Toulouse-based start-up Infinite Orbits, which specializes in "clean technology in orbit" services, has just completed its first round of financing amounting to 12 million euros.
Faced with the explosion in the number of satellites launched in recent years, Infinite Orbits is developing a vision-based autonomous navigation technology that enables space assets to approach and dock with satellites running out of fuel, thereby extending their lifespan.
The financing round, led by French fund Newfund Capital, with the participation of EIC (the European Innovation Council fund), IRDI Capital Investissement and Space Founders France (the Cnes investment fund), confirms the start-up's position as a major international player in the in-orbit services sector, and in particular enables it to scale up its new project, entitled "Endurance". Scheduled for launch in the second half of 2026, this European satellite will be capable of carrying out space surveillance missions to ensure the sustainability of space equipment such as telecoms satellites.
Jérémie Swiecznik, Partner, and Marguerite Galois-Boyé, Counsel, were involved in this operation.
