Space Park Leicester and Perpetual Atomics partnered with Sidereus Space Dynamics to enhance the UK’s space technology and scientific missions capabilities. The collaboration includes dual Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between Sidereus, Space Park Leicester, and Perpetual Atomics, focusing on rapid prototyping, validation, and deployment of space technologies.
The partnership will support additive manufacturing of space engine components, heat shield innovation, and advanced materials for space applications. UK-based organisations will gain access to Sidereus’ EOS system, a single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle that enables cost-effective testing of mission-critical materials in microgravity and very low Earth orbit.
Sidereus aims to provide flexible access to space, removing reliance on restrictive launch schedules. Perpetual Atomics will focus on advancing radioisotope power technologies and energy systems for deep space missions. The initiative is expected to strengthen the UK’s space engineering and innovation position.
