We help NewSpace teams quickly and safely go through all stages: from booking tests and logistics to ESA Zero Debris 2030 compliance
About us
I am Svitlana Karmazyn, Founder & Visionary.
10+ years of experience in international business development (Europe and Asia). My mission is to make space more accessible for teams and startups.
Market & Why Now
The European space industry is currently experiencing an upswing, creating a huge potential market for LaunchReady services. The main factors confirming the relevance and capacity of the market are:
- The EU CASSINI programme alone has provided financial support to almost 600 companies with space projects. Today, there are over 600 active space startups in the EU
- Regulatory trends (such as the aforementioned Zero Debris 2030) actually require companies to take additional actions that they could previously ignore
- In 2024, investments in private space companies in Europe reached a record €1.5 billion (56% more than the previous year)[9], indicating a stable interest of investors in the space sector
What prevents space startups from growing?
Young teams often find it difficult to organize such complex transportation and other bureaucratic procedures
Few test centers, long lines
Complex logistics of satellites and batteries
EU export control / ITAR
ESA Zero Debris compliance
Our solution:
LaunchReady offers a comprehensive concierge solution that addresses all of these customer pain points. The company’s product is an “industrial concierge service” for space projects, which includes:
- “Concierge service”: test booking, Carnet ATA, transport, insurance, consulting
- Document packages (Zero Debris, ECSS)
- Legal support + financing (ESA BIC, Horizon)
Services
LaunchReady client receives a “one-stop-shop” service – from test planning to delivery and regulatory compliance – instead of having to coordinate multiple contractors or allocate valuable resources to atypical tasks
Space logistics and transportation management
We specialize in highly sensitive and regulated transportation of space components. Our service includes:
- development of individual packaging schemes in accordance with ECSS and ISO standards,
- coordination of transport operations (air, autologistics, specialized containers),
- registration of Carnet ATA, customs declarations and accompanying documentation,
- organization of cargo insurance and, if necessary, security and special escort.
We cooperate with leading 3PL partners, combining their capabilities with our industry expertise to guarantee the safety and timely delivery of each mission element.
Export control and regulatory compliance
Space technologies are subject to strict export control rules – from the EU Dual-Use Regulation 2021/821 to the US ITAR/EAR. LaunchReady provides expert support in:
- equipment classification according to control lists,
- preparation and submission of export license applications in EU countries,
- consultations on cooperation with American and international partners,
- risk management in cross-border deliveries and test campaigns.
We help to avoid delays and penalties, while maintaining the continuity of your mission schedule.
Test organization and coordination
LaunchReady provides full support for the spacecraft testing process in leading European centers – ESA ESTEC (Netherlands), IABG (Germany) and other accredited laboratories.
We undertake:
- preliminary agreement of the calendar and booking of test slots,
- preparation of technical tasks and documents for laboratories,
- communication with center operators and control of compliance with ESA/ECSS requirements.
Thus, the engineering team focuses on the product, and we guarantee uninterrupted access to the necessary tests – from vibration and thermal vacuum to electromagnetic compatibility tests.
Zero Debris Compliance Services
The European initiative “Zero Debris by 2030” sets new rules of the game for NewSpace companies. LaunchReady offers a structured package of services:
- checklists and policy templates for integrating passivation and deorbit principles,
- audit of project compliance with ESA/ECSS standards,
- recommendations for satellite design taking into account post-mission disposal requirements,
- training modules for engineering teams.
We help clients meet new requirements at the design stage, minimizing the risk of revisions and ensuring long-term sustainability of projects.
Grants, acceleration programs and funding
LaunchReady is a leader in the world of European grants and support programs for space innovations. We provide assistance in:
- preparation of applications for ESA BIC, CASSINI Business Accelerator program and Horizon Europe competitions,
- formation of a package of documents according to the requirements of donors and investors,
- adaptation of technical and business arguments to the selection criteria.
The goal is to increase the chances of funding and expand the development opportunities of startups and university teams.
