EnduroSat Raises $205M to Scale Next Generation Space Fleets
Round co-led by Riot Ventures and Atreides Management funds a new high-volume manufacturing facility in the United States and the EU’s largest space and defense hub, on the way to space data at roughly $1 per gigabyte.
Sofia,16 September 2026 – EnduroSat, a space company building standardized, software-flexible satellites and a streamlined constellations-as-a-service model, has raised $205 million in a round co-led by Riot Ventures and Atreides Management, with backing from the European Innovation Council, Google Ventures, Founders Fund, House Capital, Lux Capital, Omnes Capital, Giant Ventures, Emphatic Capital & Endeavor Catalyst.
The capital will scale EnduroSat’s satellite capabilities – moving to larger spacecraft in its ESPA-class FRAME line while pushing serial standardization further, producing satellites with the repeatability and volume of drones rather than one-off bespoke builds. Central to the raise: opening a new high-volume manufacturing facility in the United States and building the EU’s largest space and defense hub. Re-industrialization of the EU and US has been at the core of EnduroSat’s efforts.
The round is anchored by the company’s ambition – driving the cost of space data down to roughly $1 per gigabyte, from hundreds of dollars per GB today. At that price, entirely new markets open up: small and medium enterprises can afford to build space data into their products and operations, turning space from an exclusive, capital-intensive domain into a profitable layer for virtually any business.
Already on track to become one of the largest satellite manufacturers in the world, EnduroSat has launched 103 satellites to orbit and delivered more than 200 for missions across the globe. The company is betting that standardization and radically cheaper space data will define the next era of the space economy.
