Ubotica Technologies, a AI for space firm based in DCU Alpha, has signed a letter of intent with satellite manufacturing and launch services provider Phantom Space.

The partnership sets the stage for a leap forward in Earth Observation, unlocking near-real-time insights by processing critical data directly in orbit faster, more efficiently, and with sharper precision.

Ubotica’s solution is being used in nine active space missions to reduce data bottlenecks, cut transmission costs, and enable high-speed decision-making from orbit.

Phantom Space, founded in 2019, is led by industry veterans with a track record of over 60 satellite missions and 11 launch vehicles. Its Phantom Cloud platform is designed to eliminate delays in EO data delivery, enabling satellites to analyse and transmit actionable intelligence without waiting for ground-based processing.

“We’re bringing intelligence to the edge, literally,” said Fintan Buckley, CEO and founder of Ubotica. “Our AI meets Phantom’s platform right where the action happens, unlocking a new class of agile, responsive satellites.”

The partnership also expands access to third party satellite operators, offering plug-and-play onboard processing even for missions lacking native compute power. Whether it’s detecting wildfires, tracking vessels at sea, or supporting global communications, this collaboration positions Phantom and Ubotica at the forefront of the next era in space-based intelligence.

Jim Cantrell, CEO and co-founder of Phantom Space, added: “Ubotica’s cutting-edge tech is a perfect fit for Phantom Cloud. Together, we’re creating a space ecosystem that thinks faster, costs less, and delivers the kind of real-time insight that makes a difference on the ground.”
