Today, Turion is announcing the close of our $75M+ Series B, led by @WashingHarbour, with participation from existing investors @Aurelia_Foundry, @forward_deploy, and @FoundersXVC, alongside new partners Center15 Capital, Magnetar, @HOFCapital, and @IndustriousVC. When we founded Turion in 2021, the mission was clear: build the most capable commercial spacecraft on orbit, win the contracts that would fund our vision, and lay the infrastructure for the space economy. We did that. This round validates our team, our portfolio, and our vision. More importantly, it's an inflection point that expands what we can build and how fast we can build it. The future of space isn't waiting. Neither are we.

Last week, USSF confirmed weaponry on orbit. Supporting US national security will take many forms. With this recent news in mind, we remain committed to delivering credible capabilities to drive the OODA loops of 21st century space superiority. The domain has never been more important.

Orbital compute alone is a losing game near-term unless you have Starship. 10MW of solar + storage on the ground, no racks, buying every subsystem: ~$50M. Stick it in the desert, add Starlink, skip interconnect, EZ. To beat that from space you need 100 × 100kW sats for under $50M all-in. If you aren’t SpaceX, launch alone doesn’t close (yet). Bullish long-term on Elon’s 99.99% thesis, but near term this creates an incentive that is likely to accelerate market consolidation from LV to end service. If you already fly a profitable, power-hungry constellation, adding compute, power, and radiators starts to work. Dedicated compute sats are the only ones that show up at hyperscaler scale. Everything else is ad-hoc. Survival through the consolidation wave is winning, and the winners will be massive. @TurionSpace is in it to win it. 🫡 Should be an exciting next 5–10 years.

Every surface has a story to tell. The challenge is capturing the details that aren't immediately visible. We'll be at DoDIIS Worldwide, August 9-12 at the Tampa Convention Center. Stop by to meet the Turion team and learn how we're expanding what's possible from orbit.

DROID.002 successfully executed a live on-orbit evasive maneuver during Exercise SALITRE 2026 in response to a simulated threat, marking the first time a commercial satellite has demonstrated the capability in a combined multinational exercise. The maneuver was coordinated with real-time alerts from the Joint Commercial Operations team, highlighting how commercial operators can contribute alongside government and international partners during complex space operations. We're looking forward to continuing that work at PANAMAX 2026 later this summer. Read the full story: dvidshub.net/news/569860/coa…

It was a privilege to speak with students at the Long Beach Space Beach Youth Camp, sharing Turion's journey from startup to emerging mission prime and discussing how to build a career in the burgeoning space sector. The future of our industry depends on the talent we invest in today. Thank you to the Long Beach Workforce Innovation Network (LBWIN) Youth Career Services Center for connecting students with companies across Space Beach and helping inspire the next generation of space leaders.

July 20, 1969: Proof that audacious dreams are the engine of human progress. 🚀 The Apollo 11 Moon landing wasn't just an engineering triumph; it proved that when we dare to aim for the impossible, we elevate our collective potential. Every giant leap begins with people willing to solve uncharted problems. Today, the Turion team is proud to carry that spirit forward, tackling the next generation of space challenges to build a sustainable future beyond Earth. #Apollo11 #SpaceExploration #DeepTech #TurionSpace

[REDACTED] has entered the building. The hardware is real, the tolerances are tight, and the destination is high. We are keeping the finest details under wraps for now, but the momentum is impossible to hide.

250 years ago, a nation was built on the radical idea that we could chart our own course. That same grit and endless curiosity took us across oceans, into the sky, and now to the stars. Today, we celebrate the relentless American spirit that turns the impossible into the inevitable. Every generation has a new frontier to build towards and at Turion, we are carrying that torch forward by building the infrastructure for the next one. Happy Independence Day.

You can't mine what you can't track. You can't defend against what you can't see. Near-Earth asteroids hold more platinum-group metals than all of Earth's reserves combined. Knowing what's out there is where everything starts. #AsteroidDay #SpaceDomainAwareness

The orbit repeats. The capability compounds. 5,561 orbits on D2 to date, each one building the foundation for what comes next.

That's DROID.002. It's in orbit right now, operating with software developed by the same team that built the spacecraft. Spacecraft are often judged by their hardware, but software is what turns capability into action. Every day, DROID.002 helps us prove our technology where it matters most: on orbit.
