About this report
Beyond Gravity, the renamed Swiss space-systems business formerly part of RUAG, has quietly become a cornerstone of European space infrastructure. Headquartered in Zurich with facilities across Europe and the United States, this government-owned entity specialises in high-value satellite and launcher components.
Its payload fairings, satellite structures and mission electronics now underpin critical European launch programmes (Ariane, Vega) and commercial space ventures.
Key questions this report answers
- What role do Beyond Gravity's payload fairings, satellite structures and mission electronics play in critical European launch programmes such as Ariane and Vega?
