Aptos Orbital

Aptos Orbital, founded in 2021 and based in Palo Alto, California, develops an all-in-one low-SWaP terminal that combines space-hardened AI processing, persistent connectivity, and cloud services for satellites. The device enables on-orbit AI inference and real-time data transmission to Earth without relying solely on ground stations. The company also operates a flight-proven RF mesh network that allows satellites to exchange data directly in a decentralized architecture, and has received backing from investors including Techstars Space Accelerator, having raised a reported $5.62M in seed funding.
