Array Labs @ArrayLabs

Array Labs is a @ycombinator company. Today we're back with the YC community in Washington, DC for "The Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250." @andrewpetrsonn will be speaking at 1:50 PM ET.

Team Array on the ground @SmallSat in Salt Lake City 🛰️

A team from Array Labs will be at @SmallSat in Salt Lake City, August 23-26. If you're attending and want to connect, reach out.

We're proud to share that Array Labs has been awarded a contract extension from the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) to continue our study of space-based AMTI (Airborne Moving Target Indication) concepts. Read more about our work with ONR at the link below. arraylabs.io/updates/array-…

Investing in space exploration isn’t just about space. I've made this argument a lot—as an astronaut and as a senator. The pushback is always the same: why spend money up there when we have problems down here? Here's the thing: we're solving problems down here by exploring what’s up there. In 2001, I flew on Space Shuttle Endeavour to the Space Station. We carried out studies on bone density loss in microgravity. That research contributed to the development of Prolia and Xgeva, drugs now used to treat bone loss in cancer patients. People are alive today in part because we went to space. Two NASA engineers at Glenn Research Center developed a tiny implantable transmitter to monitor astronaut vital signs when they exercised in space. A company licensed and used it to build a monitor that warns heart failure patients of a potential crisis. NASA needs medical diagnostics for astronauts millions of miles from a hospital. That challenge produced a portable device that tests a single drop of blood for diabetes, kidney function, and cardiovascular disease in minutes. It's now being used by Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. It exists because we‘re working to put humans on Mars. NASA helped build the Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking system. Satellites carrying this technology link emergency beacons to rescue teams worldwide. It has helped more than 63,000 search and rescue operations. World Central Kitchen uses data from NASA's Earth Observing System satellites to build maps guiding staff distributing food and water in disaster areas. The satellites were built for science. Now, they're saving lives on the ground. I flew four shuttle missions. I know what it costs to get humans into space. The innovation that comes from pushing humans to the edge of what's possible finds its way back down here. Into hospitals, kitchens, and the hands of first responders. And also into yours. That's why I'll keep fighting for NASA's budget. Not just because I believe in science and exploration. Because I know what science and exploration makes possible here on Earth.

Last week in the Seraphim ecosystem 👇 Array Labs raised $21M with strategic backing from Mitsubishi Electric. HawkEye 360 helped NOAA locate a long-lost transmitter, restoring valuable network capacity. We also launched the Seraphim x JETRO Resilience & Growth Programme, helping 10 Japanese SpaceTech companies expand into Europe.

More proof that the 🇺🇸🇯🇵 partnership is out of this world! Combining Array Labs’ cutting-edge radar technology and Mitsubishi Electric’s satellite-manufacturing expertise, this collaboration will provide new satellite-based services for monitoring aircraft and ships. The growing commercialization of space is producing new tools for everything from maritime security to disaster response.

Congratulations to @ArrayLabs on its latest $21m raise, anchored by Mitsubishi Electric. A strong endorsement of the team's vision to bring dynamic, real-time intelligence to Earth observation. Proud to have them in the Seraphim portfolio. 🚀 Learn more: tectonicdefense.com/exclusive-arra… #SpaceTech

Congrats to @ArrayLabs on their $21M raise! They're building clusters of small, mass-manufacturable radar satellites that fly in formation and work together as one distributed sensor, delivering a continuously updated picture of everything moving on or above the Earth. Traditional satellites take static snapshots. Array's gives you real-time tracking of ships, aircraft, and missiles from orbit. They've already won contracts with the Air Force, Space Force, Navy, Army, SOCOM, and DARPA. tectonicdefense.com/exclusive-arra…
