About Orca Aerospace
At Orca, we are focused on creating the future of spacecraft operations by moving control onto the vehicle. By allowing AI models to control the satellite using deterministic tooling, we are able to achieve the same holistic, high-quality decisions on "what" to do to carry out a mission while maintaining the safety of systems that decide "how" to execute it.
