In this article, we are examining 2 VC funded SaaS startups in the Aerospace industry.

Cognitive Space

Organizations may fly their satellites with the aid of Cognitive Space, which uses artificial intelligence to revolutionize satellite operations for mission management, collection planning, and communications link coordination. The economy in New Space is drawing enormous investment and expanding tremendously. Thousands of new commercial spacecraft will occupy space. But for New Space enterprises, developing the necessary "ground architecture" is a huge barrier that often entails a considerable financial investment, a multi-year time commitment, and a high level of execution risk as they grow their business. The plumbing and processes necessary to monetise their constellations are typically unknown to satellite businesses, and they frequently have no clue how to develop the ground infrastructure that will support their commercial goal. Derisking and accelerating their buildout timetable, as well as an operational capability, are provided by Cognitive Space, which is subsequently used to improve their continuing operations. New Equipment for a New Space Advanced SaaS services are offered by Cognitive Space to satellite operators and providers of space infrastructure for maximizing revenue and performance yield, predicting future capacity, and managing collection management as satellite constellations expand and scale. Our efforts will significantly enhance how we keep track of the Earth for comprehending its economy, environment, and national security. Visit www.CognitiveSpace.com to learn more.
