PTC Onshape Helps Reditus Space Accelerate Reusable Reentry Capsule

PTC Inc. PTC recently announced that Reditus Space, a manufacturing company focused on delivering sustainable and scalable microgravity access as a service, has selected PTC’s cloud-native Onshape computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform to support the development of its reusable spacecraft and associated hardware.

Reditus Space is preparing for the launch of ENOS Mk1, its first reusable satellite, which is scheduled to lift off in July 2026 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission. The ENOS Mk1 mission will deploy a reusable spacecraft into low Earth orbit, host commercial payloads, remain in orbit for approximately eight weeks and then return safely to Earth for recovery and reuse.

Reditus was initially introduced to PTC through the Onshape Startup Program and used the platform to quickly progress from early concepts to flight-ready designs. As the company advanced toward its first full orbital mission, it transitioned to Onshape Government to meet ITAR and EAR compliance requirements while maintaining speed and agility.

Management highlighted that Reditus Space is redefining how aerospace teams approach orbital logistics and manufacturing. PTC emphasized that its rapid progression from concept to launch-ready hardware highlights the strategic advantage of cloud-native tools, which enable secure collaboration, rapid iteration and regulatory compliance within a single platform.
