Lichtenau, Germany – February 5, 2025 – ATMOS Space Cargo (ATMOS), a leading European space logistics startup announces the test flight of its PHOENIX re-entry capsule to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is targeted to launch on the Bandwagon-3 rideshare mission with SpaceX no earlier than April 2025.
The capsule will complete two orbits around Earth before attempting its atmospheric re-entry.
After completing a series of rigorous formal qualifications, ATMOS received a positive payload determination from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January 2025. This milestone makes ATMOS the first private company in Europe to receive such authorization and the first non-governmental entity in European history to attempt space re-entry.
SpaceX confirmed the implementation of PHOENIX on its upcoming Bandwagon-3 mission.
This testflight of the PHOENIX mission is the first of a planned series of orbital flights designed to refine ATMOS' groundbreaking technology, ultimately shaping the future of commercial re-entry systems.

FIRST FLIGHT MISSION OBJECTIVES
The primary goal of the PHOENIX 1 prototype's inaugural flight is to gather critical data on the capsule and its innovative Inflatable Heat Shield. The mission aims to accelerate the development of a versatile and robust re-entry platform for commercial applications.
ATMOS outlines three core objectives for the prototype's test flight:
1. Collecting in-flight data from the capsule and sub-components in orbit.
2. Gathering scientific data from customer payloads carrying technology demonstrators and biological experiments.
3. Successfully deploying and stabilizing the Inflatable Heat Shield during atmospheric re-entry.

The mission is expected to conclude with the prototype's demise during re-entry, providing valuable flight data for the next iteration of this platform – the PHOENIX 2 capsule.

PHOENIX INNOVATIVE RE-ENTRY TECHNOLOGY
ATMOS' PHOENIX return capsule represents cutting-edge innovation in space, designed to transport payloads of various sizes and weights. The initial iteration of the capsule is capable of carrying up to 100 kg. Future versions are planned to handle larger scale orbital supplies of several tonnes, including rocket stages.
The PHOENIX capsule features a pioneering Inflatable Heat Shield, which inflates in orbit to decelerate the spacecraft early during re-entry from orbital speeds (~7800 m/s) all the way down to acceptable speeds for a controlled water landing without parachutes. This shield combines advanced aerodynamics with cutting-edge thermal materials to protect sensitive payloads from extreme heat while maintaining flight stability with low accelerations.
The PHOENIX platform offers the highest payload efficiency on the market of 1:2, significantly enhancing mission capabilities for microgravity exposure ranging from three hours to three months. Its unique payload capacity is reducing existing downmass costs, thereby opening access to microgravity and in-space manufacturing for a wide range of industries and applications. Target customers for this platform include organizations in life sciences, biotechnology, in-space manufacturing, defense, and institutional sectors.
In December 2024, ATMOS already secured a commercial contract for 7 re-entry missions (https://atmos-space-cargo.com/milestones/7-re-entry-missions-with-space-cargo-unlimited/) until 2027.

INAUGURAL PAYLOADS
The inaugural testflight will carry four diverse payloads, including biological experiments and technological demonstrations in microgravity. The first payload customers to be communicated are:

• DLR (Germany): German Aerospace Center – Institute of Aerospace Medicine: Developing radiation detectors for space missions. Their M-42 radiation detector will measure the radiation environment during orbit.
• IDDK (Japan): Develops space laboratories for biological and life science experiments, specialized by its patented one-chip microscopic observation technology, Micro Imaging Device (MID).
• FRONTIER SPACE (UK): Developing a modular and scalable 'lab-in-a-box' SpaceLab and bioreactor for in-space manufacturing to unlock the growing commercial industrial microgravity sector.

More detailed profiles of payload customers will be released soon.

PHOENIX 1 Protoflight Update: Re-entry Trajectory Changed

A few weeks ago leading to launch, we received a mission update from SpaceX: the de-orbit burn and separation coordinates for PHOENIX 1 has been shifted which ultimately effect our mission parameters: an entirely new Return Trajectory and changed Flight Path Angle for our prototype's first test flight.
Based on our calculations we are expecting significantly higher thermal and aerodynamic loads that will push our system to its limits while setting up new ground stations across South America and planning a bold and experimental air-to-air recon mission to chase our capsule during re-entry to aquire as much data as possible at this point.
We drafted a brief summary on the confirmed changes and their potential impact to our mission design and risk profile.
What has not changed: Our Misson Objectives. We remain strongly focussed on gathering flight data to advance our re-entry technology in the fastest possible way. Re-factoring and implementing an almost entirely new mission plan was challenging, but this is what we came up with.
Time to fly!
GO PHOENIX!

ЦитироватьСЕУЛ, 22 апреля. /ТАСС/. Четвертый спутник разведывательного назначения Республики Корея успешно выведен на целевую орбиту. Об этом сообщило агентство Yonhap со ссылкой на Министерство обороны РК.
Пуск состоялся в 09:48 по сеульскому времени (03:48 мск) с базы Космических сил США на мысе Канаверал в штате Флорида. Аппарат на орбиту вывела ракета Falcon 9 американской компании SpaceX.
Всего Республика Корея планирует запустить еще один спутник до конца 2025 года. Пять аппаратов на орбите позволят Сеулу установить постоянное наблюдение за КНДР с интервалом в два часа. Первый разведывательный спутник был запущен в декабре 2023 года. Собственный потенциал космической разведки снизит зависимость южнокорейской стороны от США в этом вопросе.

Цитата: https://europeanspaceflight.com/atmos-space-cargo-tentatively-declares-phoenix-1-flight-a-success/ATMOS Space Cargo объявила об успехе миссии PHOENIX 1
(краткий обзор статьи)

На основе предварительных данных немецкая компания ATMOS Space Cargo сообщила об успешном завершении полета своей первой возвращаемой капсулы PHOENIX 1. Капсула была запущена 22 апреля на ракете SpaceX Falcon 9 в рамках миссии Bandwagon-3.
 
Предполагается, что аппарат должен доставлять до 100 кг груза на низкую околоземную орбиту сроком до трех месяцев и возвращаться в атмосферу с помощью надувного теплового щита. После входа в атмосферу капсула должна была приводниться через 30 минут.  За  посадкой капсулы должен был следить самолёт сопровождения, но место приводнения оказалось на 500 км дальше ожидаемого. 

Компания подтвердила получение данных от четырех коммерческих полезных нагрузок и успешное надувание теплового щита. Однако из-за изменения в последний момент заранее согласованного со SpaceX угла входа в атмосферу условия для работы теплового щита оказались за пределами проектных требований.
 
Основные цели миссии — сбор данных о капсуле, получение научных данных и запись данных о тепловом щите — были выполнены.
 
ATMOS Space Cargo работает над улучшенной версией капсулы PHOENIX 2 с независимой системой маневрирования, первый полет которой запланирован на 2026 год. В феврале компания получила €13,1 млн инвестиций от Европейской комиссии.
