Dark is a Paris, France-based aerospace technology company developing rapid-response space debris removal solutions to mitigate orbital hazards. The firm is engineering a specialized spacecraft called Interceptor, which functions as a rocket-propelled system designed to launch, physically attach to, and safely de-orbit uncooperative objects and defunct satellites. Targeting space agencies and commercial satellite operators, the company aims to address the growing risks of orbital collisions and space-based conflicts. To finance the development and deployment of its orbital mitigation technology, the startup raised a $5 million initial funding round in 2021, followed by a $6 million extension in April 2024. This capital was secured from prominent venture capital investors including Eurazeo and Long Journey Ventures, a fund led by Arielle Zuckerberg. Dark was founded in 2021 by former MBDA engineers Clyde Laheyne and Guillaume Orvain.
