About

Cognitive Space develops CNTIENT, an AI-powered software-as-a-service platform for automated satellite constellation management and mission operations. The platform uses deep learning and cloud computing to dynamically reschedule mission plans in near real-time, coordinate multi-ground station network pass scheduling, and optimize data collection across satellite fleets. In operational use, CNTIENT has demonstrated 87% time savings per operator per week and 4x improvement in collection performance over traditional methods.

The company serves both commercial satellite operators and U.S. government agencies. Its commercial customers include Terran Orbital, where it achieved a world-first in SaaS-driven AI earth observation satellite operations. Government customers include the U.S. Space Force, the Space Development Agency, NOAA, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, Cognitive Space has raised $10 million in funding.
