About SpaceDreamS

As a launch base architect, Spacedreams develops turnkey solutions and services for launchers and spaceports.
The main concepts are: NuPad, a multi-launcher mobile modular concept for launch pads and engine test benches; the TwinPad, the first digital twin of an interoperable launch system, and the SeaPad, a turnkey offshore launch base.
The NuPad is the world’s first interoperable launch pad for which several launch service providers have committed to launch. The NuPad will be implemented in various launch bases around the world, to create the first network of standardized spaceports-as-a-service.
The NuPad concept can also be applied to test benches. Spacedreams works for several clients for such products, for small up to super heavy launchers.
The TwinPad is the digital twin of the launch system on ground. It enables virtual commissioning and software development for launch vehicle and launch pad implementation, as well as simulation of cryogenic fluid, electrical and mechanical processes.
The SeaPad is a comprehensive maritime launch base, hosting the NuPad. This is the first full
operational launch base developed as a product and sold to several nations and agencies.
SpaceDreamS studies and develops ground facilities for several mini and micro launchers, as well as
for major institutions.
Spacedreams is a group formed by Spacedreams SAS and SudProjet a mechanical factory in
