What they do

Problem

Enterprises that want satellite capabilities lack the aerospace expertise and operational tooling to design, deploy, and operate their own satellite constellations.

Solution

Basalt provides self-flying satellite constellations powered by a spacecraft operating system that lets customers control satellites and stream data through an app.

Who it's for

Enterprise customers needing tailored satellite constellations and satellite data without prior aerospace experience.

Founder

CEO & Co-Founder of Basalt Tech // I was working at Caltech’s fusion lab when I was hired out of highschool by my co-founder Alex. We would spend the next year working together at MIT AeroAstro, and become great friends in the process. Since then, I’ve spent stints at The Aerospace Corporation and SpaceX working on distributed space systems and the American moon landing. Most recently, I dropped out to build Basalt Tech with Alex. My hobbies include hiking and buying infinite whiteboards.
