The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
Led by CEO Ryan Westerdahl, Turion Space specializes in non-earth imaging, space debris removal, and satellite servicing solutions. The company develops autonomous spacecraft designed to provide high resolution space domain awareness capabilities, deorbit defunct satellites, perform in-orbit inspections, and repair essential assets.
With plans to produce 45 satellites annually by 2027, including the upcoming launch of their Droid Alpha satellite in early 2025, Turion enhanced mobility satellites offer advanced in-orbit capabilities for non-earth imaging, satellite servicing, and debris removal.
The Droid.001 is currently operational with flight heritage, capturing non-earth images for government and commercial clients. These satellites, in 2024 alone, will have accomplished over 100 imaging missions. The capital raised in this round will be used to expand Turion’s satellite fleet as they prepare to launch their Droid.002, a larger satellite with enhanced imaging capabilities, and the further development of autonomous docking and maneuvering systems that can deorbit defunct satellites and perform in-orbit repairs and inspections.
