Continuum Space Systems, a Pasadena, CA-based unified space mission management company, raised $3M in Seed funding.
The round, which brought the total amount to $6M, was led by Prophetic Capital Partners with additional participation from existing investors including Mandala Space Ventures, Explorer1 Fund, Freeflow Ventures, and Unlock Venture Partners.
The company intends to use the funds to build out its engineering team, launch new platform features and scale its customer reach.
Led by CEO Marc Fagan, Continuum provides a unified space mission management platform that is based on tools and technologies developed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The solution aims to simplify the mission management process and support the entire mission lifecycle, from mission ideation and design to space operations. Continuum enables customers to launch satellite payloads, space vehicles, and new services by removing the friction that comes with solving deeply complex space engineering problems compounded by outdated and disconnected tools and workflows.
The company serves the space industry by enabling teams to focus on their core competencies and advance the potential of space exploration and commercialization.
The team also includes Dr. Leon Alkalai, and CTO Dr. Loic Chappaz.
