Ramon.Space has raised $17.5 million in funding to continue development of the company’s supercomputing solutions for space.
The company builds space resilient super-computing systems using software to determine what is written, applied and processed in space. The use of software in space has typically been limited due to the hardware needed to support it and not being able to withstand the harsh conditions of a vacuum.
The supercomputing solution from Ramon.Space would allow these applications to be developed, updated and adapted in real-time, creating new possibilities for space satellite payloads and deep space missions.
The funding was led by StageOne Ventures, Deep Insight, WorldQuant Ventures, UMC Capital and existing inventor Grove Ventures.
The computing platforms for space are unable to withstand the high radiation levels and polarizing temperatures in space, causing them to deteriorate or malfunction. Ramon.Space uses virtual radiation-hardened technology that can thrive in the hard conditions of space.
The company said it can transform satellites into smart and autonomous machines, extending the life of these devices by providing service agility in the form of in-orbit upgrades.
