The month was led by a handful of larger US-based Series C rounds, with Stoke Space ($260m) leading the way with funding to support the development of their 100% reusable medium-lift rocket. Loft Orbital ($170m) and Firehawk Aerospace ($60m) also logged big rounds to start the year.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2022/01/spacewatchgl-column-e2mc-update-on-space-financing-rounds-in-december-2021/ Mon, 03 Jan 2022 08:00:47 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=38292 2021 finished strong, with another SPAC merger with a space-related (albeit not originally a space) company (Tomorrow.io), more fundraising by SpaceX, a few major private rounds, a couple of investments by Virgin Orbit (and hence yet further examples of a de-SPAC’d company deploying part of its cash towards investments) and even a small IPO (Sidus).]]>
