Satlyt, a startup founded by a former Google and SpaceX product manager, has raised $8 million to develop open software designed to run artificial intelligence workloads on satellites, according to TechCrunch.
The company describes its approach as aiming to become the "Android of orbital computing," offering open software intended to work across satellites built by multiple companies, the outlet reported.
That positions Satlyt in contrast to SpaceX, which TechCrunch describes as taking a closed, all-in-one approach akin to Apple's iPhone model, with its own integrated hardware and software.
The funding is intended to support further development of Satlyt's platform, according to the report, as the company seeks to position its software as a flexible option for satellite operators running AI applications in orbit.
