SpinLaunch, a pioneer of disruptive space solutions, announced a $12M strategic investment from Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace, unveiling Meridian Space, an ultra-high-performance, low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband constellation. The constellation can uniquely provide global coverage with only one traditional rocket launch, deploying 250 next-generation microsatellites that leverage a proprietary suite of groundbreaking technologies.
“SpinLaunch was founded on a bold commitment to deliver a more sustainable, cost-effective approach to launching satellite constellations – a vision that logically involved considering our global network from the outset,” said David Wrenn, CEO of SpinLaunch. “Starting in 2020, we accelerated that vision and ramped up development of the constellation, and we are now excited to officially bring our low-cost, dynamic communications service to enterprise customers worldwide.”
The company is proud to announce that Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace (KDA) a global leader in the defense and aerospace sectors has made a $12 million investment to support the development and commercialization of the constellation. This partnership underscores both organizations’ commitment to delivering affordable and sustainable space services worldwide.
