This is the first in a series of notes from our 3-month residency in Cohort 4 of the SDA TAP Lab’s Project Apollo accelerator:

It’s Day 2 here in Colorado Springs, and we’re already brainstorming at an extraordinary level.

The U.S. Space Force has pulled in PSAI, along with experts in sensor technology, threat assessment, and space-domain awareness, to collaborate on methods of sorting out hostile satellite activity from the myriad commercial satellites, rocket bodies, and chunks of debris cluttering earth orbit.

The TAP Lab mission’s 512-day deadline is as short and ambitious as its list of goals is long and challenging. The learning curve feels like a tight, nearly-vertical straight line.

And we could not be in a better place right now to absorb information, forge meaningful partnerships, and make great friends and opportunities as we define where we are best-positioned to pitch in on delivery.

We’ll share more as the project develops; Watch this space.

We are stoked for what we can accomplish tomorrow and beyond.

“During the three-month TAP Lab cycle, PSAI will further test and refine its solutions for space domain awareness by responding with a team in a given scenario related to threat warning and assessment. “
