Foundation models for 24/7 Earth Observation
AxionOrbital Space builds foundation models that enable continuous visibility through clouds and darkness. Legacy optical satellites are rendered useless 70% of the time by weather and night cycles, while Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) produces data that is unintelligible to humans and breaks standard vision pipelines.
We solve this by translating raw radar backscatter into analysis-ready optical imagery in real-time. Our proprietary architecture uses deterministic one-step diffusion to transform complex radar signals into clear, photorealistic images. This enables persistent, 24/7 situational awareness for defense, commodities trading, and disaster response, guaranteeing visibility even when the sky is blocked.

What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
We will replace passive optical satellites as the primary mode of Earth observation. By bridging the interpretability gap, we make SAR the global default for critical monitoring ; delivering continuous, 24/7 intelligence at 1/100th the cost of current tasking. Crucially, this efficiency decoupling means humanity can monitor the entire planet with fewer, more capable sensors, drastically reducing hardware congestion in Low Earth Orbit. We are building a future where planetary visibility is not a luxury dependent on the weather, but an omnipresent utility available anytime, anywhere.
