Discover the cutting-edge launch systems, orbital infrastructure, and commercial space innovations expanding humanity's footprint and building the new space economy.
Sophia Space raises $22M for orbital AI compute as SpaceX, Starcloud, and Muon Space race to build the first data centers in low Earth orbit.
The orbital debris removal market reached $1.2 billion. Space insurance is $4.43 billion. The convergence creates a new institutional asset class — if the financial engineering catches up.
Ground Station as a Service is evolving from a niche space-industry utility into an institutional-grade infrastructure asset class — mirroring the towerco model that reshaped global telecom.
97% of space assets fly without insurance. ORBITInsure launched Warren AI in June 2026, the first AI-native underwriting engine for orbital assets, targeting a $4.06B market that traditional insurers cannot price at scale.
Northrop Grumman's MRV-1 launches July 21 — the first commercial robotic mission to extend the life of GEO satellites. A $2.16 billion market is moving from demos to operations.
Constellation Space, Antaris, and a new wave of startups are building AI-native operating systems for the orbital economy. With 10,000 satellites in orbit today and 70,000 projected by 2030, manual operations no longer scale.
Space Forge generated 1,000C plasma in orbit, proving autonomous semiconductor manufacturing works. The debate: can orbital crystal growth compete with terrestrial fabs at commercial scale?
Ubotica raised $11M for Live Maritime Intelligence, an orbital AI platform that detects dark vessels in real-time by processing satellite data directly in orbit. A convergence of space-based edge computing and maritime domain awareness.
