The Exploration Company Adopts Integrated Toolchain For Reusable Cargo Capsule
The Exploration Company, a Franco-German startup, has selected Siemens’ Xcelerator software portfolio to support the development of its reusable cargo capsule, Nyx. The software tools will be used for mechanical design, engineering simulation, electrical systems design, and product lifecycle management. Nyx is being developed to provide Europe with a sovereign means of returning cargo from low Earth orbit, with the first orbital demonstration flight targeted for 2028. The company has already completed several test flights, including a subscale demonstrator and a recovery system drop test. The Exploration Company’s adoption of Siemens software was first reported by AeroTime.
