Satlyt, founded by former Google and SpaceX Starlink engineer Rama Afullo, has raised an $8M seed round to build software that runs AI models on other companies’ satellites. We explain what its Gemma experiment in orbit showed, what flew on SpaceX’s Transporter-18, who invested, how it compares with Google’s Project Suncatcher and what comes next.
Google will launch its first AI chips into orbit on 1 October 2026 under Project Suncatcher.
