Where Innovation Meets the Infinite

Earth orbit holds tens of thousands of tracked objects and over a million lethal fragments too small to catalog. We are developing the AI, computer vision, and autonomy that active debris removal will demand.

Every tonne already in orbit cost millions of dollars to put there — and most of it is now drifting junk. We are developing the AI and autonomy that could turn that stranded mass into the feedstock of a circular economy in space.

Metal 3D printing is already flying — in rocket engines, satellite structures, and now aboard the ISS. We are building the AI layer that makes printed parts trustworthy, on the ground today and in orbit tomorrow.

More than 41,000 near-Earth asteroids are now catalogued, and some are easier to reach than the surface of the Moon. SDI is researching the prospecting AI and autonomous systems that will turn them from targets into supply depots.

Autonomy is the technology that makes every other space mission possible. SDI is building that foundation now — reinforcement learning, offline edge AI, and robotics research running on our own hardware today.

Debris becomes feedstock. Feedstock becomes parts. Parts become infrastructure. Every mission area feeds the next — coordinated by AI at every layer.

Training control policies on our GPU cluster and moving them onto physical robotic hardware — the ground floor of autonomous systems.

A complete speech-to-speech AI stack — recognition, reasoning over a local knowledge base, and synthesis — running on embedded hardware with zero network connection.

From physical object to digital model to reprinted part — high-resolution scanning, a mobile field-scanning rig, and in-house additive manufacturing in one workflow.
