VXB Aerospace grew out of founder-led work on satellite thruster hardware, begun in a suburban Sydney shed, before the company moved to selling design software itself rather than the propulsion components that work had produced. That shift from building thrusters to building the tools that design them is the pressure behind what it now sells. Its main business line is a generative design software platform for complex aerospace hardware, built around a single product that carries that optimization workflow.
The platform, Prospero, takes a set of mission requirements and produces a tradespace of design options that fold physics simulation, material composition, performance, cost, and manufacturability into a single optimization loop. That collapses design iterations that traditionally took separate engineering passes and months or years of manual trades into one automated cycle, displacing the fragmented simulation-and-spreadsheet workflow it replaces. It targets satellite manufacturers and aerospace and defense primes working on hardware whose design cycles traditionally run to years.
