Constellation Space is building the autonomous infrastructure layer for the next generation of space networking. As satellite constellations rapidly scale from hundreds of nodes to tens of thousands, traditional ground-based orchestration fundamentally breaks down. ConstellationOS bridges this gap by providing zero-intervention network handoffs, predictive thermal load-balancing, and sub-second optical routing. Our founding team spent years building and operating satellite systems at SpaceX, Blu
