Protect your assets in orbit

IBEX, protecting European assets

Counterspace threats are increasing, and the assets holding up everyday life of European nations are exposed. Most still follow predictable paths that adversaries can track, disrupt or attack. IBEX is here to change that.

IBEX is a highly manoeuvrable, payload-agnostic platform designed to carry the right effector for each mission: from threat characterisation and co-orbital denial, standing beside a protected asset like a bodyguard, to jamming, dazzling, capturing or neutralising a hostile spacecraft.

Maps the signals around the asset: who is listening, who is jamming.

Built to respond in hours

Its Reaction Control System, shared with our kick-stage LYOBA, runs on storable propellant, so IBEX can wait on station for years and still manoeuvre within hours. It can perform repeated orbit changes and sustained proximity operations without running dry.

Sovereign co-orbital capacity, on any orbit

IBEX is designed and integrated in Europe, and built to fly on a wide range of sovereign European launchers, both those flying today and those still coming. It can fly solo, or be produced at rate to fly as a constellation across every orbit.

IBEX + LYOBA: End-to-end in-space mobility

IBEX is compatible with our heavy kick-stage LYOBA. The pair can launch to LEO on a partner operator, and reach MEO, GEO or trans-lunar orbits in under 24 hours. Together, they form a single, end-to-end in-space mobility service: LYOBA delivers, IBEX protects.
