A Sydney space start-up is better than NASA at identifying the multitude of mysterious objects circling the planet at insane and potentially dangerous speeds.
Trying to decide whether to look for more capital during the tech wreck probably isn’t the biggest problem facing William Crowe, the co-founder and chief executive of the space start-up HEO Robotics.
So business is good, says Crowe, and a cash injection from another funding round isn’t urgent. The start-up still has money from its last capital raising that was backed by the US start-up accelerator Y Combinator and YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim, among others., meaning HEO Robotics could suddenly face competition from America’s huge space industry, isn’t a big problem for Crowe either.
Having access to more cameras on more satellites would shorten that wait considerably, says Crowe, so the start-up is building its own cameras in the hope of convincing customers of its new satellite-inspection platform, “HEO Inspect”, to mount them on their own satellites before launch, so they could be used to photograph other satellites as they whip past.
