Our Story

Founded in 2017 by Caltech, MIT and Carnegie Mellon grads, each with almost three decades of experience in successfully commercializing and transacting AI / aerospace technologies, NOVI is solving some of the biggest problems associated with today’s Earth Observation (EO) services.

​

NOVI’s on-board edge computing and low-cost multi-sensor satellites significantly reduce cost, complexity and latency associated with usage of space-based data, democratizing access for all to enable widespread adoption and usage of EO capabilities (which are estimated to add $3.8T to the economy by 2030). The company has already delivered flight edge processing hardware to STP for in-space testing on the ISS as part of the H10 mission. It is also launching another spacecraft on the Transporter 12 mission in Oct 2024 that incorporates its SP240 edge processor based on the AMD Versal architecture.

 

The NOVI team is collocated in Arlington, VA outside of DC, and has deep domain knowledge and experience in the full satellite hardware / software life-cycle including mission CONOPS and requirements development, integrated spacecraft design, hardware fabrication and procurement, AI&T, launch and regulatory licensing support, and in-space mission-operations.
