ENPULSION Acquires Lift Me Off Ltd

Expanding Into Chemical Propulsion and Strengthening Europe's Spacecraft Mobility Capabilities

Vienna, Austria / Reading, UK — August 2026

ENPULSION Holding AG ("ENPULSION"), Europe's leading industrial manufacturer of spacecraft propulsion systems, today announced the successful acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Lift Me Off Ltd ("LMO"), a UK-based chemical propulsion and tank design company with deep heritage in European Space Agency (ESA) missions.

A Strategic Step Toward the Spacecraft Mobility Backbone

The acquisition of LMO marks a decisive step in ENPULSION's transformation from a world-class electric propulsion component supplier into the category-defining spacecraft mobility backbone company. With this transaction, ENPULSION adds chemical propulsion design capabilities, propellant tank technology, and ESA mission heritage to its growing portfolio of pre-qualified building blocks: the modular, scalable architecture that enables spacecraft to move, orient, and adapt across missions.

Alexander Reissner, CEO of ENPULSION, commented:

"This acquisition signals our commitment to building the complete spacecraft mobility backbone. LMO brings institutional design credentials, a talented team, and a complementary technology base in chemical propulsion and tank systems. Combined with our industrialized electric propulsion, ADCS capabilities, and the Cortex integration layer, we are assembling the pre-qualified building blocks that will allow customers to configure their entire mobility architecture from a single, proven partner, without re-engineering from scratch."

Shaun Dormon, Managing Director of Lift Me Off Ltd, added:

"This joining of forces is a natural fit for both companies built on similar, but technologically distinct, visions of readily accessible in-space mobility through modular and mission-adaptable solutions. By combining ENPULSION's established scale, capabilities, and resources with LMO's unique take on chemical propulsion system integration and enabling technologies, we can together bring forth a blend of highly efficient and agile in-space manoeuvring with minimal mission integration complexity. We at LMO look forward to continuing our current LEO and lunar mission activities whilst leveraging these technologies into the next generation of ENPULSION's modular and scalable propulsion architecture."

Transaction Highlights

Target: Lift Me Off Ltd, incorporated in England and Wales, with operations at the Harwell Space Cluster and Reading, UK

Seller: LiftOff Space SARL (Luxembourg)

Scope: Acquisition of 100% of LMO's issued share capital

Regulatory Approval: Clearance under the UK National Security and Investment Act (NSIA 2021) was obtained prior to completion of the transaction.

Transition: LMO co-founders Michel Poucet and Marcos Perez are supporting the integration process to ensure continuity of ongoing programmes and customer relationships.

Strategic Rationale

1. Extending the Mobility Portfolio into Chemical Propulsion

LMO's expertise in chemical and cold-gas systems, propellant tanks, and pointing mechanisms complements ENPULSION's market-leading electric propulsion systems. Together, they enable hybrid propulsion backbone configurations, combining electric and chemical building blocks to serve missions requiring flexible delta-V across multiple phases.

2. Establishing a UK Presence in a Critical Space Market

The UK is one of Europe's fastest-growing space economies. LMO's established position and relationships within the UK space ecosystem, including proximity to ESA's European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT) and the Harwell Space Cluster, provide ENPULSION with a strategic foothold for business development, customer proximity, and access to national programmes.

3. Adding Institutional Mission Heritage

LMO's track record of ESA programme participation adds proven design credentials to ENPULSION's industrialized production heritage. The combination of design credibility and serial manufacturing capability directly addresses the market's core demand: dependable, qualified spacecraft mobility delivered at industrial scale.

4. Accelerating the Backbone Architecture

The acquisition accelerates ENPULSION's ability to offer pre-qualified chemical propulsion building blocks within the Cortex-enabled spacecraft mobility backbone, reducing time-to-market for hybrid mobility configurations by leveraging LMO's existing development work and mission heritage.
