Morpheus Space develops electric propulsion systems for small satellite mobility, providing satellite propulsion throughout mission lifetimes. The company offers modular propulsion units designed to support a range of spacecraft, engineered with redundancy to maximize operational uptime and reliability. The system utilizes a metallic propellant that ensures zero leakage, addressing a critical safety and operational concern for satellite operators. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in El Segundo, United States, Morpheus Space has raised approximately $43M in Series A funding from investors including Airbus Ventures, In-Q-Tel, VSquared Ventures, Lavrock Ventures, Alpine Space, European Investment Fund, and Techstars. The company enables satellite operators to perform orbital maneuvers, collision avoidance, constellation phasing, and end-of-life deorbiting, supporting the rapidly growing small satellite and mega-constellation markets.
