Clyde Space, of course, is now about more than just CubeSats, as it also supply a range of spacecraft subsystems for missions of 1kg up to 5,000 kg, meaning it has the versatility and deep understanding of how to make space products that work. This approach has enabled the company to grow from a standing start in 2005 to over 70 engineering and manufacturing staff at the start of 2016.
Now Glasgow's only French Space Entrepreneur at start up Bird.i has secured £2.6m in funding. Well done@corentin_guillo @hibirdi @scotent and the new space concern adds acceleration to Scottish space activity now, with Bird.i being a $2.6 million investment round led by @AcceleratedDV and with a new investor @Concrete_VC joining @Frontline @scotent and @SatAppsCatapult to scale our product portfolio and continue to expand globally.
