Investment & Fund Management

Morpheus Space, a company based in Dresden, Germany, is addressing significant challenges in the space industry by developing an all-in-one satellite mobility platform. The niche issue they faced was the inflexibility of existing satellite constellations, which are often planned years in advance and lack the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances on Earth. This rigidity can lead to inefficiencies and increased risks, such as satellite collisions and the accumulation of space debris.

To tackle these challenges, Morpheus Space has created automated mobility solutions that allow satellites to rearrange their constellations dynamically, even after deployment. This innovative technology not only enhances operational flexibility but also contributes to the reduction of space debris, a critical concern for the sustainability of space activities.

The tailored solution provided by Morpheus Space was bolstered by an equity investment from VSquared, a venture capital firm supported by the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the EU. This funding enabled the company to finalize its hardware product development and initiate software development, facilitating its expansion into the US market. As a result of these efforts, Morpheus Space is now positioned to scale its production capacity, aiming to mass-produce its hardware and democratize access to space by making it more user-friendly. The company currently employs over 50 people and has established a customer base across Europe and North America, marking a significant step forward in the evolution of satellite mobility.
