Dadisi Space Technologies
Onboard intelligence for small satellites.
We build the decision-making technology that lets small Earth-observation satellites choose, in real time, what's worth capturing — and what's worth sending home.
The Problem
Satellites that can't adapt.
Small Earth-observation satellites still rely on ground-scheduled, command-by-command tasking — a model built for large agency missions, not the short contact windows and tight budgets of emerging smallsat programmes.
DST is building an onboard intelligence stack that lets a satellite decide for itself: a constrained-optimization mission planner that weighs power, storage, and environmental conditions, paired with an onboard edge-AI model that filters what's worth transmitting before it ever reaches the ground.
A satellite that decides, in real time, what's worth observing — and what's worth sending home.

How it works
Three systems, one decision loop.
Mission Planning
A constrained binary-optimization engine that selects observation targets in real time, weighing power, storage, and cloud-cover constraints.
Onboard Edge-AI Triage
A lightweight, quantized classifier running directly on embedded hardware that filters captured imagery before downlink, saving scarce bandwidth.
Simulation & Ground Control
An orbital and sensor simulator paired with a ground dashboard for mission input, telemetry display, and end-to-end validation.
Let's talk onboard autonomy.
