Basalt (Basalt Technologies Corp.) is a San Francisco spacecraft-software company building Dispatch, a simulation-based operating system for satellites that makes flight software portable across dissimilar spacecraft hardware — pitched as "Windows for spacecraft" and "Constellations as a Service." Dispatch provides a common control layer so fleets of different satellites can work together on tasking (visible, infrared, and radar imaging), in-orbit networking and telecom, signals intelligence, and monitoring or inspecting other on-orbit assets, including autonomous re-tasking for national security missions. Founded in 2023 by Max Bhatti and Alex Choi (ex-SpaceX engineers, MIT CubeSat program), Basalt is a Y Combinator W24 company that raised a $3.5M seed round led by Initialized Capital in May 2024, with participation from Y Combinator, Liquid 2 Ventures, and General Catalyst. The company publishes no public developer API, documentation, or SDK surface; this profile captures its identity and probed domain security. Sector: frontier-tech / space / defense.
