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.
