Satellite & Space Infrastructure

Stop treating satellites like dumb terminals. Start building orbital infrastructure that thinks for itself.

Satellite & Space Infrastructure

You're building LEO constellations, deep space networks, satellite mesh systems. But your satellites still phone home for basic decisions. Your spectrum coordination happens through manual APIs that can't keep up with orbital dynamics. Your data routing breaks the moment ground links go down.

Space infrastructure needs space-native data management.

Source gives you a verifiable database that runs directly on satellites — no ground dependency, no custom sync protocols, no single points of failure. With DefraDB, your orbital nodes become autonomous: they coordinate spectrum usage, route data peer-to-peer, and maintain cryptographic verification across communication gaps.

The Technical Debt That Kills Innovation

You came here to build distributed space systems, not to debug ground-based bottlenecks:

Your satellites work great — until they need to coordinate without ground control

Spectrum conflicts get discovered hours later because coordination happens through centralized registries

Data routing depends on ground stations that create latency and failure points

Cross-party data sharing requires building custom access control for every mission partner, government agency, and commercial operator

You're writing authorization logic for satellite-to-satellite, satellite-to-ground, and multi-tenant data access scenarios

AI models can't learn collaboratively across constellations because federated learning breaks during communication gaps

Compliance and audit trails mean custom logging systems for every regulatory jurisdiction and mission requirement

Debugging distributed state across orbital networks means waiting for telemetry dumps

Every ground dependency and every custom governance system limits what your distributed space systems can actually accomplish.

Build space systems that actually work in space

DefraDB embeds directly on satellite compute modules.

No more custom protocols. No more waiting for ground contact to resolve conflicts. No more choosing between autonomous operation and data consistency.

What becomes possible:

Autonomous spectrum coordination

Satellites use conflict-free data structures to coordinate frequency usage and handoffs in real-time

Peer-to-peer data routing

Direct satellite-to-satellite data transfer without ground relay dependencies

Verifiable state management

Every allocation and data transfer is cryptographically signed and conflict-free

Cross-platform coordination

CRDTs handle synchronization across different satellite platforms and operators

Distributed AI training

Enable federated learning across constellations with automatic handling of communication gaps

Communication-gap resilience

Satellites operate with full context during extended blackout periods

Distributed debugging

Time-travel queries let you reconstruct system state across the entire orbital network
