SDA LLC members have spent their careers supporting the space industry, from technology development, to design, acquisition, and employment of US satellites. Our team has conducted advanced research development in support of the Space and Missile Systems Center (now United State Space Force - Space Systems Command) and the Air Force Research Lab's Space Vehicles Directorate. Our founder led software development for the satellite control network’s electronic scheduling system upgrade. The team supported PACOM at the 613th AOC, and our founder deployed to CENTCOM’s 609th CAOC and as Chief of the Collection Requirements Management, led a small team to fill intelligence gaps by tasking airborne reconnaissance and overhead ISR satellites. SDA members also contributed to the design of ORS-4’s cost-effective cubesats, and the acquisition of STPSat-5 from award through launch.

Space Defense Analytics split off from ExoAnalytic Solutions in January 2022. As contractors previously supporting Air Force Research Lab, Space Defense Analytics has experience supporting military utility analysis employing multiple software modeling tools such as SEAS, AFSIM, and ARGOS. These models have been essential to flight experiment decisions, employment of real-world assets in exercises, and tactical decisions for operational systems.

Space Defense Analytics employees operated one of the first commercial satellite tracking observatories in New Mexico. We also have access to number of commercial space domain awareness data sources in the Unified Data Library, and have built tools to process and visualize the data and determine pose changes from photometric data.
