Satlyt raises $8M to run AI on satellites
Satlyt, a startup founded by former Google and SpaceX product manager Rama Afullo, has raised an $8 million seed round led by Non Sibi Ventures. The company develops software to run AI models on satellites, aiming to create a shared computing cloud in orbit. Satlyt has already tested its software on two missions and is launching on a SpaceX rocket alongside Google's Project Suncatcher. Initial focus is on operational efficiencies like anomaly resolution and sensor data processing, reducing downlink costs. The company plans to demonstrate a multi-satellite cloud next year.
