Congrats to our PortCo POLARIS Spaceplanes to receiving a groundbreaking Bundeswehr contract to build and flight-test reusable hypersonic vehicles. This large project, including manufacturing and operating of a two-stage, horizontal take-off and fully reusable hypersonic plane will be paving the way for a new era of Germany’s role in space!
POLARIS RECEIVES GROUNDBREAKING BAAINBW CONTRACT TO BUILD AND FLIGHT-TEST REUSABLE HYPERSONIC VEHICLE We are extremely pleased to announce that POLARIS has received a BAAINBw* contract for manufacturing and operating a two-stage, horizontal take-off and fully reusable hypersonic research vehicle. The main purpose of the two-stage system is to serve as hypersonic testbed & experimental platform for defense-related as well as scientific/institutional research. In a secondary function, the vehicle can be used as spaceplane for launching small-satellites when using an expendable upper-stage. The concept for HYTEV (Hypersonic Test and Experimentation Vehicle) was developed during preparatory works conducted in 2024 and 2025, also under BAAINBw contract (see news release earlier in 2025). The system with the size and take-off mass of a fighter jet is to be flight ready by the end of 2027. The main stage is to be powered by 2 x turbofans and an aerospike rocket engine, while the upper-stage is rocket-powered only. We are incredible proud about the continuous trust of Bundeswehr in our competences. As far as we know, a contract for a comparable system was never awarded before to an entity in Europe, maybe even worldwide. We are looking forward to an exciting and highly ambitious project! *Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support

Spacewalk is proud to be backing Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins from Coherence Neuro in their journey to execute on their vision of becoming a true neuromodulation platform! Coherence Neuro has been working very hard for the past few years and launched the world’s smallest BCI device with unprecedented technical capabilities to fight brain cancer as their first indication. Based on foundational neurotechnology from Elise’s research, Coherence Neuro unlocks a new dimension of biological data and applies neuromodulation in a closed-loop fashion to trigger the patient’s own immune system to cure cancer. With first-in-human-trials starting next year, Spacewalk is proudly part of an extraordinary journey together with Topology Ventures, Blackbird, Artesian (Alternative Investments), XEIA Venture Partners, Jumpspace Ventures and Possible Ventures. Massive congratulations to Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins and the entire Coherence Neuro team! #CoherenceNeuro #NeuroTech #Neuromodulation #BrainCancer #BCI

🚀 Spacewalk VC is thrilled to back Alexander Kopp and the entire POLARIS Spaceplanes team as they pioneer a new category of reusable spaceplanes — launched from any runway anywhere, with full reusability. 💸 After successfully igniting the world’s first in-flight aerospike engine, Polaris has now secured additional €5M funding to fuel growth from Spacewalk VC, Capnamic, Guiseppe Nardi, alongside returning believers like E2MC (Earth-to-Mars Capital), Dienes Holding, Matthias Spott, etc. 🚀 POLARIS Spaceplanes is building spaceplanes that combine the agility of aircraft with the thrust of rockets — delivering point-to-point hypersonic transport and single-stage-to-orbit capabilities with minimal ground infrastructure, allowing for faster responsiveness and more flexible, more independent operations. 🛰️ With strong funding support from the German government, the European Space Agency, and commercial clients, Polaris is set to reshape how we access and operate in space —and redefine Europe’s role in the space economy. 🤝 Huge thanks this amazing syndicate of investors and especially THANK YOU to the whole Polaris team for pushing the edge of what’s possible in aerospace.
