EraDrive

EraDrive develops compact, AI-powered self-driving modules that bring autonomy to spacecraft. Its core product enables critical onboard functions such as navigation, control, collision avoidance, and visual awareness directly in orbit. The company leverages advanced AI-powered vision to allow spacecraft to operate intelligently and precisely in the complex space environment, serving both commercial and military applications with robust capabilities.

The company was co-founded by Sumant Sharma, PhD, who serves as CEO, and Justin Kruger, PhD, the CTO. Their collective insight stems from decades of dedicated research in space rendezvous and significant flight heritage, which led to their concentrated effort on scaling autonomy solutions for space. This deep expertise forms the foundation of EraDrive’s approach to enhancing spacecraft operations and safety.

EraDrive’s dual-use platform caters to both commercial and government missions, providing essential tools for operating in an increasingly congested orbital environment. The company's long-term vision aims to empower every spacecraft with autonomy while simultaneously building a real-time, space-wide traffic intelligence network. This initiative seeks to ensure space safety, security, and sustainability for future generations of space activities.
