Ahmedabad-based spacetech startup Orbitt Space has secured $1 million in a pre-Seed funding round led by pi Ventures, with IIMA Ventures participating.
Orbitt Space, founded by Christopher Parmar and Anupam Kumar, is focusing on developing an Air-breathing Electric propulsion system for Ultra Low Earth Orbit (ULEO) below 250 km altitude.
The funding will be utilized to expedite the development of Orbitt's proprietary electric propulsion technology, hire skilled personnel, and commence testing of its first prototype.
Orbitt aims to enable sustainable satellite operations in ULEO, offering benefits such as debris-free operations, sharper imaging, reduced signal latency, and radiation protection.
