Privateer Space

"Make a right turn in thr—", and boom. 💥 Your Apple Maps just went down because a GPS satellite got knocked out by space debris. Now what? Managing space traffic and hazards isn't just about clearing the way for space operators. It's about avoiding serious disruptions to the satellites we all rely on every single day, as pointed out by Privateer Space + Orbital Insight Software Engineer, Shiva Iyer. 

Wayfinder and its Architects: From inception to launch. 🧑🚀 Our Chief Scientist, Dr. Moriba Jah, has long been on a mission to aggregate global data sources and map space debris. When he teamed up with Alex Fielding and Steve Wozniak (yep, that one 🍏), Privateer Space was ready for action. Dive deeper into our lore: https://lnkd.in/g-e5hA_j

“I now understand much better what happens pre- and post-disaster, and what it means to have better intelligence,” says our CEO + Co-Founder, Alex Fielding for Forbes. "You can really help people." ICYMI...👇 https://lnkd.in/gBYhFnYi

❓ One simple question launched Privateer on its voyage: How can we harness the full potential of satellite tech to improve people’s lives? Because it's not just about what's happening in space, but how it’s affecting us here on Earth. Huge thanks to Allison Beck at Forbes for chatting with us and telling our story! https://lnkd.in/gBYhFnYi

Our Wayfinder tool wouldn’t exist without the brilliant team of architects who built it. Among them, our Principal Engineer, Raph Martelles, stands out as a key mastermind behind the visualization tool to track satellites and space debris in low Earth orbit. “It will cripple us. If we don’t have near-Earth communications, things just break. Tools like this help amplify the human mind and imagination and see things at a scale we don’t perceive normally.” Raise your hand if you’ll be referring to it as ‘space crap’ from here on out. ✋

First islands 🌴 , now peninsulas 🌉! I had a blast meeting up with the amazing Bay Area team (plus some special visitors) to celebrate the opening of the new Privateer Space + Orbital Insight office in Palo Alto. Can’t wait to make this space our own and have another home base for this awesome crew!
