About Galileo Space

Galileo Space builds satellites that compute in orbit for national security. We fuse RF and optical sensing onboard and downlink actionable intelligence instead of raw data so warfighters act faster. In July 2026, we delivered two live demos of RF classification and optical fusion to Space Force teams. As of September 2026, we have three signed support letters from Space Force and AFRL, six countersigned commercial imagery LOIs, and are developing our first $1.25M Space Force contract. CEO Kazi Farabi led end-to-end on-orbit testing of protected military communications satellites. CTO Tadeh Mirzakhanian led RF hardware for Starship Flights 2–9 at SpaceX. CSO Jose Serrano built on-device machine learning for Google Photos.
