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.

What happens after a #SpaceX rocket drops off its payload?
@Forbes Reporter @John__Hyatt went inside SC funded @GoToImpulse’s LA factory to see how CEO Tom Mueller (@lrocket) is solving the trillion-dollar space economy's biggest bottleneck: the last mile. From precision maneuvering to rapid orbital transfers, Impulse is building the vehicles and infrastructure that enable spacecraft to reach the right orbit, at the right time, for the right mission.
As Space Capital’s @chadsonofchad notes, “The companies that win the mobility layer are positioned to capture disproportionate value in the space economy, because they will own the rails that everyone else has to ride on.”

Emerging Industries are taking shape, and the capital tells the story.
Stations leads total funding at $3.8 billion since 2009, followed by Logistics at $3.1 billion, and Industrials and Lunar each at $1.5 billion. Logistics is closing the gap rapidly and may overtake Stations in the near term. The leading sectors within these industries are Habitats ($3.4 billion), On-Orbit Servicing ($1.8 billion), Manufacturing and Assembly ($0.9 billion), and Transport ($0.6 billion).
Top funded companies include @vast and @Axiom_Space in Stations, @GoToImpulse and @The_TrueAnomaly in Logistics, @VardaSpace and @AntaresNuclear in Industrials, and @Int_Machines and @ispace_inc in Lunar.

The era of sovereign intelligence from space has arrived.
Space Capital family company @iceye_global has raised $520 million in a primary Series F funding round, at a valuation of over $12 billion, as demand for sovereign space-based intelligence continues to accelerate worldwide.
Production is set to double from 50 satellites per year today to a target of 100 annually by 2028 and beyond, supported by a matching launch cadence.

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
