 The startup is building Orbital Transfer Vehicles to move satellites in space.


  • Atomos claims it could lower the launch costs for satellite operators by half, saving them from having full navigation capabilities to move to different orbits.
  • The company is working on a self-driving satellite that could detect and move objects in space. 
  • Atomos is a proponent of nuclear propulsion in space, claiming an order-of-magnitude improvement in speed. 
  • The startup expects the first two OTVs to launch in early 2024.
  • The round was led by Cantos Ventures and the Yamauchi No. 10 Family Office, with participation from Dolby Family Ventures, Arden Road Investments, and Techstars, among others.
