In 2012, we founded Space Capital on a simple conviction: space technologies would become the invisible backbone of the global economy.
For over a decade, we've been investing at this inflection.
Today we're announcing Space Capital IV.

Congratulations to SC funded SpaceX on its historic public debut.
Few companies have reshaped a category as profoundly as SpaceX. What began as an ambitious vision to lower the cost of access to space has become the catalyst for an entirely new era of innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship.
As Space Capital Founder & CEO @chadsonofchad noted on @Bloomberg:
“We've been operating in space for decades, but it's only recently become a category for investment and entrepreneurship, and all of that comes on the heels of SpaceX. Without SpaceX, we're not having this conversation.”
Since 2012, we've had the privilege of witnessing, and investing in, the growth of the space economy from its earliest days. We've long believed that lower launch costs, increased access to orbit, and the infrastructure enabled by SpaceX would unlock entirely new markets and opportunities.
Today marks an important milestone not just for one company, but for the entire space economy.
Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team. We're excited to see what comes next.

GPS was built in the 1970s for military navigation. It now carries trillions in economic value it was never designed for, and enterprises spend $20B a year working around its limits.
@XonaSpace is building the next generation from LEO: signals up to 100x stronger, centimeter accuracy, no ground correction networks. $170M Series C closed in March.

Consolidation in the space economy is intensifying, and it's happening on two fronts.
Category leaders are acquiring to broaden offerings and secure top talent. Mid-market companies with differentiated positioning are being absorbed through PE-driven consolidation.
Q1 saw $7 billion across 26 deals – a strong start to the year.

“We are in the early innings of a multi-decade infrastructure cycle. There are hundreds of billions of legacy systems on-orbit today that are being replaced and we're building out an entirely new layer. SpaceX is at the center of this and they own the rails.”
@chadsonofchad joined Romaine Bostick and Isabelle Lee on @Bloomberg’s “The Close” to discuss what’s next for the space economy, from the SpaceX IPO conversation to the growing convergence of AI, orbital infrastructure, and global markets: bloom.bg/4tTz0Db

Artemis Astronauts, meet your new ride: Pegasus.
@NASA has selected Lunar Outpost's Pegasus for a High Achievability Mission task order under its Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services (LTVS) contract, marking the first human-rated mobility on the Moon since Apollo. This award confirms Lunar Outpost’s leading role as the next generation mobility and infrastructure provider to advance permanent lunar operations.
The Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV provides critical surface mobility for Astronauts operating at the Moon’s South Pole, expanding how far and long crews can traverse and operate on the lunar surface. Pegasus is designed to support a range of mission profiles, including site exploration, foundational science operations, resource prospecting, and surface site preparation as NASA lays the groundwork for a permanent human presence on the Moon by 2030.
The development of Pegasus was led by Lunar Outpost, in partnership with collaborators @GM, @goodyear, and @LeidosInc. The team combines proven heritage with decades of experience in advanced engineering, automotive industrialization, and human spaceflight.

The AI infrastructure race is rapidly moving beyond traditional hyperscale data centers.
SC funded @armada_ai announced a $230M Series B last week and a manufacturing partnership with Johnson Controls to build a new 400,000 sq. ft. Arizona facility dedicated to modular AI infrastructure.
As AI demand accelerates globally, the bottleneck is increasingly shifting toward power, deployment speed, and infrastructure access. Learn how Armada is defining the next phase of the market in the full announcement on @CNBC: bit.ly/4tMC0Bo

New Lunar Terrain Vehicle Unlocked 🔓
Introducing the Lunar Outpost Pegasus LTV — purpose-built to provide Astronauts with safe, highly achievable mobility to lay the foundation for a permanent Moon Base. Pegasus is named after the winged horse of Greek mythology, a symbol associated with reach, capability, and prosperity; it is the trusted steed that will enable Artemis missions to go farther, operate longer, and explore more boldly than ever before.
Designed to operate for at least one year on the Moon and traverse over 900 kilometers—100x the distance the Apollo-era LRV covered across all missions—Pegasus is ready to drive Artemis toward a Moon Base.

In 2019, SpaceX launched 26 times. Once every two weeks.
In 2025, they launched more rockets than every other space agency and company in the world combined, averaging one launch nearly every two days. The Falcon 9 family has now flown nearly 700 times with a 99.5% success rate.
Capital alone doesn't build great companies. Conviction, velocity, and a relentless focus on the mission do.
