Astron closes a new investment round to demonstrate rocket propulsion technology
By Astron Systems
Astron closed another round of investment! This time with participation from Angel Invest Ventures, Tiny VC, Deep Quest Capital, and a number of individual angel investors well known for supporting space, deep tech, and defence in Europe.
Funds from the round will be primarily used to fund building and hot firing a prototype of Astron's rocket engine that is designed for long lifetime and reusability. The planned testing will demonstrate orbital flight like conditions within the engine and provide validation that the modelled performance matches with reality.
Astron Systems are an award winning UK company leading developing small-lift class 100% reusable rockets for dramatically more flexible, fast, affordable, and net-zero carbon capable orbital launch and return of small payloads. Astron Systems is backed by prominent investors including Techstars Space, Tiny VC, SFC Capital, and partners with some of the best in the industry.
