Startup Creates Integration Layer for Commercial Imaging Satellites
Divergent Space Technologies, a startup based in Reston, Va., has developed a software platform designed to help the military tap into commercial imaging satellites. The system, known as GEOx, automates imagery requests across multiple providers, aiming to replace a largely manual and fragmented process with real-time coordination. The platform is already being used by some US and allied military organizations, and its development may signal a growing trend towards greater integration of commercial satellite capabilities into military operations, as reported by SpaceNews.
