Infinite Orbits Establishes Presence in Luxembourg Amidst European Expansion

Infinite Orbits Expands European Footprint to Luxembourg

Infinite Orbits, a French NewSpace company specializing in geostationary (GEO) in-orbit services, has announced its expansion into Luxembourg. This strategic move is part of a broader initiative to strengthen its European operational presence, supported by a recently secured €40 million funding round. The company plans to open new offices in several European countries, including Luxembourg, Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland.

Strategic Funding Fuels Growth and Service Deployment

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Toulouse, France, Infinite Orbits focuses on providing critical in-orbit services such as satellite life extension, inspection, and space domain awareness. The recent oversubscribed funding round, announced on November 17, 2025, will accelerate the deployment of its fleet of servicing satellites. The company, led by CEO Adel Haddoud, has already secured a substantial €150 million order book.

Infinite Orbits develops small GEO satellites equipped with advanced patented autonomous navigation solutions, specifically 'Vision Based' technology for rendezvous capabilities. Key projects include Endurance™, a life-extension vehicle, and Orbit Guard, a system for close-range inspection of geostationary spacecraft. The company has also partnered with Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES for Europe's first commercial life extension mission, scheduled for late 2027.

Luxembourg: A Growing Hub for NewSpace Innovation

The decision to establish a presence in Luxembourg aligns with the country's growing prominence in the global NewSpace sector. Luxembourg has actively fostered a dynamic space industry, aiming for its space sector to contribute significantly to its GDP. The nation hosts numerous NewSpace companies and initiatives, positioning itself as a key player in European space innovation.

Among the companies contributing to Luxembourg's vibrant space ecosystem is LMO (Lift Me Off), a dual-use space company based in Luxembourg and the UK. LMO specializes in autonomous in-orbit services and space domain awareness, utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced sensor technology to identify, track, and characterize space objects. Its services encompass in-orbit servicing, agile chemical propulsion for orbital maneuvers, collision avoidance, and end-of-life deorbiting.

Future Outlook for European In-Orbit Services

Infinite Orbits' expansion into Luxembourg underscores the increasing demand for robust in-orbit services to ensure the sustainability and security of space operations. This strategic move is expected to further integrate Infinite Orbits into the European space landscape, fostering collaborations and contributing to the continent's capabilities in satellite servicing and space domain awareness.
