Cognitive Space is building the intelligent infrastructure of the New Space domain. Space is going through a dramatic transformation, with scalability of systems becoming increasingly important - Cognitive Space is solving this modern issue by Orchestrating the Evolution of Space. The evolving, new reality of space is thousands of earth observation spacecraft orbiting the planet, collecting data as individual units, holistic swarms and virtual mega-constellations. Everything we've known to date about how earth observation is done - collection planning, data downlink, analysis - in fact the full Tasking, COllection, Production, Exploitation and Dissemination (TCPED) cycle - has to evolve to keep pace with the innovation happening on orbit. At Cognitive Space we're building and training AI-enabled systems that are mission-ready for the TCP end of that cycle. We've already lowered the TC latency for some customers by 10x. And we're just getting started. Today, we're building machine learning, remote worker tasking systems that will orchestrate satellite constellation operations on orbit. In the near future we will scale to also orchestrate drones and vehicles on-planet, in orbit and off-planet. Join our highly dedicated team of engineers, data scientists, and domain experts in reshaping the future of space.
