Our mission is to build for life in space. We are doing this by creating and delivering a comprehensive set of enabling technologies for life to prosper beyond Earth.

Our leadership team

Roles at Zenno

We share a common purpose — to understand the universe.

We share a common purpose — to understand the universe. Space exploration is a necessary and timely step en route to this goal.

We value relentless honesty, grit, deep human connections, and above all, trust. We are a group of people in love with what we do.

The future of space movement

At Zenno, we envision a future where space movement is sustainable, efficient, and autonomous. Our technology will form the backbone of space infrastructure, revolutionizing how spacecraft manoeuvre and interact in orbit.

By reducing the environmental footprint and enabling autonomous operations, we're transforming the way we will explore, live and thrive in space.

2018: May

Filed first patent

First patent filed in NZ for superconducting magnets for space applications.

2018: March

First VC funding round

Pre-seed funding by UniServices, the commercialisation branch of the University of Auckland. This gave us the funding required to secure our IP and test a prototype of our magnet.

2019: March

Built and tested first prototype

Our underlying magnet technology was built, tested and verified by an expert third party. This demonstrated our ability to generate a magnetic field large enough to perform essential maneuvers in space, while keeping within very small power and and size constraints.
