Muon Space Secures $56M Series B Funding, Surpasses $100M In Customer Contracts In 2024 Including Landmark Agreement With Snc

In a testament to its rapidly growing traction in the space technology sector, Muon Space has now secured over $100 million in committed customer contracts in 2024 for its Halo LEO satellites. A key highlight of these contracts is a landmark agreement with SNC for the development and delivery of three next-generation satellites to further SNC's Vindlér commercial RF technology. The first Muon satellite block is slated for launch in 2025.SNC's Vindlér constellation delivers industry-leading RF collection and analytics functionality. The additional satellites will significantly enhance the ability to simultaneously collect multiple signals of interest over an unprecedented range of the RF spectrum. This will also increase total downlink volumes, thereby transforming current commercial possibilities and supporting an expanding array of mission sets."SNC teamed up with Muon Space for an advanced radio frequency sensing satellite capability and end-to-end mission solution," said Tim Owings, Executive Vice President of SNC's MST business area. "Muon's scalable design, instrument development, and operations support, coupled with our RF technology, diverse data sets, and analytic capabilities, will provide a new level of commercial possibilities starting in 2025."The partnership between Muon Space and SNC underscores the combined strengths of an industry leader in ELINT/tactical sensors and the innovative potential of New Space and agility of modular design in Muon's Halo satellite technology
