About Deneb Space

Deneb Space is building the infrastructure that allows satellites to operate autonomously at scale. As the number of satellites in orbit rapidly increases, operators can no longer rely on manual mission control to safely manage spacecraft operations. Our founders have deep expertise in satellite navigation, AI, and mission operations, with experience spanning NASA JPL, Thales Alenia Space, and multiple successful satellite missions. Unlike most early-stage space companies, our technology is already operating in space, with flight heritage, first sales, manufacturing partners, and active customer discussions already in place. We're now scaling toward autonomous satellite operations built for the commercial market.

🎯 The Problem

Space is getting crowded, but satellite operations still rely heavily on manual mission control and a small pool of navigation experts that cannot scale with the rapid growth of satellites in orbit. Today, 20-50% of satellites spin uncontrollably after launch, contributing to an estimated $1.4B in lost annual revenue in Deneb's target market alone.

💡 The Solution

Deneb enables autonomous satellite operations at scale by replacing manual mission control with intelligent onboard autonomy. Our integrated hardware and software platform allows satellites to stabilise in under 24 hours, reduce operational risk, and improve manoeuvrability in orbit. Unlike traditional aerospace systems, Deneb's technology is commercially accessible, scalable, and already operating in space today.
