Multi-sensor fusion
Radar, SAR, optical and infrared observations form a shared operational picture.
More satellites, debris and conjunctions create operational complexity that traditional workflows cannot scale with. At the same time, vast volumes of raw sensor data are still transmitted to Earth for processing — a dependency that grows with every mission. SpaceSafety AI addresses both: we are developing autonomous on-orbit data processing that understands events directly in orbit and turns that complexity into a clear, actionable picture.
A unified operational picture for detecting, understanding and responding to orbital risk — built around conjunction detection, debris intelligence and explainable decision support.

We are developing SpaceSafety AI as an intelligent on-orbit system that can process multi-sensor data onboard, understand relevant events and prioritize information for decision support.
From collecting data to understanding events.
Radar, SAR, optical and infrared observations form a shared operational picture.
Information is assessed where it is generated instead of relying on continuous raw-data downlinks.
Anomalies and relevant events are identified and prioritized close to the sensor.
Satellites can exchange observations to support coordinated analysis across an orbital network.
Decision-relevant intelligence is transmitted first, rather than sending every raw observation.
Sensor data is fused, understood and prioritized directly onboard — only decision-relevant information reaches the ground.

Autonomous on-orbit processing needs both: AI evaluates sensor data directly onboard and decides what is relevant, while physics-based orbital models anchor every result and keep it verifiable on ground.

Illustrative processing flow
Autonomous on-orbit processing only earns trust when every onboard result stays traceable: each detected event carries its sensor basis, its confidence and a physics-based check on ground before it drives a decision.
AI supports the decision. Physics validates it.
