TFX Capital led a seed funding round inThinkOrbital. ThinkOrbital is a Boulder-based space technology company developing a “Space-to-Space X-ray” inspection system designed to image and characterize objects in orbit using penetrating X-ray capabilities. The platform is intended to support space domain awareness use cases such as anomaly resolution, damage assessment, and improved determination of spacecraft capabilities and intent. The funding will support continued development and planned in-space demonstrations of ThinkOrbital’s X-ray imaging technology as demand for on-orbit inspection and infrastructure capabilities grows.
Brandon Shelton, founder and managing partner of TFX Capital, noted: “Infrastructure at scale is the key to unlocking the next phase of the space economy, from manufacturing to defense to power and compute,” Shelton said, “and we believe ThinkOrbital has both the technology and the team to make that future real.”
