The Company
A venture-backed AI software company whose platform designs spacecraft hardware. It generates antenna, power, and propulsion designs in days, work that normally takes engineering teams months.
The models are the company's own, built over years of applied machine learning research rather than layered on top of a large language model. A natural-language interface now sits over the platform.
Customers include a top-tier international aerospace manufacturer flying high-profile missions and a U.S. satellite constellation manufacturer led by veterans of a major commercial space program. The company also collaborates with a federally funded national research laboratory.
