The company is one of the market leaders in Europe on the nano-satellite domain.[2][3] ISISpace has supported the launch of 367 satellites on multiple launch vehicles as of October 2019. Some of the launch vehicles that have launched payloads for ISISpace in the past or are scheduled to launch payloads in the future are the PSLV, Vega and Electron rockets. Out of the 104 satellites on the ISRO's record breaking PSLV-C37 mission, 101 were provided by ISISpace.[4] Through Innovative Space Logistics (ISL), its launch services subsidiary, ISISpace also facilitates the launches of small satellites by contracting piggyback launch opportunities to low Earth orbit on a variety of different launch vehicles.[1][5][3] The company focuses on a CubeSat bus design in the range of 1 to 30 kg.
