Northwood space

Northwood Space is a pioneering aerospace and defense company dedicated to revolutionizing ground infrastructure for the modern space economy. Founded in 2022 by Bridgit Mendler, Griffin Cleverly, and Shaurya Luthra, Northwood is developing a highly scalable, software-defined global ground network powered by advanced phased array antennas, designed to enable efficient, secure satellite communications for commercial, military, and scientific missions. The company’s Portal system delivers unprecedented transmit and receive capabilities, supporting LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites with modular configurations that dramatically reduce cost and deployment time versus legacy technologies. Northwood recently raised $30 million in Series A funding to expand its California-based manufacturing operations and begin deploying multilink connectivity sites with throughput up to 100 Gbps, aiming to build the largest and most resilient shared ground station network globally by 2026.
