Lux Aeterna, a Denver, CO-based space infrastructure company which specializes in orbital operations through reentry and reusability, raised $4M in pre-seed funding.
The round was led by Space Capital with participation from Dynamo Ventures, Mission One Capital, Alumni Ventures, Service Provider Capital, and strategic tech angels, including the co-founders of Dive Technologies (acquired by Anduril).
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Led by CEO and Founder Brian Taylor, Lux Aeterna is developing a fully reusable satellite bus, engineered for high reliability and designed to meet emerging demands from the U.S. Department of Defense for responsive space capabilities.
Its first spacecraft, Delphi, via Exolaunch on a rideshare mission with SpaceX.Delphi, will demonstrate an end-to-end mission by hosting an onboard payload, conducting on-orbit tests, then re-entering Earth’s atmosphere to be recovered and refurbished for another flight, making it the first satellite ever to fly twice.
