About this report
In the new race for space autonomy, a French startup is promising to reshape Europe’s access to orbit. Latitude, founded in 2019 in Reims, has emerged as a leading contender in Europe’s “NewSpace” sector by developing Zephyr , a compact orbital microlauncher built entirely in France.
With Zephyr, Latitude aims to offer dedicated launch services for small satellites, freeing European customers from reliance on foreign rockets. “Whoever controls space, controls the future,” as EU officials have noted, underlining why sovereign access to space is vital for Europe’s strategic autonomy.
