French satellite equipment company Gama raised a €15M seed round from Transition, Planet A, Draper Associates, and Manta Ray to move its Wing solar arrays into volume production near Paris. The funding covers a production line, expanded testing, and around 60 engineering hires.

Gama adapts terrestrial silicon solar cells for space rather than relying on specialised III-V cells, whose suppliers have lead times of a year or more. It targets six-month lead times once its line is running.

Wing combines solar generation, sun tracking, power management, and optional storage. Gama has partnered with Eclipse Space to supply satellite arrays, with a first demonstration unit due in summer 2027.
