Dunedain Space
We’re mining starlight
Space is vast. The further we look, the less we see.
We’re building the infrastructure to change that.
Capabilities
From orbits to objects
We zoom in to orbits to determine properties of the objects themselves: their position, shape, attitude, and behaviour.
Position and timing
Shape and attitude
Behaviour and change
Technology
High-speed optical imaging
We detect and measure stellar occultations: brief fluctuations in starlight caused by an object crossing a star. These reveal position, timing, and shape at even very large distances.
A distributed network of telescopes
An expanding network of telescopes, with automated operations from Chile and Spain. Our telescopes continuously scan the skies and can be quickly deployed at scale.
Team
Our team has a diverse background in physics, astronomy, computer science, engineering, and business.
