What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We transform existing Earth observation satellites with software so they can image other satellites flying nearby. This lets governments and defense agencies track satellites visually without launching new hardware.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Sydney, NSW, Australia, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Sydney is where we are based and have deep network ties. Being physically close helps because our work intersects with aerospace and defense communities here.
