Nyx Earth

Mission Profile

Nyx Earth is a commercial cargo spacecraft under development by The Exploration Company, a European startup, designed to resupply the International Space Station under ESA's cargo logistics program. Planned to launch on Ariane 6, Nyx Earth is a reusable, autonomous vehicle featuring a compact pressurized cargo section and designed to berth with the ISS using the NASA Common Berthing Mechanism. First flight was targeted for around 2026, with Nyx Earth representing Europe's first domestically developed commercial ISS cargo capability to reduce dependence on US and Russian resupply vehicles.
