Lux Aeterna, a Colorado-based startup, raised $10 million in seed funding to develop reusable satellites, positioning itself to reshape the space economy. Founded by ex-SpaceX engineer Brian Taylor, the company plans to launch its prototype, Delphi-1, in early 2027, which will demonstrate the capability to return payloads safely to Earth.

The funding round, led by Konvoy, increases Lux Aeterna's total investment to $14 million. The startup envisions a fleet of reusable satellites operational by 2030, targeting both commercial and defense applications. The Delphi-1 vehicle is designed to withstand atmospheric reentry, enabling refurbishment for future missions.
