NOVI provides real-time, low-cost Earth observation insights by processing satellite data on orbit so users receive actionable information faster and with less data downlink. The company builds low size-weight-and-power on-board computers and an open-access constellation platform (VISTAsat/GENIE) that run AI and machine-learning models for edge processing, autonomy, and space domain awareness. NOVI operates as a space compute and AI infrastructure provider and offers SaaS-like access to processed geospatial products for government and commercial customers. Its technology stack centers on AI/ML, satellite hardware, on-board computing, and edge computing to reduce latency, cost, and data volume. NOVI serves markets including defense, government, and commercial EO with proven contracts and planned satellite launches to scale operations.
