At Shield Space, we believe the future of the space industry lies in software-defined solutions that deliver significant cost savings and operational simplicity for both military and commercial space users.
Built on battlefield-proven UAS systems, our products bring responsive decision-making to on-orbit platforms. Our core software, Orbital Eyes, enables nano satellites and above to operate independently, detecting, tracking, and responding to threats in real time without requiring persistent uplink, constant access to global Space Domain Awareness networks, or costly operations teams.
Future Products
Orbital Eyes
A vision-based autonomy stack for CubeSat-class platforms and above, enabling fully autonomous RPO, inspection, and station-keeping using onboard optical sensors and edge compute. Built from the Venom UAS autonomy system and retrained for space, Orbital Eyes brings operationally proven logic to orbit at rapid pace.
Orbital Sentinel
A deployable CubeSat inspection platform running Orbital Eyes on a propulsive CubeSat-class bus. Designed for both commercial use cases such as autonomous docking and resupply, and sovereign defence applications like persistent inspection, Sentinel forms the foundation for distributed, proliferated space control at a mass and price point accessible to allied users.
Orbital Shield
The future of space deterrence: clustered constellations of taskable satellites operating with shared logic, formation autonomy, and real-time decision-making to deliver sovereign effect. Orbital Shield is our long-term roadmap to transform the UK into a credible space power.
Rewriting Space Control with autonomy forged in the air.
