Satlyt, a space edge computing startup, has signed a commercial licensing agreement to use DiskSat satellite technology developed by The Aerospace Corporation, as the company looks to enable autonomous operations and real-time data processing in orbit.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, Satlyt will integrate its onboard computing framework with the DiskSat architecture to explore applications including autonomous spacecraft operations, in-orbit data processing and distributed coordination among multiple satellites. Satlyt said it is among the first commercial companies to work with DiskSat technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration represents a step toward enabling true autonomy in space,\u201d said Rama Afullo. \u201cDiskSat provides the kind of power and scalability that makes real-time computing in orbit possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
DiskSat is a novel satellite platform developed by The Aerospace Corporation as an alternative to traditional CubeSats. The design measures about one metre in diameter and just 2.5 centimetres thick, offering a flat, disk-shaped structure intended to support higher power generation and payload flexibility.<\/p>\n
The first four DiskSats were launched in December aboard a mission by Rocket Lab, Aerospace said. The organization is now offering technology transfer opportunities to commercial partners to support collaboration and knowledge-sharing around the DiskSat platform.<\/p>\n
Satlyt said the DiskSat form factor and power characteristics align with its focus on edge computing in space, where data can be processed directly on orbit rather than transmitted back to Earth. Such capabilities are seen as increasingly important for constellations that require low latency, resilience and coordinated decision-making across multiple spacecraft.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
