Launch HN: Constellation Space (YC W26) – AI for satellite mission assurance (constellation-io.com)

Constellation Space, a startup from Y Combinator's Winter 2026 cohort, has launched an innovative AI-driven solution designed to enhance satellite mission assurance. By leveraging real-time telemetry data from satellites, ground stations, and environmental sensors—processing over 100,000 messages per second—the system utilizes advanced AI models to predict potential failures with over 90% accuracy. Users can configure the prediction horizon to specific timeframes, such as 5 minutes to 1 hour, enabling proactive responses to issues before they escalate. This breakthrough is significant for the AI/ML community and the satellite industry, as it introduces autonomous decision-making capabilities that allow for immediate rerouting and handoffs in under two seconds, ensuring zero data loss and eliminating the need for human intervention. Such capabilities not only improve operational efficiency and reliability but also promise substantial cost savings for satellite constellations. Constellation Space is inviting demonstrations of their technology, showcasing features like real-time link degradation predictions and integration support, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize satellite management practices.
