Meet the five companies competing in the Startup Battlefield finals at Disrupt 2026

Satlyt is building software designed to allow many satellites to share the work of large computing jobs in space. The startup has already flown its software on two demonstration missions, with an initial focus on finding operational efficiencies for spacecraft. Those spacecraft typically depend on flight controllers on the ground to solve any problems that arise, with communication, so using AI to make decisions on the spacecraft can mean real savings. The next goal: to show that it can create a shared computing cloud between two satellites.
