What did it mean to you for the company to win for Agatha AI? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> Let me recognize CEO ego and hubris and put those aside. I don\u2019t write code. I do not build LLMs \u2014 yet I\u2019m the person that gets to stand up and receive the award. There is a huge part of impostor syndrome that comes up \u2014 How do I get to do this? I represent the company, but how does that feel for the seven people that put their heart and soul into building Agatha? I wanted to make sure that I called them out. It\u2019s not my work, but it\u2019s my responsibility. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover max-w-sm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4oxG9rTSXiolaOqt65Vv_SAT_5415.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic max-w-sm\">Slingshot Aerospace CEO Tim Solms accepts the 2024 Satellite Technology of the Year Award for Agatha AI.

We have three co-founders \u2014 [two of the three] Melanie Stricklan, who is an iconic figure in this industry, and Thomas Ashman, were wearing uniforms in the U.S. Air Force, which is now the U.S. Space Force, and saw that space was exceeding the Department of Defense (DoD) capability. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6865054003f;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6865054003f = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68650540040').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68650540040'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The DoD was reaching out to the typical systems integrators to try to fill the gaps and they did not think that that was going to be sufficient. They decided to step away from their very successful careers and start Slingshot, based on demonstrated national security and Department of Defense needs. It was not aspirational. [The need] was there and has continued to scale. <\/p>\n<p>From the early days of Slingshot, DARPA said there is something unique in analyzing megaconstellations. There was alignment between what the team had already been working on and what DARPA was asking for, so they developed Agatha. The program at DARPA was called PRECOG [Predictive Reporting and Enhanced Constellation Objective Guide]. When we looked at Agatha, we thought this wildly surpasses even the highest expectations of what we thought of what we thought this AI tool was going to be able to do. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: How do you describe the capabilities of Agatha AI? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms: <\/strong>Agatha, in the simplest of terms, identifies anomalies in activity and constellations. We can look at a commercial constellation and the team can say that of your 3,000 satellites, this one satellite has two thrust motors that are inoperable. This really happened. And the customers say \u2018How in the world do you know that?\u2019 It\u2019s very clear to see how that behavior is different. <\/p>\n<p>When we start looking past the congested and the complex and we look at the contested side of things \u2014 we know that space is an active warfighting domain. There are some bad actors in space and they tend to hide some of their activities in large constellations. Agatha is very, very good at identifying that. We don\u2019t attribute intent. We\u2019re not an intelligence agency, but we can say what we see happening. We also have contextual intelligence that we build in the model that says we know what it is and we know what it\u2019s supposed to be doing. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: How is the tool able to get to the level of detail to make a recommendation that a thruster is not operating correctly? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> I talked about contextual intelligence. We did an acquisition of Seradata which is the \u2018one of one\u2019 contextual database for all objects in space, going back to Sputnik. Everything down to the subcomponent level. That informs our AI models, and it reduces what I call the \u2018sphere of uncertainty.\u2019 We know more about an object, even studying supply chains, who\u2019s buying what. If we don\u2019t know about a launch, we can attribute things to it once it shows up in orbit. <\/p>\n<p>We study the behaviors of objects. If there are 10 different types of objects in this constellation, we know what they are, and this one is not doing what it\u2019s expected to do. Agatha says the way it\u2019s maneuvering is different, and that tells us that two thrust motors are probably inoperable. <\/p>\n<p>Agatha can look at the GPS constellation and tell in near real-time, any spoofing or jamming that is being directed at the GPS constellation. If you\u2019re dependent upon GPS, you know if the signal is getting jammed because your GPS signal becomes unreliable. But what about spoofing? What if that signal is being deliberately manipulated so that the user is getting bad data? Agatha can detect that and tell you where it\u2019s coming from. We\u2019ve found that to be very powerful.<\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: What does this capability mean for your customers? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms: <\/strong>Situational awareness is absolutely critical. Even if you\u2019re not operating in a megaconstellation, you need to know what is going on around you. Whether you\u2019re a commercial entity or governmental, you\u2019re still threatened either by the complexity of the congested nature of orbital operations or by deliberate, nefarious activity in a highly contested environment. <\/p>\n<p>Our sensors are designed in a way that we are persistently watching. We [collect] about 8.5 to 10 million observations per day based on optical ground sensors that are all over the world. That persistent watching sees something anomalous and we use AI as we\u2019re curating that data to make that observation meaningful and useful to the person who\u2019s receiving it \u2014 whether they are government or commercial. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68650540446;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a68650540446 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68650540447').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a68650540447'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: How do you see greater opportunity for Agatha to be used by the government?<\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> When you go back to Mel Stricklan and Thomas Ashman, they wisely predicted a spike in orbital operations that needed capability, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. We see trends happening. Where we are now, we know adversarial first moves will happen in space. We look at space as red and blue, and tradecraft tells us it\u2019s probably the gray objects that are going to be the real threat. We track red and blue very closely. But gray is where we see people hiding \u2014 objects not widely tracked, not widely watched, not widely reported upon. We\u2019ve constructed our sensors, our analytics, and our AI to watch that and say we see something that needs to be identified and reported immediately. We are dedicated to supporting the mission of the United States and United States allies, and we want to do everything that we can to support that.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover mx-auto\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ANytd3cQeCEhXZ9l5aw3_Agatha_News_Image_Only_6-9-25.png\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic mx-auto w-full\">This visualization, produced using Slingshot Aerospace\u2019s Agatha anomaly detection engine, ranks satellites by their calculated \u201cinterest factor\u201d \u2013 a score representing how a given object compares to others in its group based on orbital behavior, reflectivity patterns, and other dynamic characteristics. Highlighted here is one such outlier, identified as exhibiting elevated anomaly signals. Graphic: Slingshot Aerospace <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: Can you share an example of some anomalous on-orbit behavior that Agatha has played a part in identifying?<\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> I\u2019m going to use China for example. China has megaconstellations, and they like to fly their satellites in strings of three, there\u2019s triplets all over a megaconstellation. <\/p>\n<p>One of the things that we saw in analyzing was that everything was behaving normally, except in one triplet, there were two objects that maneuvered like twins. They would move up, they would move down, and they would move up, they would move down. Agatha immediately said \u2014 there\u2019s an anomaly here. We think it\u2019s somebody hiding activity in a megaconstellation. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: What would you like to see change in how the government works with commercial companies like Slingshot? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> We put out an open letter [to the U.S. government] that it is prioritizing space, but not funding it to support prioritization. A congressman from the House Armed Services Committee [recently asked me] \u2018What is your biggest issue right now?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Contracting officers\u2019 desks are empty. They were all working remotely and took the check and left. It takes five to seven years to grow and certify a government contracting officer. It\u2019s not that things are slowed down. They\u2019re told an award has been made but the contract isn\u2019t going to go anywhere because there is literally no one to process it. You\u2019ve asked for a capability. The industry is addressing that need, and you have no way to get to it. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: Where is that situation headed? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> I think the industry is going to force consolidation and I think consolidation is going to limit optionality for the government customer. If we don\u2019t fix contracting, if we don\u2019t fix a few other things, then there will be consolidation. Instead of having 11 companies to bid [there could be] three. That\u2019s not good, we want a crowded market. The government wants and needs options. They need us innovating and competing. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: What do you think has set Slingshot Aerospace apart in developing Agatha AI? <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> First, I\u2019d say it\u2019s our customers. We have a customer set that has allowed us to be nimble and dynamic. But the secret sauce in my mind is the data. We have been able to create the largest corpus of commercially available space data in existence. The data attracts the talent. We\u2019re punching way above our weight class in PhDs. I ask them all the time, \u2018Why are you here? How do I keep you here?\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>They say [they] get to do things here that wildly exceed what [they] can do in a research environment, more data to model and play with. Data scientists, astrodynamicists, they love coming here. My job is to keep it well capitalized, to ensure that environment stays in place. Ultimately, my job is to drive culture. Culture is the number one thing. You can have all the data in the world, but if the culture isn\u2019t there to empower it, cultivate it, and curate it, then ultimately they are going to go somewhere else. We want to make sure that we keep allowing people to do things that are interesting and disruptive and make sure they are empowered to make an impact in their roles. <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: Finally \u2014 With AI as such a hot topic right now, how do you think about meaningful AI capabilities versus AI as a buzzword?  <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> It\u2019s funny. It was cloud, and all the way back to dot com. The thing I love about data \u2014 it\u2019s not a bubble. Data continues to scale and be used in different ways. AI is a way to find faster, more elegant insights that come from data. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6865054082c;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a6865054082c = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6865054082d').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6865054082d'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s unique is how that delivers a capability to a customer. Like I said, I\u2019ve never written a line of code in my life. The market tells me whether our AI is differentiated or not. We have that feedback across four or five completely unique buckets. When I did my diligence on the company, I knew it was there, but I did not know that it was as good as it is. Now I\u2019m starting to see market differentiation because of it. <\/p>\n<p>As a CEO, I need to protect that. I have a great chief of staff who went to Atlanta [recently] to meet with two people from that team just to take them to lunch and make sure that they were connected. The first thing I asked is \u2018How are they? What can I do?\u2019 Because great AI talent is going to be pursued. You are only as good as your talent. We\u2019re a 140-person wonky space company. How do we punch against our weight in AI? We create a culture that incentivizes people to stay and be a part of what we\u2019re doing. It starts with the guy who gets to stand up and receive the trophy saying, \u2018This is not my work. Thank you to those teams.\u2019 <\/p>\n<h3>VIA SATELLITE: When I interviewed Melanie Stricklan for the 2022 Executive of the Year Award, she said very similar things about the importance of culture. <\/h3>\n<p><strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Solms:<\/strong> She\u2019s amazing, we talk all the time. We both come from the military. In the military, [when] there is a change of command, the flag goes from the past commander to the next commander. We talk about the change of command, but I am super keen on our founders\u2019 story. There is a power to a founder story, if you\u2019re willing to honor and respect it. I think we do at Slingshot, and I want to continue to do so. <strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">VS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"Annotation -emphasis\">Lead photo: A network diagram of Slingshot Agatha data depicting the relationships among satellites in multiple, real-world, foreign constellations.
