Satlyt

Satlyt develops a decentralized space computing platform that transforms satellites into networked edge computing nodes capable of on-orbit AI processing. The company's core product, the Satlyt AI Network, interconnects satellites from different operators into a unified distributed computing system, enabling data processing directly on spacecraft to reduce latency and bandwidth requirements. The platform includes a compute marketplace where satellite operators can monetize excess processing capacity while users purchase on-demand orbital computing power. Satlyt has partnered with The Aerospace Corporation to integrate its edge computing and autonomy software with the NASA-backed DiskSat satellite architecture, and has signed agreements with Rogue Space Systems to demonstrate AI orchestration on orbital test platforms. Founded in 2024 by Rama Afullo, who previously worked at Tesla, Google, and SpaceX, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Sunnyvale and has partnered with the Kenya Space Agency on AI-driven space innovation initiatives.
