What it does

Operates a constellation of small satellites that collect data about Earth, especially for weather forecasting, aircraft tracking and signal detection, and sells that data and analytics; it sold its maritime ship-tracking business to Kpler in April 2025.

Why it matters

It feeds proprietary satellite data into AI weather models it built on NVIDIA's Earth-2 blueprint and GPUs, an example of AI used to turn space data into forecasts; it is a small company and AI is one part of its product line.

How it makes money

Governments and businesses pay subscriptions and contracts for satellite data, weather forecasts and analytics, and for space services built on its satellites.

Geography

United States (Vienna, Virginia)

AI stack position

Space and next-generation infrastructure. Launch providers, satellite builders and operators, ground networks and the first attempts at running computing in orbit. Most of these companies have no AI business today; they are on this map because of what they carry, connect or build for the companies that do. Open the space lens.
