Infinite Orbits Expands into the UK with Lúnasa Acquisition
Infinite Orbits today announced the acquisition of UK-based Lúnasa Space, marking the company’s establishment in the United Kingdom and reinforcing its Endurance life-extension servicer through enhanced rendezvous and docking capabilities. The acquisition comes as the UK places growing emphasis on in-orbit servicing and proximity operations technologies.
Following the recent integration of LMO in Luxembourg, this move represents a further step in Infinite Orbits’ European expansion. With operations now anchored across France, Luxembourg, Spain and the United Kingdom, the company continues to strengthen the technical foundations of its in-orbit servicing roadmap.
Expansion into the United Kingdom
The establishment of a UK operational and engineering footprint strengthens Infinite Orbits’ long-term engagement with the British space ecosystem, enabling closer collaboration with UK-based industrial partners, research institutions and institutional stakeholders.
Paul Bate, Chief Executive at UK Space Agency, said:
“I’m pleased to welcome Infinite Orbits to the UK space sector. Safe rendezvous and proximity operations are essential to our mission to make space more sustainable and unlock the full potential of in‑orbit servicing, assembly and manufacturing.This acquisition is a vote of confidence in British engineering talent and the great team at Lunasa, and it strengthens the ecosystem we need to deliver new satellite life‑extension and servicing capabilities.”
Reinforcing Endurance and Life-Extension Capabilities
Lúnasa brings specialised expertise in rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking technologies, along with a payload AIT facility and advanced testing infrastructure dedicated to mission validation and proximity operations development. The integration of Lúnasa’s technical IP, engineering talent and facilities strengthens the technical backbone of Infinite Orbits’ servicing fleet and directly supports the advancement of its flagship life-extension servicer, Endurance.
The integration of Lúnasa’s engineering resources into ongoing life-extension missions and Endurance’s roadmap supports the continued development of safe, reliable and competitive proximity operations and servicing technologies.
Adel Haddoud, CEO of Infinite Orbits:
“We have always believed that the future of the European space industry depends on collaboration rather than fragmentation, that’s the DNA of Infinite Orbits. This acquisition embodies that conviction: by joining forces with outstanding expertise from across Europe, we are reinforcing our leadership in the international market of in-orbit services, and we are protecting our European sovereign expertise”
Amin Chabi, CEO of Lúnasa:
“Joining Infinite Orbits enables Lúnasa’s technologies and engineering capabilities to scale within an operational in-orbit servicing platform. Through our joint vision, we will accelerate the development of advanced rendezvous, proximity operations and satellite life-extension technologies and missions that are critical for the next generation of sustainable space operations.”
Infinite Orbits will present its expanded European presence at Space-Comm Expo in London on 4 March. Media representatives are invited to visit the company’s booth for interviews and further discussion on its UK expansion and Endurance roadmap.
