Paris-based space technology company Gama has secured €15 million in a seed funding round. The investment was led by Transition, Planet A, Draper Associates, and Manta Ray.
The capital will be used to establish the first production line for Wing, the company's deployable solar array, at a facility in Ivry-sur-Seine. Additionally, Gama plans to increase its headcount by approximately 60 employees.
Founded in 2022 by Andrew Nutter, Louis de Gouyon Matignon, and Thibaud Elziere, the company previously raised €2 million in a round backed by BPI and CNES. Its first mission, Gama Alpha, launched in 2023.
Gama utilizes high-volume silicon cells for its arrays, aiming to address supply chain constraints. The Wing system includes an array rotator, power management, energy storage, and control software.
The company currently has one named customer, Eclipse Space, with whom it signed a deal in September. Gama is also in discussions with other potential partners across Europe and the United States.
Gama faces competition from companies such as Rocket Lab and Redwire. The firm plans to launch a demonstration unit of its technology in the summer of 2027.
