\"SpinLaunch<\/p>\n

SpinLaunch<\/strong>, a pioneer of disruptive space solutions, announced it has closed $30 million in funding to accelerate the development and commercialization of Meridian Space<\/strong>, its highly differentiated low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband constellation. The funding includes new investment from existing investors, including lead investor ATW Partners, as well as the previously announced strategic investment from Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just building momentum – we\u2019re earning trust,\u201d <\/strong>said <\/strong><\/em>Massimiliano Ladovaz<\/strong><\/em>, CEO of SpinLaunch<\/strong>. \u201cFrom technical milestones to collaboration with early adopters, the continued backing of insiders and partners like <\/em>Kongsberg<\/em> underscores the credibility of our approach and the progress we\u2019ve made.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With this latest capital infusion, SpinLaunch is advancing toward its first customer link in the second half of 2026 and accelerating go-to-market efforts. Early commercial traction signals growing demand for a cost-efficient LEO satcom system with open architecture – purpose-built to deliver flexibility, seamless integration, and long-term value for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chose to partner with <\/em>SpinLaunch<\/em> because we saw a bold vision backed by a uniquely capable team,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>Eirik Lie<\/strong><\/em>, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace<\/strong>. \u201cThis investment reflects our shared belief in their ability to deliver a new model for satellite communications through the <\/em>Meridian Space<\/em> constellation. SpinLaunch is building a platform with global relevance – and we\u2019re proud to support them as they move from technical validation to commercial momentum.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As part of this next phase, SpinLaunch has completed full-scale testing of its proprietary multi-band reflectarray antenna, a key breakthrough enabling the constellation\u2019s ultra-low capex design. Unlike conventional satellite antennas, which can be bulky, power-hungry, or prohibitively expensive, SpinLaunch\u2019s reconfigurable reflectarray antenna offers a compact, energy-efficient, and scalable solution built for next-generation LEO networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cValidating our reconfigurable reflectarray antenna through full-scale testing confirms we can deliver multi-band capability without the cost and complexity of traditional designs,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>David Wrenn<\/strong><\/em>, Chief Innovation Officer at SpinLaunch<\/strong>. \u201cThis is a critical step toward the development of the <\/em>Meridian Space<\/em> constellation and achieving both our technical and operational objectives.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
