Catalyx Space Raises $5.4 Mn for Next-Gen Re-entry Tech and Space Infrastructure
Catalyx Space, a pioneering startup in the spacetech sector, has raised $5.4 Mn in its seed funding round, led by Outlander VC. The company aims to demonstrate its next-generation re-entry and landing technology, scale its go-to-market strategy, and execute upcoming missions with the fresh capital.
Founded in 2024, Catalyx Space offers unmanned space labs and re-entry capsules for multi-purpose space operations. The startup, headquartered in San Francisco but operating from Ahmedabad, is committed to democratizing access to space. With the recent funding, Catalyx Space will develop a complete back-end infrastructure for space, enabling upmass and downmass in orbital logistics.
The Indian government is actively promoting the spacetech sector, approving a INR 1,000 Cr VC fund last year to boost the space economy. The sector is expected to become a $77 Bn opportunity by 2030, with many Indian spacetech startups emerging recently. Catalyx Space has already partnered with over 26 space missions and launched one orbital satellite, with plans to demonstrate its 50 kg-class Cosmotron satellite bus in early 2026.
Catalyx Space's latest funding round will support the development of crucial space infrastructure, further advancing the company's mission to make space more accessible. The startup's success in the spacetech sector contributes to India's growing presence in the global space economy.
