Lux Aeterna, a Denver startup, plans to launch its reusable satellite, Delphi, in 2027, intending to transform the satellite industry. The innovative design targets reducing launch costs while enhancing operational flexibility, contrasting with current satellites that are not easily adaptable. The concept has gained traction from the Department of Defense due to its strategic military applications in low-Earth orbit. The startup has secured $4 million in pre-seed funding, highlighting significant interest from investors and potential for industry impact. Founder Brian Taylor was inspired by SpaceX's innovations during a test vehicle launch, visioning a transformative approach for satellite technology.
Founder and CEO Brian Taylor said the idea for Lux Aeterna came to him last year while he watched his former employer, SpaceX, launch one of its Starship test vehicles into space.
If successful, it could help slash the cost to get satellite payloads into space. It would also make the process far more flexible than it is today.
