Ever been frustrated by slow data speeds? Imagine waiting hours for crucial satellite data! That's exactly what inspired the founding of Lumen Orbit (YC S24). Three brilliant minds—Ezra Feilden, Philip Johnston, and Adi Oltean—joined forces in December to tackle this issue. With $2.4M in new funding, they aim to revolutionize satellite downlink times by processing data in space. Ezra’s words sum it up perfectly: “I’ve been in the control room waiting hours for satellite data. Most of our satellites are disconnected most of the time.” Their solution? A game-changer for the space industry. How do you deal with slow data speeds?
