About
Building the software layer
for space computing
As computing moves to orbit, the industry needs software infrastructure that doesn't exist yet. We're building it.
Mission
Make orbital computing practical by providing the software tools to plan, simulate, and operate space-based infrastructure.
The space industry is entering a new phase. Launch costs have dropped 90% in a decade. Satellite constellations now number in the thousands. And the first orbital data centers are being planned for deployment in 2027.
But the software infrastructure hasn't kept pace. Teams planning orbital compute deployments are building tools from scratch. Satellite operators lack unified platforms for space domain awareness. The industry needs a common software layer.
RotaStellar provides that layer-simulation tools for orbital compute planning, and intelligence platforms for understanding the orbital environment.
