Aethero wants to become the space industry’s Intel or Nvidia

Satellite sensors collect an incredible amount of raw data, but on-orbit compute limitations mean that operators have little way to process this data in

“Right now pre-processing of space data is the larger market, but we anticipate that as the years go on, and as there’s more orbital assets, enabling autonomy for spacecraft is going to be massive,” co-founder and CEO Edward Ge said in a recent interview. “Ultimately spacecraft need to have a decision-making capability in real time at their position, versus relying on mission control forever,” he added. While Ge couldn’t discuss conversations with customers, he did say Aethero has seen certain demand themes from the Earth observation market and from on-orbit servicers and private space stations.
