Mission Control, an Ottawa-based startup that develops space exploration software, raised $3.5M in seed funding led by GreenSky Ventures. The company will use the funds to develop its Spacefarer platform, a SaaS platform that helps mission controllers, scientists, and software developers simplify space missions. Mission Control was founded in 2019 by Ewan Reid and Dr. Michele Faragalli. The company has previously worked on projects for the Canadian Space Agency, European Space Agency, Department of National Defence, and NASA.
The Spacefarer platform is designed to be easy to use and scalable, making it ideal for both small and large space missions. The platform includes features for mission planning, operations management, and data analysis. With this funding, Mission Control is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for space exploration software. The company is poised to play a significant role in the future of space exploration.
