Atlanta’s Reditus Is Ready to Launch Its Reusable Vehicle Into Space This Fall
Atlanta-based startup Reditus Space has completed construction of its reusable reentry vehicle, ENOS. The craft is designed to provide microgravity research opportunities for companies as the International Space Station nears retirement.
Why it matters
As the ISS approaches its 2030 decommissioning, private sector solutions for orbital research are becoming critical for pharmaceutical and semiconductor development.
ATLANTA, July 13 (Hypepotamus) - Late last year, Atlanta-based and Create-X alumni company Reditus Space came out of stealth and closed its $7.1 million seed round to fuel its Microgravity-as-a-service platform.
Now, the startup — under the leadership of CEO Stef Crum — is one step closer to seeing its technology launch into space. This week, Reditus Space announced it has completed the construction of ENOS, its 200-kilogram free-flying reusable reentry vehicle.

ENOS is now en route from Atlanta to California, where it will prepare for its launch later this fall. It will then operate on orbit for two months before reentering Earth’s atmosphere and landing back off the coast of Florida. While orbiting the Earth, ENOS will carry payloads for early-stage companies that need to experiment in microgravity.
