Starfish Space uses Google Cloud to accelerate satellite servicing in orbit

The Defense Industrial Base and Federal System Integrator communities face pressures to innovate and improve efficiency. Cloud technology from Google Public Sector assists these organizations in achieving their goals. Starfish Space uses a software-first approach to satellite servicing, which contrasts with traditional hardware-heavy methods. Their "Otter" vehicle aims to extend satellite lifespans and offer disposal services. Crucially, the development of autonomous docking software requires extensive testing through simulations. Starfish Space chose Google Cloud for its scalable infrastructure, especially Google Compute Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine. These tools enable the company to run millions of complex Monte Carlo simulations efficiently. This reduces development costs and accelerates timelines, allowing for rapid iteration on the software. Starfish Space has secured important mission contracts for its Otter satellites. Google Public Sector's cloud solutions facilitate critical missions by enabling efficient high-performance computing and simulations.
