AxionOrbital Space Launches: SOTA Foundation Models for 24/7 Earth Observation

AxionOrbital Space recently launched!

The Team

The founders are Computer Vision researchers who have lived this problem.

• Dhenenjay Yadav** (CEO):** ML Engineer at ISRO, RL Researcher at IIMA.
• Atharva Peshkar** (CTO):** PhD CS (CU Boulder), Researcher at Harvard VCG.

Visibility is everything. It drives defense strategies, market predictions, and disaster response. Being able to see the ground truth, regardless of weather or time of day is how modern intelligence information asymmetry is created. Yet, 70% of the time the world is effectively blind. Clouds, smoke, and darkness render standard optical satellites useless two-thirds of the time.

Today, AxionOrbital Space is changing that. They are introducing ORION.

‍

ORION is the most advanced Earth Observation model ever created, making continuous visibility possible. It has a FID score of 30.24, beating the current SOTA C-DiffSET by 19.23% on the MSAW benchmark. It also crushed every competitor with a SSIM score of 0.60.

It eliminates the critical visibility gap and removes the physical constraints of traditional Earth Observation. Axion's model converts RADAR (SAR) into very high resolution optical satellite imagery which is fully anchored in the radar signal and instantly understandable to humans.

This unlocks total Planetary Awareness. Orion pierces through smoke, clouds, and night to create a seamless 24/7 stream of high res optical imagery.

By transforming complex radar signals into clear visual data, they enable industry grade alpha for hedge funds/HFTs, situational awareness for defense, crop monitoring for agriculture, and intelligent planning for urban planners.

‍

AxionOrbital Space is releasing Orion with capabilities that redefine the state-of-the-art:

• Unmatched Fidelity: Orion achieved the highest ever FID score of 30.24, surpassing the current SOTA (C-DiffSET) by 19.23% on the MSAW benchmark. They do not hallucinate buildings; the physically anchored priors reveal the ground truth exactly as it exists. Axion also achieved a new SOTA SSIM score of 0.60.
• Real-Time Latency: While standard diffusion models take a few seconds to generate an image, Orion runs in 0.06 seconds.
• Total Visibility: Whether it is 3 AM, raining, or covered in smoke, Orion maintains full operational visibility.

‍

The founders built Orion to power the world’s most critical operations:

• For Defense & Intelligence: Operators can track vehicle/troop movement in total darkness or through heavy smoke during reconnaissance operations.
• For Traders: Analysts can measure global oil supply by analysing oil rigs and wells 24/7, rather than relying on outdated clear-sky data.
• For Agriculture & Climate: Agencies can map flood lines through heavy storm clouds to coordinate disaster response instantly, rather than waiting for weather conditions to improve.

The Ask

AxionOrbital Space is deploying via API or on-prem/edge for enterprise clients. They are looking for introductions to enterprises who require continuous visibility:

1. Defense & Intelligence: Decision-makers requiring 24/7 ISR capabilities.
2. Finance: HFTs and Commodity Traders needing an edge in supply chain monitoring.
3. Satellite Data Aggregators/Analytics: If you buy SAR/Optical data and sell data products.
4. SAR/Optical Satellite Providers: If you own a constellation, partner up with Axion.
5. Agri/Climate/Others: If you are anyone who uses high res, high frequency satellite images, feel free to dm the founders.
