Space points raises a $ 1.5 million seed tour to provide visions on tropical threats

Bianca Cefalo to the point that it has found it easier to start its space company literally and launch things into orbit.

Civalo is a founder Space pointsIt was launched in 2022 to detect space threats. She and her team have created a software platform called Sky-I for the manufacturers and operators of satellite technology to help them discover, interpret and attribute natural threats and composed by humans in orbit.

She spent contracts in the industry, where she worked on projects that put things on the moon and launched satellites in orbit. I worked as a dynamic thermal analyst on The task of seeing NASA for Mars The project manager at Airbus Defense and Space was working on satellites.

However, I found that the policy of industry and corporate bureaucracy was bottlenecks for progress. “I felt bored of the game,” she said to Techcrunch.

And I remembered that every time she would show an idea of ​​the last employer, she was met with resistance. “The response was the same,” if it was not already transferred, we do not use it on our satellite. “We were told to innovate, but they refused to adopt anything that is not proven …

In this, she rewritten the rules.

Cefalo said that nearly 15 % of spacecraft suffer from an anomaly or failure due to the misunderstanding of manufacturers of what is already the space.

She said, “Simulation of the Earth can only design a lot. The real environment is more complicated and every different orbital system,” she said.

For example, what may work in a low orbit will not necessarily work in a distant space. Radiation alone can cause accidents that lead to the failure of the spacecraft, while other accidents in space are rejected as defects or “space weather”, because there is not enough data to explain what is already happening.

She said: “Space points work to fix this by generating environmental data in orbit and external sources with external sources to the actual time, and now casting and predicting, giving spacecraft the intelligence advantage to survive and succeed in the disputed space.”

Space Dot actually picks up data from its load (space -based) and plans to get more future launch operations. The company announced on Monday a 1.5 million dollar seed tour led by the Fund for Female Institutions. I have now raised a total of $ 3.2 million in total financing.

Cefalo described the process of collecting donations as “dating to Marri”-or in other words, brutal. She met her main investors in the Female Institutions Fund by using the cold online awareness model for the company. I also asked her investors at Sie Ventures if they could make a warm introduction to the FFF team.

Civalo said: “As it turned out, both tracks are close: our application was captured through the model, and Sie was able to link me directly with ANU. This mixture is a work.”

Among the other investors in the tour are Feel Ventures and General Electric Company.

As CEFALO said, the space industry passes a second revolution, especially since billionaires pour millions of dollars in marketing travel to space. Compelling includes names such as Ensample Space Labs and the task space.

Cefalo said that its company is different because Space Dots has both its devices and programs; It focuses on trade, defense and threats, instead of predicting only; Its program is also not central, which CEFALO says, makes it “more flexible and developed for future Cislunar and Multi-PBIT.

“We do not see space weather players as zero competitors. This is a field where cooperation enhances the entire ecosystem-our intelligence can connect it and amplify other services, and vice versa,” I continued.

Civalo said she will use the seed tour to expand its team in London and the United States, and prepare its technology for the upcoming space tasks. The future, for her, is a place where access to the common knowledge space rather than walled strength.

She said: “The more we understand what is happening there, the more we can protect what matters here: national infrastructure, civil safety, navigation and defense.”

“This knowledge cannot remain closed within agencies or companies; it must become a common concept, radical access, and planetary affiliation.”
