What goes up must come down - but in Europe, nothing comes back from space. That’s the problem Sebastian Klaus, co-founder & CEO of Atmos Space Cargo, set out to solve.

After a career that spanned aerospace engineering, special forces missions, and a commercial pilot’s license, Sebastian is now leading a team building reentry capsules with inflatable heat shields - a technology that sounds like sci-fi but is already flying.

Atmos aims to return anything from orbit: biomedicine experiments, 3D-printed tissues, semiconductors, quantum materials , even strategic supplies. With a successful first flight under their belt, they’re positioning themselves as Europe’s answer to Dragon and Starship, but with a lighter, modular approach.

In this episode, we cover:🛰️ Why Europe’s lack of reusable spacecraft is a strategic weakness🔥 How inflatable heat shields could reshape reentry tech🌍 Civil applications: biomedicine, semiconductors, materials made in orbit⚔️ Dual-use vision: from rapid relief to rapid defense💡 The future: daily launches, in-space industry, and orbital data centers
