Marble Imaging raises €6 million to expand satellite constellation
Cherry Ventures led the additional funding, with the Bremen company targeting 30 satellites by 2030 and its first launch scheduled for early 2027.
Germany’s Marble Imaging has secured another €6 million in funding to help expand its planned satellite constellation. Cherry Ventures led the investment, which extends a seed round that initially raised €5.3 million under the leadership of High-Tech Gründerfonds.
Founded in Bremen in August 2023, the company is developing very-high-resolution Earth observation satellites and an artificial intelligence-powered platform for analysing data from multiple sources. Marble says it aims to provide observation data and analytics as frequently as hourly, serving customers in defence, civil security and critical infrastructure.
The company says its first spacecraft, Marble Sat-1, has completed testing before flight and is fully funded. Launch is scheduled for early 2027. The satellite is designed for visible and near-infrared imaging with spatial resolution of up to 0.7 m, alongside collection of short wave infrared data.
Marble’s target is a constellation of 30 satellites by 2030, with the new capital intended to accelerate that expansion. Its existing analysis services include detecting objects, assessing terrain and trafficability, monitoring coastal assets and classifying land cover.
