Meta Futura Aerospace seeks to raise £1.8 million in investments
University of Southampton Graduates Revolutionize Satellite Mobility with Meta Futura Aerospace
In the dynamic world of aerospace, innovation is the key to unlocking new possibilities. This is particularly true for Meta Futura Aerospace, a groundbreaking startup co-founded by Fabrizio Pisani and Pedro Rodríguez López, both graduates of the University of Southampton.
Meta Futura Aerospace is making waves in the satellite industry with its innovative thrust vectoring technology. This cutting-edge technology allows satellites to perform the job of 16 thrusters with just two, offering unprecedented efficiency and cost savings.
The satellite manufacturing market is expected to be worth £44 Billion by 2030, and Meta Futura Aerospace is well-positioned to make its mark. The company is building the most maneuverable and agile small satellite in the industry, set to revolutionize the way we navigate and control satellites in space.
The company's satellite mobility solution has been tested in microgravity environments in the UK and at ESA/ESTEC facilities, demonstrating its potential for complex maneuvers such as orbital adjustments, collision avoidance, and attitude control.
Meta Futura Aerospace has already received significant backing, including £51k equity free funding from the ESA BIC and pre-seed investment from CDP Venture Capital SGR. The company has recently announced a £1.8m investment seed round, seeking seed investors with experience in supporting spacetech startups to scale.
Dr. Alice Iles, Head of Tech Acceleration at the University of Southampton, commends Meta Futura Aerospace for reaching a crucial point in their growth. "Their innovative approach to satellite mobility is a testament to the potential of our graduates to make a significant impact in the aerospace industry," she said.
It's never too early for researchers or students at the University of Southampton to start a conversation with the website team about creating a startup. Interested parties can contact the Meta Futura Aerospace team directly or book an informal call or meeting with the University of Southampton's website team.
As Meta Futura Aerospace prepares for their first in-orbit test of their technology, the future of satellite mobility looks bright. With their innovative thrust vectoring technology, the company is set to redefine the way we navigate and control satellites in space.
