HyPrSpace (Hybrid Propulsion for Space) is a rocket startup, founded in 2019, in Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. It develops orbital (Orbital Baguette-1/OB-1, pronounced Obi-wan) and suborbital (Baguette One) launch vehicles and hybrid propulsion systems.
In 2022, the company raised €1.1 million to develop its rocket. In 2024 as part of a consortium (with the companies CT Ingénierie, SpaceDreamS and Telespazio France) it has raises €35 million to develop their launcher Orbital Baguette One (the Le Projet Agile de Développement d'Accès à l'espace 1—PADA1—project), 60 percent of the funding from the French government—as the winner of the France 2030 program supported by the State.
Baguette One is a 7 metres tall, single-stage suborbital rocket, with a payload capacity of 300 kilograms. The first suborbital mission is planned for 2026. Baguette One will launch from DGA Essais de missiles, a missile testing site in mainland France. Orbital Baguette-1 (OB-1) is a 16 metres tall micro-launcher with a payload of 250 kg to 400 km low Earth orbit (LEO).
The hybrid engine uses solid fuels (including HDPE) in combination with a liquid oxidizer and doesn't need a turbo pump. On 11 July 2024, the first hot fire test of its Terminator hybrid rocket engine was completed with success. In December 2024, HyPrSpace announced a successful hot test in the second Terminator testing campaign.
