Gama offers access to deep space using low-cost, reliable and scalable solar sails. While chemical and electric propulsion are complex and limited in range, solar sails fulfils the dream of free and continuous acceleration using the sun's energy. Gama is also developing high performance drag sails to deorbit spacecrafts and allow satellite operators to meet new international regulations and keep space sustainable.
