The funding will support the development of an air-breathing electric propulsion system for Ultra-Low Earth Orbit (ULEO) satellites.
Founded in early 2025 by former ISRO scientists Christopher Parmar and Anupam Kumar, Orbitt Space focuses on satellite operations in ULEO, which is below 250 km in altitude.
This orbit remains largely untapped due to challenges such as high atmospheric drag and fuel limitations.
The funds will accelerate product development, expand the engineering team, and test prototypes.
