The funding from the UK Space Agency supports the establishment of a new advanced manufacturing facility in Gloucester.
"The opening of this manufacturing facility is a win for British ingenuity and a testament to our commitment to backing our homegrown space sector. The innovative technology developed here will support everything from our thriving satellite industry to future deep space missions."
The Cornwall-based company secured a £1m investment from the British Business Bank as part of a wider funding round.
The seed round was led by Female Founders Fund to support team expansion and product development.
"If Palantir became synonymous with centralized terrestrial intelligence, Space DOTS is building its decentralised counterpart in orbit, fusing in-situ data with external sources to help civil and defence partners harden spacecraft, attribute threats, and preserve freedom of action in contested orbits."
The Cardiff-based space tech startup has secured the largest Series A round in the UK sector to advance its in-orbit manufacturing missions.
"This funding marks a significant milestone-not just for Space Forge, but for the entire space economy. With the backing of our investors, we're accelerating our mission to make space a practical and accessible platform for industrial-scale manufacturing. Our upcoming launches will prove that the future of materials innovation lies beyond Earth, helping us build a more secure, sustainable, and technologically advanced world."
West Hill Capital led the Series A+ round to support the development of atomic-scale manufacturing for space exploration.
"This funding empowers us to make atomic-scale manufacturing accessible to space agencies and research facilities worldwide. Our collaborations with NASA and ESA demonstrate our technology’s critical role in advancing space exploration. We’re enabling partners to develop previously impossible devices for space applications — from advanced materials for spacecraft to components for space-based quantum computers."
