Deep space communications as a service
We are building a turn-key communications system tailored for lunar and deep space missions. Our product combines a ground station network with integrated software tools to maximize uptime and availability. This allows spacecraft teams to reduce iteration cycles from weeks to hours, speeding up deep space operations.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based there during and after YC.
San Francisco gives us access to aerospace talent and investors focused on hard tech and space, which aligns with what we're building.
