Why Scorpius Tanks Are the Missing Link in Space Infrastructure
The global space economy is projected to hit $1 trillion by 2040. Satellites, lunar missions, hypersonic testing, and space manufacturing are expanding rapidly. Yet despite this momentum, there’s a critical bottleneck holding the industry back: cryogenic propellant storage and delivery.
Without scalable cryogenic tanks, reusable rockets, deep-space missions, and even hydrogen energy systems struggle to move forward. Infrastructure simply hasn’t caught up with the demand.
That’s why EXOS Aerospace is raising to acquire Scorpius Space Launch Company.
The World’s Only Type 5 Linerless Composite Cryogenic Tanks
Scorpius has achieved what no one else in the world has: flight-validated, Type 5 linerless composite cryogenic tanks.
Proven: The only commercial composite cryogenic tanks ever to land on the Moon 🌕.
Lightweight: Significantly lighter than metal or lined alternatives, reducing launch mass and cost.
Stronger: Built to withstand extreme space and defense environments.
Scalable: Manufactured using out-of-autoclave, room-temperature curing for lower cost and higher throughput.
These tanks are more than an innovation. They’re the missing infrastructure link for scalable space access.
Why EXOS + Scorpius Matters
EXOS is one of only three FAA-licensed reusable rocket companies in the United States. With four launches already completed, we’ve proven rapid, iterative spaceflight. By acquiring Scorpius, we would be positioned to solve one of the biggest challenges in space infrastructure: reliable, affordable, and scalable propellant storage.
🔑 What this means:
Reusable Launch Vehicles: Lower-cost, higher-frequency suborbital and orbital missions.
Hypersonic Testing: Fast, affordable testing environments for defense and commercial applications.
Lunar & Deep-Space Missions: Lightweight cryogenic storage that makes long-duration missions possible.
Dual-Use Applications: Space, Defense, Energy, Medical
The value of Scorpius’ tanks extends beyond rockets:
Defense: Cryogenic storage solutions for hypersonic and missile systems.
Hydrogen Infrastructure: Enabling the clean energy economy with safe, scalable storage.
Medical Systems: Next-generation cryogenic tanks for biologics and life sciences.
This isn’t future tech—it’s here, validated, and scaling now.
Building Scalable Space Infrastructure
As the space economy expands, infrastructure must evolve with it. Cryogenic propellant storage is the missing link, and Scorpius tanks provide the breakthrough the industry has been waiting for.
With this acquisition, EXOS Aerospace is uniquely positioned to:
✅ Advance reusable rocket technology
✅ Accelerate hypersonic development
✅ Enable the future of space infrastructure and hydrogen systems
