Kayhan Space Opens Orbit to Wall Street with New AI Intelligence Tool

DENVER, CO – March 20, 2026 – In a move set to bridge the gap between the complexities of outer space and the demands of modern finance, Kayhan Space today launched Satcat Terminal, an AI-powered intelligence service providing investors, insurers, and financial professionals with their first direct window into the real-time activity of satellites orbiting Earth. The platform aims to demystify the multi-billion-dollar industry of on-orbit assets, offering asset-level analytics that were previously the exclusive domain of highly technical space operations teams.

With public and private space investments soaring past $73 billion in 2024, the financial sector has increasingly sought reliable metrics to value companies and manage risk in the burgeoning space economy. Kayhan Space’s new terminal arrives to meet that demand, leveraging a powerful AI chat agent that allows users to query vast amounts of orbital data in plain language. This development coincides with a major milestone for the company: its foundational platform, Satcat Operations, now coordinates over 90% of all operational satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for more than 50 different operators, establishing it as the world's largest commercial space traffic coordination system.

Wall Street's New Telescope: AI Unlocks Orbital Insights

Satcat Terminal is being positioned as the “Bloomberg Terminal for space,” a tool designed to translate the intricate physics of orbital mechanics into actionable business intelligence. For the first time, an investment analyst can ask, “Is Constellation X expanding on schedule?” or “Show me unusual maneuvers for Satellite Y over the last quarter,” and receive a clear, data-supported answer in seconds. This eliminates the steep learning curve traditionally associated with space situational awareness (SSA).

“The value tied to on-orbit assets is enormous and growing faster than ever. Space has become a mainstream investment category, and the range of professionals who need real visibility into what's happening in orbit goes well beyond the satellite operators we've always served,” said Dr. Siamak Hesar, Co-Founder and CEO of Kayhan Space, in a statement. “Satcat Terminal gives investors and enterprises direct access to real-time intelligence, enabling more informed decision-making and supporting the continued growth of the space economy.”

The platform is built upon a continuously updated catalog of more than 36,000 tracked objects. This includes over 11,000 satellites with daily-refreshed trajectories, 15,000 high-risk debris objects, and hundreds of unidentified objects. The system’s AI curates this torrent of data to surface significant events, track fleet-wide performance, and benchmark constellations against their competitors, offering a new layer of due diligence for anyone with financial exposure to the final frontier.

From Defense Contracts to a Commercial Data Goldmine

Kayhan Space’s ability to launch such a sophisticated commercial product stems from its deep roots as a trusted government and defense contractor. Founded in 2019, the U.S.-owned company has developed advanced spaceflight intelligence solutions for NASA, the U.S. Space Force, NOAA, and DARPA. Satcat Terminal is built on the same battle-tested platform that these critical agencies and the world’s top satellite operators rely on for collision avoidance and traffic coordination.

This strategic pivot from a government-focused service provider to a commercial data powerhouse illustrates a growing trend of dual-use technology finding lucrative applications in the private sector. While competitors like Slingshot Aerospace and Vyoma also offer advanced SSA services, they primarily target satellite operators. Kayhan’s unique selling proposition is its purpose-built interface and AI-driven accessibility for the financial community, a market that has been largely underserved.

By leveraging its existing, proven infrastructure, Kayhan Space has created a significant moat. The trust and reliability established through its Satcat Operations platform, which is used by over 1,000 professionals daily, lends immediate credibility to its new commercial offering. This move capitalizes on years of development and validation in one of the most demanding environments, effectively transforming national security-grade technology into a tool for market analysis.

Insuring Billions in an Increasingly Crowded Sky

The launch of Satcat Terminal is particularly timely for the space insurance industry, which is grappling with unprecedented risk. As the LEO satellite market races toward a valuation of over $8.4 billion, the orbits they occupy are becoming dangerously congested. Traditional actuarial models are proving inadequate for assessing the dynamic risk of on-orbit collisions.

Insurers are shifting toward proactive, data-driven risk management, and Satcat Terminal provides the exact toolset needed for this evolution. The platform offers real-time data on “close-approach” events involving satellites and debris across all orbital regimes. An underwriter can now analyze a satellite’s operational environment, assess the frequency of its conjunction warnings, and even perform post-mortem analysis on a lost asset before processing a claim. This capability allows for more accurate pricing of insurance policies and promotes safer operational behavior, as ESG-aligned frameworks that reward sustainable mission design become more common.

The system’s comprehensive view—covering everything from individual satellite health to space weather events—provides the critical intelligence needed to protect billions of dollars in assets. It enables insurers and financiers to move from being passive capital providers to active stakeholders in orbital safety and sustainability.

Balancing Transparency and Mission Confidentiality

Democratizing access to orbital data naturally raises questions about security and confidentiality. Kayhan Space has proactively addressed these concerns by designing Satcat Terminal to run exclusively on publicly available and partner-sourced data. The company has been explicit that the platform does not expose any satellite operator’s proprietary or sensitive mission information.

This approach aims to strike a crucial balance: improving transparency across the broader space economy to enhance safety and stability, while respecting the confidentiality essential for commercial and government operations. This aligns with the goals of international bodies like the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), which has long advocated for greater data sharing to protect space-based services.

Furthermore, Kayhan's close work with U.S. government bodies, including its selection for the Office of Space Commerce’s Commercial Pathfinder Project for Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), demonstrates its commitment to shaping a regulated and secure space environment. By providing a trusted, neutral source of data, the platform has the potential to become a foundational element of the financial and regulatory infrastructure that will govern the next phase of space exploration and commerce.
