Infinite Orbits raises €52 million and books four Impulse Space flights through 2029

Infinite Orbits, a Toulouse-based French in-orbit servicing company, announced on Oct. 19, 2026 that it secured €52 million, about $58.4 million, across two financing rounds. The company disclosed the funding alongside an operational order backlog exceeding €150 million. That backlog spans French Space Command, Eutelsat, and SES.

Founded in 2017, the company handles autonomous rendezvous and docking in geostationary orbit, where satellites remain fixed over one point on Earth, to extend satellite life and provide space situational awareness, and specializes in autonomous geostationary-orbit rendezvous and proximity operations. Infinite Orbits booked four firm launch slots through 2029 to use Impulse Space orbital transfer vehicles, spacecraft that move payloads between orbits, on SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets for geostationary servicing missions.

The slots follow a pact signed late last year with SES for Europe’s first commercial mission to extend geostationary satellite life using the Endurance craft.

The startup plans an initial Endurance servicer deployment in late 2027 for commercial telecommunications satellites. Four dedicated Impulse Space orbital transfer vehicle missions will run through 2029 to fulfill customer backlog commitments spanning European defense and commercial communications.

The slots secure orbital delivery for geostationary servicing missions. The 830-kilogram Endurance servicing vehicle connects with commercial satellites, takes over station-keeping maneuvers, small adjustments that keep a satellite in its assigned position, and extends operational lifespans by up to five years without host modifications.

Impulse Space orbital transfer vehicles fly under long-term SpaceX Falcon 9 launch agreements. That arrangement lets Infinite Orbits skip the multi-month electric orbit-raising phase and place its servicers directly into geostationary trajectories.

The SES pact sits within a commercial order book covering major institutional and fleet operators.

Investors in the two equity tranches include the European Innovation Council Fund, Matterwave Ventures, Wind Capital, Balnord, IRDI Capital Investissement, and Newfund Capital. Company leaders described assured launch availability as the main operational hurdle for businesses that service commercial satellites.

Infinite Orbits leadership said assured launch access is the critical operational bottleneck for commercial satellite servicing providers. Chief Executive Officer Adel Haddoud said the four launch slots rank as the company’s most precious asset.

“The four launch slots are the company’s most precious asset,” Haddoud said. Haddoud said firm flight manifests ensure reliable schedule execution for commercial satellite fleet customers. The startup prioritized securing guaranteed launch access amid its capital raise.
