POCKETQUBE LAUNCH - COMPLETED MISSIONS
Alba Orbital has completed three successful missions and launched 41 PocketQube payloads to orbit - more than any organisation worldwide. As the leading PocketQube rideshare provider, our mission is to democratise access to space by offering regular launch opportunties for as low as 25,000 Euro.
As PocketQubes are much smaller than traditional satellites, measuring at just 5x5x5cm per unit (or ‘P’), the cost-to-orbit is made significantly more affordable for groups who are looking to send spacecraft to space!
