Wedge
Actionable orbital risk intelligence for operators, insurers, consultants, and mission planners before cleanup coordination becomes a transaction layer.
seed narrative
Orbital risk intelligence before cleanup coordination.
Space Janitor starts as software that makes public orbital data useful, trusted, and operational. The cleanup coordination layer comes after teams trust the map, score, alert, and workflow.
Why now
LEO is filling with commercial assets faster than the coordination systems, reporting workflows, and cleanup market primitives needed to keep it usable.
Demo
The MVP persists CelesTrak catalog data, refresh history, active TLE snapshots, searchable object records, watchlists, and non-operational propagation previews.
Moat
Trust compounds through provenance, refresh reliability, analyst workflows, customer watchlists, historical event data, and integrations that become expensive to replace.
Customer
Start with small and mid-sized satellite operators, space-insurance teams, aerospace consultancies, and analysts who already spend time turning public data into decisions.
Funding use
Twelve months funds ingestion hardening, Space-Track validation, conjunction screening, pilot dashboards, expert review, paid reports, and first enterprise integrations.
12-month plan
Make the demo credible enough for paid pilots.
1
Months 0-3: persisted public catalog, object search, TLE propagation, expert interviews
2
Months 3-6: watchlists, alert rules, report exports, Space-Track validation
3
Months 6-9: conjunction screening, explainability, pilot workspaces, customer asset imports
4
Months 9-12: paid pilots, API access, insurance/operator reports, partner integrations
current proof
The MVP now has a database-backed public catalog, object search, refresh history, watchlists, and TLE propagation previews.
Remaining investor proof is external: domain expert quotes, pilot users, validation against authoritative sources, and a measured path from analyst workflow to recurring revenue.
