Launch YC: Constellation — The Operating System for Space

"Constellation is building AI for satellite mission assurance."
TL;DR Constellation is an AI-powered operating system for satellite constellation management. They predict link failures before they happen (90%+ accuracy) and autonomously reroute traffic in under 2 seconds—zero data loss, zero human intervention.

The Problem

There are 10,000 satellites in orbit today. There will be 70,000 by 2030.

Network failures already cost the industry $2.5 billion per year—and the old model of managing these networks manually doesn't scale to thousands of satellites.

Today's satellite operators are stuck in reactive mode: something breaks, engineers scramble, data gets lost, SLAs get violated. The tools were built for a world with dozens of satellites, not thousands.

As constellations grow, the complexity compounds. Weather events, atmospheric interference, traffic spikes, hardware degradation—all happening across a global network, 24/7. No human team can monitor and respond fast enough.

The Solution

ConstellationOS is an AI-driven operating system that makes satellite networks autonomous and resilient.

What it does:

  • Ingests telemetry from satellites, ground stations, and weather systems—over 100,000 messages per second.
  • Predicts failures using advanced ML models (atmospheric, signal quality, network topology, traffic patterns).
  • Autonomously acts to reroute traffic, execute handoffs, and rebalance load—all in under 2 seconds.

Think of it as autopilot for your satellite network. Constellation gives you a 5-minute early warning window before failures happen, then handles the response automatically.

The result: Zero data loss. Zero human intervention. Massive cost savings.

Why Constellation

The team has worked on this exact problem for years at SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA. The founders have seen firsthand how current tools break down at scale—and they've built the systems that need to replace them.

They're not theorizing about satellite operations. The founders have lived it.

Traction

They're currently in the design partner phase testing with a couple of commercial/government operators.
