About the company

For nearly four decades, Kayser Space has been operating at the intersection of engineering, science, and space exploration.


Founded in 1986 by Valfredo Zolesi as a private and independent company, Kayser Space is part of the FAE Technology Group and operates as a specialised aerospace system engineering company. Over the years, the company has designed, developed, manufactured, and operated more than 150 payloads across over 100 space missions, supporting some of the most advanced scientific and technological research activities conducted on orbital platforms, including the International Space Station.


From our headquarters in Tuscany, surrounded by Mediterranean woodland, we deliver end-to-end capabilities through a fully integrated infrastructure. Our facilities include laboratories, clean rooms, manufacturing and inspection areas, and a User Support Operation Center dedicated to in-orbit experiment operations.


Kayser Space is not just a supplier of space hardware. We are a long-term partner in mission success, combining engineering excellence, scientific collaboration, and operational experience to turn complex research into reliable space missions.
