We are super excited to announce that Alba Orbital has raised a seed round of $3.4m.
The funding round led by Skype Founder (Metaplanet Holdings) will enable our mission to image everywhere on earth every 15 minutes.

I think Tom has the YC record of most satellites built and launched. For years he built sats for other people, but albaorbital.com is now building and creating their own sat network!
Exciting news!
We are thrilled to share a full resolution picture of the Austrian Alps taken by one of our Unicorn-2 satellites 🛰️
Thanks to the Alba team for their hard work!
Looking for EO data or interested in Unicorn-2? Get in touch!

Alba put together a list of 10+ open source PocketQube designs. This is by far the best resource I've seen on the subject and a gold mine for hobby projects.
There a directory of open source designs you can start with albaorbital.com/open-source-…
Alba Orbital is back on the road!
Meet us at @IAC2025sydney (29 Sep – 3 Oct, Booth 849) to see how we can get you into orbit with PocketQubes and launches from 25K€ 🚀
