AxionOrbital Space

AxionOrbital Space is a Y Combinator-backed company that foundation models for 24/7 Earth Observation. The company participated in the Winter 2026 batch of Y Combinator.

AxionOrbital Space builds foundation models that enable continuous visibility through clouds and darkness. Legacy optical satellites are rendered useless 70% of the time by weather and night cycles, while Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) produces data that is unintelligible to humans and breaks standard vision pipelines.

We solve this by translating raw radar backscatter into analysis-ready optical imagery in real-time.

AxionOrbital Space was part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 cohort, has a team of approximately 2 employees, and is actively operating.
