Infinite Orbits announced back‑to‑back acquisitions of LMO’s Luxembourg operations and UK‑based Lúnasa Space within a week, leveraging the €40 million financing it raised in November 2025. The deals add advanced space‑situational‑awareness software and autonomous rendezvous capabilities to its Endurance and Orbit Guard spacecraft. The company now boasts a €150 million order book and has expanded its European footprint with offices in Luxembourg, Spain and the United Kingdom.
Europe’s in‑orbit servicing market is entering a growth phase, driven by aging satellite constellations and tighter orbital traffic management requirements. Infinite Orbits, a Toulouse‑based startup, has positioned itself at the forefront by securing a sizable €40 million round that signals investor confidence in its dual‑track strategy: extending satellite lifespans with the Endurance platform and providing close‑range monitoring via Orbit Guard. This capital injection not only underwrites R&D but also funds a deliberate geographic expansion, aligning with the European Union’s ambition to build a sovereign space infrastructure.
The recent acquisitions of LMO’s Luxembourg operations and the UK‑based Lúnasa Space are strategic moves that deepen Infinite Orbits’ technical stack. LMO brings proven autonomous space‑situational‑awareness software, enhancing Orbit Guard’s ability to detect and avoid debris and potential threats. Lúnasa contributes expertise in autonomous rendezvous, proximity operations, and a fully equipped assembly, integration, and testing facility, bolstering Endurance’s docking and refueling capabilities. By integrating these assets, the company shortens development cycles, reduces reliance on external vendors, and creates a more cohesive service offering for commercial and defense customers.
For satellite operators, the expanded portfolio translates into a single‑source solution for both life‑extension and on‑orbit inspection, reducing operational risk and extending revenue streams from existing assets. Competitors in the United States and emerging Asian players will now face a more robust European contender, potentially reshaping partnership dynamics and procurement decisions. Looking ahead, Infinite Orbits’ growing order book and its foothold across key European hubs suggest it could become a pivotal supplier for the continent’s next generation of resilient, serviceable satellite constellations.
