Future
A trajectory, not a promise
This timeline describes how we expect space intelligence to mature, and how our research programme is sequenced against it.
Timeline
Where the research is heading
- Phase 01
Today
Ground-based analysis of satellite data, simulation environments and autonomy research on the bench.
- Phase 02
Near Future
On-board inference for selected tasks, smarter tasking and constellation-level coordination.
- Phase 03
Next Frontier
In-orbit compute nodes, autonomous servicing and intelligence produced before downlink.
- Phase 04
Lunar Era
Cislunar navigation, resource mapping and surface autonomy under long communication delays.
- Phase 05
Mars
Mission autonomy where round-trip latency makes ground control impractical for most decisions.
- Phase 06
Beyond
Self-directed exploration systems that reason about environments no human has observed directly.

The vantage point
Earth
Everything begins on the ground: sensor design, model training, validation and the human decisions our work supports. Earth is both origin and beneficiary.
Applications
- Climate measurement
- Agriculture & water
- Disaster response
