In an unassuming corner of Bavaria, a young startup is quietly developing technology that could redefine how Europe operates in orbit. Starflight Dynamics (SFDY), founded in 2023 and based near Munich, is building “green” water-fueled propulsion systems and orbital manufacturing platforms [1] [2] . This deep-tech venture isn’t chasing the usual commercial space trends. Instead, it targets the strategic high ground: enabling satellites to maneuver actively using non-toxic water propellant, and manufacturing advanced materials in microgravity for next-generation chips [3] [4] .
