Zenno is building for life in space

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.

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.
