# Xoople **Type:** Company **Domain:** Space Development **Founded:** [Date not specified in source] **Location:** Madrid, Spain **Status:** Active ## Overview Xoople is a Madrid-based space technology company building satellite constellations specifically designed for AI applications, positioning itself in the "Earth AI" market category - distinct from traditional Earth observation and orbital computing. ## Business Model Rather than delivering raw imagery for human analysis, Xoople's constellation generates "a continuous stream of data about activity on the planet" optimized for machine learning training. The system uses multiple sensing modalities (optical, infrared, SAR, SIGINT) and delivers structured information extracted from large-volume Earth observation data streams as actionable data rather than raw imagery. Cloud-based infrastructure via Microsoft's Planetary Computer Pro. Supports "natural language queries" about Earth surface changes. ## Funding - **Total Raised:** $225M - **Series B:** $130M led by Nazca Capital and CDTI (Spanish government innovation agency) ## Partnerships - **L3Harris Technologies:** Satellite manufacturing partnership for constellation build-out (announced 2026-04-14) - **Microsoft:** Cloud infrastructure via Planetary Computer Pro ## Market Position Positioned as dual-use (commercial Earth observation + intelligence community applications). L3Harris partnership suggests defense/intelligence as anchor customer class. ## Technical Details - Multi-modal sensing: optical, infrared, SAR, SIGINT - Orbit configuration: [Not specified in source] - Constellation size: [Not specified in source] ## Timeline - **2026-04-14** — Announced partnership with L3Harris Technologies for satellite constellation manufacturing - **[Date unknown]** — Raised $130M Series B from Nazca Capital and CDTI ## Sources - SpaceNews, "Xoople and L3Harris team up to build satellites for 'Earth AI'", 2026-04-14
