SpaceTech startups raised just over $535m in VC investment globally in July, led by one big investment in each of the major spacetech VC ecosystems. The U.S. and China, the two biggest ecosystems for spacetech funding so far this year, each saw one megaround. In the U.S., broadband satellite provider Astranis raised $200m for their Omega constellation, and in China (Jiangsu) Deep Blue Aerospace raised 1b RMB ($139m) for liquid recovery and reuse launch vehicles.
