Aernnova for aerospike development. These systems are intended to support the next generation of reusable micro-launchers and orbital transfer vehicles. Prospective partners should verify the current Technology Readiness Level of specific engine prototypes and the results of recent hot-fire test campaigns. As the company relies heavily on 3D-printed copper alloys for regenerative cooling, buyers should assess their proprietary material qualifications and their capacity to scale production from experimental units to flight-ready hardware.
