About
Basalt Tech (USA, founded 2023) develops spaceflight software. Its Dispatch operating system orchestrates fleets of diverse satellites, enabling automated tasking and coordination in orbit. Founded by former MIT CubeSat engineers, Basalt aims to simplify spacecraft operations by creating a universal platform for satellite autonomy. The software can integrate tasks like imaging targets, managing radio communications, and even assisting in orbital inspection, allowing multiple satellites to share mission objectives seamlessly. By providing a common operating system for satellites, Basalt seeks to reduce development overhead and streamline the management of large constellations. The founders have begun collaborating with academic and industry partners to test the software for future satellite missions.
