GRAVITY × UAE — Space Gateway Deck
Gateway for launches & space companies

Connecting UAE & MENA with global launch and space ecosystems

Gravity is a digital platform for space launches, satellites, data and orbital services.
We systematise the market and become a single entry point where agencies, companies and universities from UAE and MENA can both launch payloads and showcase their capabilities to the world.

Short version: “Launch & Company Gateway for MENA” — one digital point to plan missions and to put UAE / MENA space companies on the global map.
UAE, MENA & Africa

Regions without launchers — but with strong ambitions.

UAE and MENA are building ambitious space programmes. Gravity’s role is to make launches and global visibility simple, structured and accessible.

01 · Access to launches is fragmented

Agencies, companies and universities in UAE, MENA and Africa depend on foreign launchers — and on a patchwork of brokers, portals and private contacts.

Planning a mission means weeks of calls, PDFs and negotiations across different countries and providers.

02 · Local companies are hard to see globally

Manufacturers, data providers and integrators from UAE and MENA do not have a single digital window where global customers can discover them.

Each company has to build its own visibility and outreach — while the world still sees mostly US, EU and a few large players.

03 · No neutral digital entry point

There is no simple “start here” interface where a team from UAE can both:

1) select a rocket and plan a mission, and
2) enter a structured catalogue of space companies where UAE and MENA firms are visible as a first-class cohort.

Strategic role

Gravity as a digital gateway and amplifier for UAE & MENA.

We start with very concrete, simple things — and grow step by step together with the region.

How we help with launches

Gravity gives UAE and MENA organisations a structured way to go from idea to launch:

Unified view of rockets — 50+ launchers today, including our first official partner Gravity-1 by Orienspace.
Mission planning tools — basic calculator and comparison by price, performance, orbits and constraints.
One RFQ instead of many emails — we help refine requirements and route them to relevant launch operators.

Our goal is not to replace existing brokers, but to provide a clean starting point where UAE and MENA teams see options clearly and can move faster.

How we help UAE & MENA companies

Gravity is also a place where space companies from UAE and the wider region become visible to the world:

Curated company database — manufacturers, integrators, data providers, ground segment and more.
Founding cohort from UAE & MENA — early companies from the region will be presented as leading partners in the platform.
Global exposure through Gravity Media — analytical pieces, company breakdowns and documentary-style content highlighting Arab space missions and businesses.

We see Gravity as a bridge: UAE and MENA companies get a structured place in the global map — and the world gets a clear view of what the region can do.

Block 1 · Launch missions

From mission idea in UAE to launch slot — in one digital flow.

We focus on a narrow, practical problem first: make it easy to plan and request launches for payloads from UAE, MENA and Africa.

What Gravity provides for launches

Gravity is a launch-planning layer above the market, starting with:

Catalogue of 50+ rockets — light, medium and heavy launchers from different regions, curated with political and export-control constraints in mind.
Structured comparison — more than 20 parameters: price ranges, reliability, performance, orbit types, payload limits and other key factors.
Mission calculator — a simple way to check basic compatibility and understand the field of options in minutes, not months.
Unified RFQ form — one structured request that we help refine and forward to appropriate launch providers, starting with our partner Orienspace.
Technical guidance — at the current stage, we manually validate incoming requests, helping agencies and companies avoid typical mistakes in early planning.

For UAE and MENA, this means: a clear entry point for national agencies, corporates and universities that want to put payloads on orbit — without building their own launch industry.

Block 2 · Companies & ecosystem

Building a global catalogue where UAE & MENA companies lead.

Our second block is a curated database of space companies — where organisations from UAE and MENA can become the first and most visible cohort.

What the companies hub includes

Gravity gradually builds a structured “map” of space capabilities:

Satellite manufacturers & component providers — buses, payloads, constellations and custom missions.
Integrators & turn-key mission teams — from design and analysis to launch and early operations.
Ground segment & connectivity — ground stations, communications, data relay and processing pipelines.
Data & analytics providers — EO data, monitoring services, orbital analytics and domain-specific solutions.
Unified selection & contact layer — filters by task, orbit, region and budget; one interface to discover and connect.

At early stages, placement for companies is free and curated, with a special focus on organisations from UAE, MENA and Africa.

Why this matters for UAE & MENA

For agencies and national programmes:

Visibility of local ecosystem — all key national players presented in one, globally accessible digital layer.

For companies:

Global discovery — Gravity becomes a starting point where international customers search for launch, satellites and data — and where UAE & MENA companies are clearly visible.

For the region as a whole:

Coherent story — Gravity Media helps to build a holistic narrative around Arab space programmes, missions and technologies — in a way that is understandable for global business and institutions.

We are at the beginning of this journey — and this is exactly why early partners from UAE and MENA can shape how the ecosystem looks and works.

Where we are now

Honest status: live curated MVP today, regional hub next.

We are not promising a fully-automated marketplace from day one. Gravity starts as a curated layer and grows step by step, together with partners.

What already works

Today Gravity runs as a live MVP:

Unified database of ~75 rockets — technical and commercial parameters, normalised by our team and aerospace experts.
Basic mission calculator — simple tools to understand compatibility and shortlist options.
Single RFQ form — structured requests that we validate and route to operators, starting with Orienspace.

The backend is intentionally curated at this stage: we manually check, clarify and support requests. This is how we learn real patterns before encoding them into software.

What we are building next

In the context of UAE and MENA, our next steps are:

Regional instance of Gravity — with launches and company profiles relevant for UAE, MENA and Africa.
Companies hub — first cohort of UAE and MENA companies added as foundational partners, with clear categories and filters.
Gravity Media for Arab space — content and analysis that explain regional missions, programmes and companies to a global audience.

We are at the beginning — but the path is clear. Early collaboration with UAE means the platform grows around the real needs of the region, not around abstract slides.

Launch partner

Orienspace × Gravity — supply-side validation.

We already work with a real launch operator and a real rocket — and now we are looking for a strong demand-side partner in UAE & MENA.

What this partnership means

Gravity-1 by Orienspace is the first launcher officially promoted and supported through Gravity.
Gravity provides structured access to upcoming launch opportunities — digital discovery instead of purely manual outreach.
Together we highlight the rise of Chinese commercial space — especially relevant for emerging-space regions that want flexible, competitive options.

For UAE and MENA, this is an opportunity to connect to a growing set of international launchers — with Gravity as a neutral digital entry point and support layer.

Cooperation with UAE & MENA

Step-by-step program, starting small and practical.

We suggest a realistic, phased approach — from a pilot gateway to a full regional ecosystem.

Phased cooperation roadmap

Phase 1 · 3–4 months
Pilot launch gateway for UAE
Status: can start soon
Localised version of Gravity for UAE stakeholders: agencies, universities and companies can explore launch options and submit structured RFQs.
Goal: validate value, collect first requests and adapt tools to local needs.
Phase 2 · ~6 months
Founding cohort of UAE & MENA companies
Placement: free at early stage
Launch of the companies hub with a first wave of organisations from UAE, MENA and Africa. Agencies help curate and recommend key players.
Goal: give the region a clear presence in the global map of space capabilities.
Phase 3 · 6–12 months

Call for partners in UAE & MENA

We are looking for agencies and companies to shape the first MENA cohort.

Gravity is at an early but working stage: the launch side is live, the companies hub is being built, and the media layer is starting to form. This is the right moment to define together how UAE and MENA appear in this ecosystem.

We are especially interested in:

  • Space agencies & national programmes — to co-design the launch gateway and ecosystem map for the region.
  • Space companies from UAE & MENA — manufacturers, integrators, data providers, ground segment.
  • Universities & research centres — with student missions or research payload ideas.

We do not promise instant scale. Instead, we offer a clear, realistic path: start small, learn together on real missions and gradually grow a digital ecosystem that works for the region and is visible to the world.

Next step

Let’s explore how Gravity can serve UAE & MENA.

We would be glad to walk you through the current MVP, our roadmap for the region and concrete cooperation scenarios — from a pilot launch gateway to a broader ecosystem for companies and missions.
