Hey @nelsonkigen I think we're onto something.

[Satlyt @satlytai]

We raised $8M to build the intelligence layer for satellites.

Our software runs on the computer a spacecraft already has. It monitors itself, catches faults, and processes data in orbit instead of shipping it all down raw.

Already flying. More coming.

Satlyt is the 2026 Defense TechConnect MOSA Innovation Challenge winner! 🏆

Flight-demonstrated software for modular open space systems: remote deployment on third-party spacecraft and 97% on-orbit telemetry reduction.

Thank you to the MOSA / TechConnect team and the judges. 🛰️

@satlytai Woohoo! @nelsonkigen

[Rama Afullo @RamaAfullo]

I guess I don't know my own strength :)

[Rama Afullo @RamaAfullo]

See y'all there!

@nelsonkigen 🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry man

[Satlyt @satlytai]

Our founder @RamaAfullo joined the third annual Fenwick Space Summit. Great conversations with the people building the future of space. Thank you @FenwickWest for bringing this community together. See you at year four. #SpaceTech #NewSpace

[Satlyt @satlytai]

2026 is the year "AI data centers in space" went mainstream.

Putting servers in orbit is half the job. Someone has to run them.

Satlyt orchestrates AI workloads across satellites to process data in orbit and send down answers.

Love it! Let's get stuck in @satlytai

[Jaana Dogan ヤナ ドガン @rakyll]

🥳 Excited to start revealing what we've been working on in the last few months. First, we decided to reinvent Kubernetes for agentic workloads with statefulness and fast resumption. Secondly, we are building an agentic orchestrator that will be Google's open agentic orchestrator and runtime. https://t.co/XCrdAVvDAe

[Google Gemma @googlegemma]

Running AI in space requires strict power and bandwidth management.

Satlyt is deploying Gemma directly on satellites to analyze telemetry and diagnose faults locally. Running Gemma 3 1B onboard cuts diagnostic data payloads by over 64%, turning raw system logs into compact summaries before they are sent back to Earth.

Next launch target: Gemma 4 E2B on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano to provide further reasoning and vision capabilities at the edge… of space.
