Marble Imaging, a Germany-based Earth observation company, has raised an additional €6 million in seed funding to expand its commercial satellite constellation.
The latest investment was led by Cherry Ventures and extends the company’s previous €5.3 million seed round which was led by High-Tech Gründerfonds in December 2025.
With the latest funding, Marble Imaging has raised a total of €11.3 million.
Founded in August 2023 and based in Bremen, Marble Imaging is building Germany’s first commercial constellation of very-high-resolution (VHR) Earth observation satellites. The company aims to provide frequent satellite imagery and AI-powered analysis to support decision-making across defence, civil security and critical infrastructure.
Europe is currently reliant on foreign countries for high-definition satellite imagery which creates problems for a variety of geographical locations – the lack of access to this information could mean government and businesses alike malnourished with necessary intelligence when a crisis affects both the safety and wellbeing of people.
Marble Imaging looks to overcome the problem by creating its own satellite system and an AI-based analytical platform that processes data received from various sources into actionable information.
Its technology is designed to support several applications, including defence, crisis and disaster management, climate security, renewable energy, infrastructure and mobility. The company also offers services such as object detection, terrain analysis, trafficability assessment, coastal asset monitoring and land-cover classification.
First Satellite Scheduled for 2027 Launch
Marble Imaging’s first satellite, Marble Sat-1, is fully funded and has completed its pre-flight testing. It is scheduled to launch in early 2027.
The satellite is designed to capture images at up to 0.7-metre spatial resolution using visible and near-infrared sensors. It will also collect data in the shortwave infrared spectrum, providing additional information for Earth observation and analysis.
The company plans to build a constellation of 30 satellites by 2030. The latest funding will help accelerate satellite procurement, launch preparations and the expansion of its space infrastructure.
As the constellation grows, Marble Imaging expects its satellite data and AI analytics platform to provide more frequent and detailed information about activities and changes on Earth.
The additional investment from Cherry Ventures reflects growing interest in European satellite infrastructure and the demand for independent access to high-resolution Earth observation data.
