Lodestar

Autonomous AI that operates in orbit

Lodestar is building an AI system meant to run entirely on its own in orbit, making decisions in space without human operators directing it. The company applies this technology to national security problems and to the needs of military users, and it sees this work as groundwork for people eventually living beyond Earth. Every employee is held accountable for that mission rather than a narrow job scope, and staff are expected to take full ownership of outcomes and work with a high degree of independence.
