Sedaro

Sedaro is a software company specializing in AI-accelerated mission simulation and digital twin technology for the aerospace, defense, and space sectors. The company builds cloud-native platforms that allow engineers and mission planners to create high-fidelity digital replicas of satellites and complex space architectures — bridging the gap between design, testing, and real-time operations.

What Sedaro Does

Sedaro’s enterprise simulation platform unifies disparate engineering tools and models into a single, scalable virtual environment. The platform supports the full lifecycle of space systems — from early design trade studies to operational decision-making — and can orchestrate large-scale simulation campaigns with thousands of design variants.

Core Capabilities

• Digital Twin Platform: Cloud-scalable simulation infrastructure for modeling satellites, constellations, and multi-domain mission architectures.
• AI-Accelerated Simulation: Machine learning integration that speeds up complex scenario analysis and enables predictive mission planning.
• Trusted Satellite Autonomy: Demonstrated on-orbit autonomous operations on LEO satellites in partnership with Shield AI and NOVI Space (August 2026).
• Secure Environments: DoD-authorized platform (IL4/IL5) deployable across classified and air-gapped networks.

Key Milestones

• June 2026: Selected by U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop a federated digital engineering platform for modeling interconnected space systems.
• August 2026: Demonstrated trusted satellite autonomy on an on-orbit LEO satellite with Shield AI’s “Hivemind” pilot, optimizing imaging tasking and battery management across physical and virtual satellites.
• September 2026: Retired Maj. Gen. Timothy A. Sejba (USSF) joins Sedaro as advisor.

Why It Matters for Bastrop County

Sedaro’s presence adds another layer to the growing aerospace and defense technology cluster forming in and around Bastrop County. With SpaceX/Starlink manufacturing Starlink satellites locally and The Boring Company headquartered here, Sedaro’s satellite simulation expertise complements the corridor’s emerging identity as a hub for space-adjacent innovation.

The company’s work with the U.S. Space Force and its partnerships with autonomy-focused firms like Shield AI position it at the intersection of national security and commercial space — two sectors with growing footprints in the greater Austin-Bastrop region.
