Earth Orbital Data Center
The demand for AI and data processing is growing exponentially, and terrestrial data centres are struggling to keep pace, constrained by land use, energy supply, cooling requirements, and geopolitical concerns. An orbital data centre addresses all: hardware placed in Low-Earth Orbit, powered entirely by solar energy in sun synchronous orbits.

Very Low Earth Orbit
Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) (orbit altitude < 400 km) provides interesting use cases for Earth Observation and SatCom. Air-breathing propulsion technologies are being developed to be able to maintain orbit altitude by VLEO satellites. NLR is interested because of its use cases for Earth Observation, SatCom and national defense.

Liquid Rocket
This project is aimed to continue the work of Kristian Georgiev, a Inholland Space Lab Aquilo intern in the spring of 2026. His excellent BSc. graduation report provides a theoretical basis and a first concept for the liquid rocket engine that, in the future, should fly on an Aquilo rocket.
