SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22, 2026 - Infinite Orbits, a rapidly growing firm poised to redefine space logistics, today announced the successful closure of a $40 million Series A funding round. Led by Seraphim Space, a venture capital firm specializing in space technology, the round also saw significant participation from Promus Ventures and a continuation of investment from Infinite Orbits' existing backers. This injection of capital marks a pivotal moment for the company and signals a growing confidence in the burgeoning in-space servicing, refueling, and disposal (ISSRU) market.

Founded in 2023, Infinite Orbits is building a comprehensive platform designed to bridge the gap between satellite operators - the owners of the increasingly vast constellations orbiting Earth - and the service providers who offer critical lifecycle management. Currently, coordinating services like relocation, repair, refueling, and ultimately, responsible deorbiting, is a fragmented and complex process. Satellite operators often spend significant time and resources identifying, vetting, and contracting with various specialized companies. Infinite Orbits aims to streamline this process, creating a centralized marketplace that increases efficiency, reduces costs, and promotes sustainability in space.

"The satellite industry is undergoing massive change," explains Michael Manente, CEO of Infinite Orbits. "We're seeing a proliferation of new constellations - think Starlink, Kuiper, and numerous smaller players - coupled with rapidly evolving satellite capabilities. This creates a parallel demand for more flexible and sustainable ways to manage these assets throughout their operational lifespan. Our platform is designed to be that connective tissue, enabling operators to easily find and procure the services they need, fostering innovation, and lowering the barrier to entry for new space ventures."

The need for such a platform is becoming increasingly acute. The number of satellites in orbit is exploding, leading to heightened concerns about space debris and the long-term sustainability of space operations. Traditional end-of-life disposal methods - allowing satellites to burn up in the atmosphere - are becoming increasingly problematic due to the sheer volume of objects and the potential for atmospheric pollution. Actively removing defunct satellites and extending the lifespan of operational ones through refueling and repair are crucial for mitigating these risks and ensuring continued access to space-based services.

Alessandro Cardaci, Managing Partner at Seraphim Space, elaborated on their investment decision. "We're excited to support Infinite Orbits' vision for a more connected and efficient space ecosystem. The lack of a standardized marketplace for in-space services has been a significant bottleneck for growth. Their platform has the potential to revolutionize how satellite operators manage their assets and access critical services, fundamentally changing the economics of space operations."

The $40 million in Series A funding will be allocated to several key areas. A significant portion will be dedicated to the further development of Infinite Orbits' core technology, enhancing the platform's functionality, and ensuring seamless integration with various satellite systems and service provider offerings. This includes expanding the platform's AI-powered matching capabilities to optimize service procurement based on operator needs, budget, and sustainability goals. Infrastructure development is also a priority, involving the establishment of secure data pipelines and robust cybersecurity protocols to protect sensitive satellite data.

Furthermore, Infinite Orbits intends to expand its team, bringing on board experienced engineers, software developers, and space logistics specialists. The company is also actively pursuing partnerships with leading ISSRU service providers to onboard their offerings onto the platform, creating a comprehensive and diverse marketplace. This includes companies specializing in robotic servicing, on-orbit manufacturing, and advanced propulsion systems.

The potential impact of Infinite Orbits extends beyond simply streamlining logistics. By lowering the cost of satellite lifecycle management, the platform could unlock new business models and incentivize greater investment in space infrastructure. This, in turn, could accelerate the development of innovative space-based applications, ranging from improved global connectivity to enhanced Earth observation and disaster monitoring.

The investment in Infinite Orbits underscores a growing trend in the space industry: a shift from focusing solely on launching satellites to managing them effectively throughout their entire lifecycle. The future of space is not just about getting to orbit, it's about staying in orbit - responsibly and sustainably - and Infinite Orbits appears well-positioned to play a leading role in that future.
