Nishant Machado and Michael Lukacs of Sporos Capital Partners, a private investment firm focused on emerging industries, announced today that the firm, through an affiliate, has invested in Quantum Space, LLC (“Quantum”), a trailblazer in the space infrastructure sector. The investment bolsters the company’s balance sheet and positions it very well to meet the rapidly growing demand for life extension of existing satellites.

“The ability to unlock space’s full potential to support innovation, drive economic growth, and enhance national security with dynamic space operations is becoming ever more critical with the resurgence of the space race. By making a significant investment in Quantum, Sporos is broadening its focus on emerging industries and platforms that we believe can be transformational,” said Nishant Machado, Founder and Managing Partner of Sporos Capital Partners.

Quantum was founded by Dr. Kam Ghaffarian, a visionary entrepreneur and engineer whose mission to advance human knowledge has led him to create companies transforming the space and energy sectors, including Intuitive Machines, X-Energy, and Axiom Space. The company, led by Kerry Wisnosky, is developing and building spacecraft that enable life extension, critical maneuvering on-demand, and data services to meet the growing demands of space operations for commercial, national security, and civil markets.

“Identifying and investing in businesses that push boundaries, address both present and future complex global challenges, and chart a new course in meeting an ever-changing world are the types of opportunities we look for, and Quantum is a clear leader in these areas,” said Michael Lukacs, Strategic Advisor at Sporos.

“Sporos’ investment in Quantum Space is more than just capital—it’s a partnership that strengthens our ability to deliver spacecraft with the 'Freedom to Maneuver' across all orbits. Their commitment, along with our other investors, enables us to accelerate innovation that ensures sustained access and mobility for the evolving needs of the space economy.” – Kerry Wisnosky, CEO, Quantum Space.

This investment in Quantum Space complements other recent investments by Sporos Capital Partners, including X-Energy, a leader in advanced nuclear reactor and fuel technology.
