We were honored to welcome a distinguished delegation from the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFRT), led by former German astronaut Dr. Thomas Reiter, alongside a representative from the German Embassy in Washington D.C. to our Dcubed USA facilities in Berthoud, Colorado.
The delegation was hosted by our CEO and Founder, Dr. Thomas Sinn, together with our U.S. Managing Director Daniel Gillies and the entire Dcubed USA team. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase how Dcubed is actively building a bridge between the German and US space ecosystems—combining engineering excellence, entrepreneurial speed, and a shared vision for the future of space infrastructure.
During the visit, we demonstrated how our teams operate under a fast-iteration approach, rapidly developing, testing, and scaling technologies that are critical for the next generation of space systems. We also showcased our portfolio of COTS release actuators and solar arrays, highlighting how these products form the foundation of our growth. With more than 140 customers worldwide, we are increasingly moving toward deeper vertical integration—working closely with our partners to deliver not just components, but complete, mission-enabling systems.
This approach is a cornerstone of our ambition to become a leading power provider in space—delivering advanced solutions for power generation, distribution, and ultimately power beaming.
A key highlight was the presentation of ongoing work at our Colorado site, where the integration of the power generation and power beaming payload for the ARAQYS-D3 mission will take place. This mission represents an important step toward enabling scalable energy infrastructure in orbit, supporting future applications ranging from satellite operations to in-space manufacturing.
The visit also underscored the strategic importance of close collaboration between Germany and the United States. At Dcubed, we are proud to combine the best of both worlds—leveraging German engineering heritage with the speed and market dynamics of the U.S. space sector. This transatlantic approach is central to our growth and to advancing space technologies on a global scale.
Reflecting on the visit, Dr. Thomas Sinn emphasized its significance:
“This visit underscores the strategic relevance of our work across Germany and the United States. Being recognized by the ministry delegation at our Dcubed USA site reinforces our position within the transatlantic space ecosystem. I am excited to further expand this collaboration as we continue building the infrastructure for space.”
We sincerely thank Dr. Reiter and the entire delegation for their visit and the inspiring exchange. We look forward to deepening this collaboration and continuing to contribute to a strong and innovative transatlantic space partnership.
