ESA's Boost! programme has partnered with several innovators in European space transportation including launch service developers targeting the growing small satellite market, Skyrora in the UK.

With Boost! ESA is offering a lean and flexible programmatic framework providing entrepreneurs and their consortia across member states with co-funding and access to ESA’s expertise and facilities – to help them turn concepts into commercial reality. The programme was initiated at Space 19+, the 2019 edition of ESA Member States’ triennial ministerial-level budget- and agenda-setting meeting. Boost! is available to European companies developing launch services or in-orbit transportation and return-from-space capabilities. While building on the benefits of ESA partnership, they retain overall technical and commercial authority and responsibility for the services they are developing.
