GroundZero Space (GZS) addresses critical orbital threats through a modular, scalable Space Situational Awareness sensor network with AI-native architecture and blockchain-verified provenance. Founded by aerospace professionals Sai Vallapureddy and Dr. Kathiravan Thangavel, GZS delivers sovereign Space Domain Awareness (SDA), autonomous collision avoidance, and Space Traffic Management (STM) to satellite operators, defence agencies, and space stakeholders.
GZS tracks and analyses 130,000+ orbital objects with high precision. The decentralised data bank and rapid response architecture ensures continuous monitoring and swift operational adjustments to evolving space conditions.
GZS uses ground and space-based sensors with AI-native processing for enhanced Resident Space Object (RSO) detection, tracking, identification, classification, and collision prediction. The blockchain-verified decentralised data bank provides immutable provenance and transparency, eliminating vendor lock-in. The system features an autonomous failsafe with T-3hr backup when human intervention is unavailable. The system works for civilian and defence applications with proven reliability.
The primary markets include satellite operators, national space and defence agencies. The secondary market is space insurance/risk assessment, launch services, satellite communications and downstream analytics providers. Emerging markets include space traffic management, sustainability services, autonomous operations, and cis-lunar/deep space missions.
