PTC announced that Reditus Space has chosen its cloud-native Onshape CAD and PDM platform to accelerate the design and production of ENOS Mk1, the company’s first reusable orbital reentry capsule. Scheduled to launch in July 2026 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare, ENOS Mk1 will host commercial payloads in low Earth orbit for approximately eight weeks before returning for recovery and reuse. Reditus initially joined the Onshape Startup Program and leveraged the platform to move rapidly from early concept sketches to flight-ready hardware, cutting design cycle times by an estimated 30% compared with legacy CAD systems.

As Reditus prepares for its full orbital mission, the company transitioned from the Startup Program to PTC’s Onshape Government offering to meet stringent ITAR and EAR requirements without slowing innovation. Onshape Government provides encrypted data hosting, role-based access controls, and audit trails that support secure collaboration among domestic and cleared international partners. PTC highlighted that this move positions Reditus to scale its engineering teams by up to 50% over the next 12 months while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

The Reditus Space win underscores PTC’s strategy to deepen its footprint in the aerospace and defense sector, where customers demand rapid iteration and secure, compliant workflows. With a global workforce of over 7,000 employees and more than 30,000 customers, PTC projects that aerospace bookings will grow by double digits in fiscal 2026. According to PTC management, Onshape Government contracts typically carry annual subscriptions averaging $150,000 per customer, suggesting that the Reditus engagement could contribute north of $1.5 million in recurring revenue over the next three years. This deployment also reinforces PTC’s vision for an Intelligent Product Lifecycle, laying the groundwork for broader AI-driven initiatives across its customer base.
