Our next-gen satellites carry 10x more Bluetooth-detecting antennas, and each can track 10M+ devices. The first two are expected to launch next year as we grow from six satellites to 60.

We're proud to deliver the Pegasus LTV for @NASA in support of a Moon Base.
Moon Joy(rides), anyone?
NASA has selected @Astrolab_Space and @LunarOutpostInc to provide the first fleet of lunar terrain vehicles that will help @NASAArtemis astronauts explore the Moon.
Built for the rugged terrain of the lunar South Pole, these next-generation rovers will help crews travel farther, explore longer, and help lay the groundwork for humanity's first Moon Base.

Humanoids aren't ready to build our homes. The problem isn't the robots, it's the data.
Humanoids need millions of hours of real-world construction data. That data doesn't exist yet.
But Cuby is building that data through our systems so robots can one day learn to build homes.

“Axiom Space is delivering the most advanced spacesuit ever built for human lunar exploration — and we’re doing it with the urgency the Artemis campaign demands. To date, we’ve logged more than 950 hours of crewed pressurized testing, completed the first thermal vacuum test of the pressure garment, and delivered over 1,300 products toward critical design review, which we’re on track to complete this year. We remain confident in our path to a 2027 demonstration and to supporting America’s return to the lunar surface in 2028.
We appreciate the OIG’s continued focus on strengthening NASA’s long-term approach to human spaceflight, and we share its commitment to mission success. It is a privilege to rebuild a sovereign U.S. spacesuit capability — one the nation has not updated for low-Earth orbit or lunar exploration in decades — and we are honored to do this work in partnership with NASA, as America prepares to return to the Moon.” - Dr. Jonathan Cirtain CEO and President #AxEMU
Very much appreciate the OIG work. As I posted months ago, NASA is not taking a passive role in any component of America’s return to the lunar surface and building a Moon base. We are reviewing where NASA can do better, how we can provide relief where appropriate to burdensome requirements, where we can expand capabilities over time (Apollo 11’s EVA profile was very different than Apollo 17), and where we can help industry by inserting NASA SMEs and driving the intended outcomes. I am confident that when NASA is ready to land on the Moon in 2028, our astronauts will be wearing Axiom suits.
There will always be lessons learned as we improve across NASA and industry, and we need to be mindful of the contracting approach to stimulate a market versus jumping to an as-a-service model where NASA may be the only customer for the foreseeable future. That places a significant capital burden on providers while they wait for additional demand to materialize. A successful approach for commercial crew and cargo, underpinned by launch, does not mean it is applicable to every space-related service. The orbital and lunar economy is inevitable. We just need to be thoughtful in our approach to sustainably enable it.

1/4 We led @GraviticsInc $20M seed in 2022 when everyone was chasing small sats and launchers. @SpaceNews_Inc just reported they're targeting 2027 for their first orbital carrier flight demo — $60M Space Force STRATFI in hand. Three years from seed to national security infrastructure. 🧵

Axiom Space has raised $350 million in a financing round to advance its commercial space station and next-generation spacesuits for NASA’s Artemis lunar missions. The round, co-led by Qatar Investment Authority and Type One Ventures, also saw participation from investors including 1789 Capital, 4iG, LuminArx Capital, and company founder and Executive Chairman Kam Ghaffarian. CEO Jonathan Cirtain, appointed in October 2025, confirmed the company remains on track to deliver the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit spacesuits for upcoming Artemis missions, as Axiom positions itself to build the successor to the International Space Station.
FOUNDER: Kam Ghaffarian
INVESTORS: Qatar Investment Authority, Type One Ventures, 1789 Capital, 4iG, LuminArx Capital Management & Kam Ghaffarian
AMOUNT: $350,000,000
HQ: Houston, Texas

Haven't been posting much about new investments lately, as I've been heads-down in-house at @Axiom_Space leading capital formation. Yesterday, we announced $350 million in new financing to build humanity's next home off Earth 🧑🚀
With a little help from my friends @TypeOneVC @TarekWaked @AbdoJohnHajj @QIA_QA @RealOmeedMalik @thechrisbuskirk @1789Capital @4iGSDT @LuminarxCap
Today we are excited to announce that Axiom Space has secured $350M in financing to accelerate the development of #AxiomStation – ensuring continuous U.S. human presence in low-Earth orbit post-ISS – and to deliver the #AxEMU spacesuit that will return humans to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years. #TranscendEarth

There's a lot of follow-on capital out there, but very few investors with the capability and conviction to be the first to write a large check into a new round.
I can say firsthand that @TarekWaked @AbdoJohnHajj and @TypeOneVC are the latter.
Very grateful for their partnership and trust.
It is an immense privilege, learning experience, and honor to be part of @Axiom_Space board of directors alongside Kam Ghaffarian and @AbdoJohnHajj. Today we are excited to announce the close of a $350M round that takes this company to the next level, literally.
This round, co-led by @TypeOneVC and Qatar Investment Authority, with strategic participation from global investors like 1789 Capital underscores the critical role commercial infrastructure plays in advancing humanity’s reach into space.
This is key infrastructure that will help humanity become a Type One Civilization.
For the United States, its allies, and the broader space ecosystem, building a successor to the International Space Station and next-generation spacesuits isn’t just an engineering milestone, it’s a strategic imperative that strengthens American leadership in low-Earth orbit and accelerates innovation across science, manufacturing, and exploration.
Pushing the frontier of human spaceflight and orbital infrastructure is essential to our collective progress, and investments like this lay the foundation for decades of discovery, economic growth, and global collaboration.
Huge congrats to the team at Axiom on this next leap forward!
Ad Astra my friends.

Homes don’t have to be pricey or wasteful. @buildwithcuby is scaling “affordable luxury” homes for the masses by rolling out more than 275 Mobile Micro-Factories nationwide. Same craftsmanship, zero bloat—so families can finally afford the quality they deserve.
Phase I well underway: infrastructure for homebuilding without skilled labor.
Couldn’t be prouder of this crew. Let’s make history, @AGampel1 @AKandrashou

@TypeOneVC has long championed the potential of in-space manufacturing. This programme marks an important first step for the UK, in what we hope will become a more ambitious and sustained effort to harness the unique conditions of space for advanced materials and pharmaceutical development.
We are proud to see two of our portfolio companies selected for this programme. While we may be slightly biased, we are confident that Space Forge and BioOrbit will be key drivers in shaping this market; not just in the UK and Europe, but globally!
UKSA awarded contracts to @Space_Forge, OrbiSky, and @BioOrbitSpace worth a combined $1.1M+ to advance in-orbit manufacturing.

The strategic value of cross-industry expertise, shared competences and their role in driving innovation in space technology was at the heart of the panel hosted by Prada and Axiom Space during The Final Frontier – Venice, an event by Type One.
Together with Catie Hague VP of Communications Axiom Space, Russell Ralston, Executive Vice President of Axiom Space and Italian Astronaut Walter Villadei, Lorenzo Bertelli shared how over twenty years of investment in R&D with Luna Rossa Team - racing for the America’s Cup - laid the groundwork for Prada’s leap into this exciting new chapter.
“Many brands talk about innovation. We practice and live it. We are likely the only company in our industry to have consistently pursued a non-fashion, high-performance R&D pathway like sailing. All these capabilities proved critical in the development of the AxEMU suit. We didn’t start from scratch, we leveraged a robust and distinctive technological foundation” Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group CMO & Head of CSR.
