WASHINGTON — Washington Harbour Partners has made a strategic investment in Turion Space, a California-based startup developing spacecraft and mission software for space situational awareness, debris removal, and in-orbit services, the company announced April 2. 

The value of the investment was not disclosed.

The investment, which marks Washington Harbour’s first in Turion Space, was part of a broader funding round that included venture capital firms Y Combinator and Forward Deployed VC, among others. The funding aims to expand Turion’s capabilities in space domain awareness, missile warning and tracking, orbital debris management, and collision avoidance — technologies critical to both U.S. national security and the global space economy, Turion’s co-founder and CEO Ryan Westerdahl said.
