Northwood Space Raises $375M to Expand Satellite Ground Network
Northwood Space Corp. secured $375 million to scale its multi-orbit ground network serving commercial, U.S. government, and allied customers.
Northwood Space Corp., a Torrance, California-based company focused on connecting satellites to Earth, announced it has raised $375 million in new funding, according to a Nov. 2, 2026 press release. The capital injection is intended to accelerate the buildout of the company's shared, multi-orbit ground network infrastructure.
The network is designed to serve a broad customer base that spans commercial operators, U.S. government agencies, and allied nations, positioning Northwood at the intersection of the growing commercial space sector and national security priorities. A shared ground network model can allow multiple satellite operators to access terrestrial infrastructure without each building dedicated facilities, a cost and time efficiency that has drawn increasing investor interest across the industry.

Northwood's multi-orbit approach signals an effort to avoid dependence on any single orbital altitude, a strategic consideration as both commercial and government customers increasingly operate assets across diverse orbits. The Torrance-based firm did not disclose the identities of investors participating in the round at the time of announcement.
