"Power drives everything in space. It's the fundamental metric that ties every development back to it, from communications throughput to how much compute you can host in orbit."
@K2SpaceCo announced a $500 million Series D this week, and co-founder and CEO
@KaranKunjur laid out the thesis behind it on
@tbpn .
The round lands 120 days into the mission of Gravitas, K2's first mega-class satellite, giving the company real-world proof that its bet on building bigger, higher-power satellites actually works in orbit.

Congratulations to Karan,
@neelkunjur, and the entire K2 Space team on this news ๐!
