Problem
Current spacecraft operations rely on custom software and manual processes, leading to inefficiencies in managing multiple missions and hindering effective orbital security. Existing platforms lack the capability to integrate machine learning with space assets, leaving a gap in modernizing satellite fleet control.
Solution
Basalt Tech's LodeStone operating system addresses these challenges by linking machine learning and AI systems to orbital assets. This allows operators to manage heterogeneous satellite fleets as a unified, intelligent system, enhancing orbital security and enabling faster, more valuable in-orbit actions. The platform allows engineers to build and train ML models in digital sandboxes using both live and simulated spacecraft data. Operators can then connect these models to heterogeneous fleets in orbit, controlling multi-mission space systems through a single interface.
Target Audience
The primary customers are satellite operators, engineers, and organizations involved in space security, particularly those managing heterogeneous satellite fleets and seeking to modernize their operations with AI and machine learning.
