Problem
Spacecraft operators face limited onboard autonomy, requiring constant ground control for telemetry analysis, maneuver planning, and collision avoidance, which increases latency, operational costs, and risk of mission failure.
Solution
Setanta Space delivers integrated AI-driven autonomy platforms that combine hardware and software to enable real-time telemetry monitoring, predictive anomaly detection, and on‑board decision making. Their modular onboard computer, Danu, provides the processing power and flexible architecture needed for edge AI workloads across CubeSat to larger satellite missions. The Ora sandbox allows developers to benchmark and deploy AI models on a variety of computing architectures, streamlining the transition from ground‑based testing to flight. By fusing space situational awareness data with autonomous navigation algorithms, the system can execute precise maneuvers and collision‑avoidance actions without ground intervention. Additionally, Setanta’s Earth Observation pipeline converts raw sensor data into actionable insights for sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, climate monitoring, and maritime tracking.
Target Audience
Primary customers are satellite manufacturers, mission operators, and government or commercial space agencies that require autonomous on‑board capabilities for small to medium‑class spacecraft.
