The company reveal behind a new category of orbital infrastructure

Project-S connects European deep tech, critical infrastructure and the growing need for safer access to space.

The news

Project-S is publicly revealing its company, mission, team and backing. The thesis is direct: orbit is becoming infrastructure for communications, navigation, climate intelligence, science and security—yet its safety layer has not scaled at the same pace.

Why now

The economic and societal value of orbit rises with every service that depends on satellites. More spacecraft and more debris make accurate information, resilient infrastructure and better decisions increasingly important.

The end-to-end roadmap

Backing: Project-S enters public view with multi-million-euro backing led by Uni.Fund II, complemented by German and European public innovation support. Exact financial terms are not disclosed.

Evidence behind the vision: A lean engineering team has already moved compact radar technology-demonstration hardware from design through assembly, testing and delivery—evidence that the company can execute end to end.

Investor quote

"Space has quietly become critical infrastructure — for communication, navigation, security and climate — but the safety layer to protect it barely exists. That gap is exactly what we look to back. Project-S pairs real technical depth with rare speed: a lean team that has already taken radar hardware from design to delivery. We led this round because we believe this capability should be built in Europe, and that Leonidas and his team are the ones to do it. We're proud to support their mission to keep space safe and open for the generations to come." — Dora Trachana, Partner at Uni.Fund VC
