Quoting from Valentin Benoit, RIDE! CEO: “
RIDE! and CAS Space have reached a historical agreement never achieved between a French and a Chinese NewSpace company.
RIDE! and Cas Space are two fast-growing innovative companies. Recently, CAS Space has successfully made its 2nd launch with 26 payloads onboard. And now, RIDE! launch-on-demand platform, allowing CAS Space to expand its business opportunities worldwide.
More than 250 satellite manufacturers and operators are present on RIDE! and will now have direct, streamlined access to the Kinetica1 launch vehicle.
The vision remains the same ("Make access to space affordable, reliable, and convenient"). Whatever the geography or country, being agnostic is key for a launch facilitator like RIDE!
Welcome CAS Space!”
As Kinetica 1 begins a regular launch cadence, ridesharing opportunities will be provided at least four times a year. Starting in 2025, a new, heavier vehicle will provide more opportunities, including low-inclination orbits and GTO access. Through RIDE!CAS Space will share available launch opportunities, and clients will have direct access to the space pros developing the Kinetica series.
