DPhi Space SA

Streamlining space access via satellite ridesharing.

DPhi Space is building and operating shared satellites to make access to space simpler, faster, and more affordable. Its multi-tenant platform allows service providers (such as telecom antennas or Earth observation cameras) to fly payloads at a fraction of the cost while accessing powerful onboard compute infrastructure, turning each satellite into a server in orbit.

In less than a year from incorporation, DPhi Space went from blueprint to orbit, launching its first customer payloads aboard a SpaceX rocket. By March 2025, its shared platform Clustergate-1 was successfully powered and established nominal communication with every onboard payload. The satellite is now fully operational, serving over five hardware customers in space.
