Building the first standard OS for satellites

Today’s satellites are like personal computers in the 1980s—niche technology, insecure, and accessible only to a few specialists. The satellite industry lacks a common software foundation, limiting scalability and innovation and creating a major security risk.

Parsimoni is changing that with SpaceOS, a secure-by-design unikernel operating system built for shared payloads and software-defined satellites. By standardizing the deployment of satellite in-orbit software, SpaceOS enables faster time to orbit, lower costs, and new business models for the rapidly growing space economy.

Just as Microsoft standardized the PC software layer and unlocked mass adoption, Parsimoni aims to become the “Microsoft of Space”—establishing the software standard for satellite operations and powering a wave of exponential growth in the space industry.

The Problem(s)

Satellites can deliver tremendous value - but the value they provide today is not optimal - which is not surprising, considering that their maturity is similar to that of personal computers from the 80’s:

Satellites reflect these challenges from the 80’s, and also add some new ones:
