Not A Satellite Labs | Co-Founder (Mobile Sensing - iOS and/or Android) | Remote (U.S.) | https://notasatellite.com

We're building the world's first real-time map using a network of cameras aboard 120,000 daily commercial flights. Our approach lets us gather thousands of times more earth observation data at a fraction of the operational cost of building, launching, and maintaining satellites. Our competitors (Maxar, Planet, Airbus) advertise daily updates; we've demonstrated 1,430 updates on a single coordinate in early tests using just a cell phone camera.

We've recently filed 6 patents related to the core sensing methods and will be filing 6 more in Q3. We have a 3-member advisory team consisting of a retired Air Force Lt. General, CTO of a Bay-Area tech company, and the former CEO of MetroCall. I'm a technical founder looking to bring on a co-founder who can assist me with building the mobile application that handles in-flight sensing. We currently have 450 customer commitments running on a negligible burn rate and are in the process of raising our seed round.

If you'd like to hear more about the business concept, current challenges or the product roadmap, shoot me an email ([email protected]) or check us out on social media @notasatellite.




That’s a super cool concept!


Appreciate the kind words! We think so too :)


Yup, how did you even think of that! Amazing!


I remember your Show HN. It is really cool what you are doing. Good luck with this project.
