Marble Imaging raises €6 million for European satellite network
Marble Imaging raised an additional €6 million in funding led by venture capital firm Cherry Ventures.
The Bremen-based company is building a German network of high-resolution Earth-observation satellites to collect imagery and provide analysis.
Europe and its partners rely on non-European providers for some satellite imagery, which the company says can leave them without coverage over important areas.
Marble plans to use satellite data and AI tools to support decisions in areas including defence, crisis response, infrastructure and climate security.
Its first satellite is scheduled to launch in early 2027, after completing pre-flight testing.
The new funding will help the company expand its constellation, with a goal of 30 satellites by 2030.
