The new capital will support upcoming mission execution and the expansion of Scout's manufacturing capabilities, including the buildout of a new 2,600-square-foot facility in Northern Virginia. The funding will also accelerate sensor deployment and software capabilities.

Scout Space was founded in 2019 with the mission to enable a new era of space safety and transparency. Their in-space products and services, first launched in 2021, allow spacecraft to see and understand their surroundings. The company's orbital distributed sensor network is designed to significantly improve Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and ensure responsible use of the space environment. Scout's platform-agnostic systems combine advanced optical payloads, edge processing, and autonomy to detect, track, and characterize objects in orbit, supporting safer, more informed operations for commercial and national security missions.
