STARTUPS STARTUP Spaceflux The Global Telescope has collected the.1 6.1 million to accelerate the establishment of the network and to increase its AI-powered space situation (SSA) technology.
The round was co-operated by the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund (UKI 2S), operated by Future Planet Capital, in addition to foresight group and Blackfinch Venture. The startup was also received by the Serfem Space Exiler.
Marco RokchetoCEO and co-founder of spaceflux, shared: “Since the space becomes increasingly essential for our economy, environment and daily life, it is becoming more garbage and competition. This investment strengthens our ability to protect satellite technology, which provides important insights on earth, reduces the risk of conflict and supports a safe, more sustainable space environment for future generations.“
Established in 2022, the company has established itself as a strategic supplier of satellite tracking solutions for both government and commercial stakeholders in growing anxiety over orbital protection and debris.
Spaceflux has already secured exclusive agreements with the UK Defense Ministry and the UK Space Agency, since 2021, has become the only supplier of the Geostantry Satellite Tracking for both companies.
Thanks for the combination of short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging-with its land-based optical sensors capable of observing daylight-24/7 coverage of satellite and debris at all orbital layers.
This capacity is significantly extending the traditional tidal night-cable observation windows to allow the more widespread and timely situation insights.
Alex LeeInvestment Director in UKI 2S Defense and Protection, says: “This investment identifies an important step in the combination of defense and space, where dual-use technology is increasing the UK capacity. UK Space Agency and MOD (Defense and Protection Seed-D2S) are supportive of both, we are delighted to lead this round because it highlights the growing importance of elastic, space-based infrastructureThe “
The urgent requirements of this national technology have been clearly proven that one -week disruption on the satellite system can even spend € 8.7 billion in the UK economy. As the world’s orbitals have more intensified, the importance of avoiding specific tracking and conflict increases – especially for infrastructure for navigation, communication, environmental monitoring and protection.
Rubina SinghThe Senior Investment Manager of the Groups Group commented: “While providing strategically important space awareness insights for commercial and national protection requirements, we are all taking an important role in the protection of space resources that depend on satellite.The“
The investment will lead to the expansion of the Global Censor infrastructure owned by SpaceFlax, refining the cortex analytics platform, and increasing service distribution for customers including satellite operators, insurers and public agencies.
Kimberley heyVentures Director to Blackfon, added: “Spaceflux really fascinated our combined experience and skill in space protection. Many people do not understand how our daily life depends on space infrastructure. From navigation and communication to weather forecasts and streaming media, space plays an important role. “
