Muon Space

Muon Space is a Mountain View, California-based end-to-end space systems company that designs, builds, and operates mission-optimized satellite constellations to deliver Earth Intelligence and enable real-time compute and decision-making in space. Founded in 2021 by veterans of Skybox, NASA, and SpaceX, the company's core product is Muon Halo, an integrated technology stack composed of MuSim (constellation simulation and digital twin), MuOS (IP-based software-defined network middleware connecting space, ground, and cloud), MuCore (software-configurable instrument core), Condor (modular Condor-M and Condor-XL spacecraft platforms), and MuDash (cloud-based tasking, scheduling, and operations dashboard). Muon Space's flagship public mission is FireSat, a purpose-built wildfire detection and monitoring constellation developed with the Earth Fire Alliance, Google Research, and the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation; FireSat carries a high-dynamic-range multispectral IR instrument capable of detecting 5x5 meter fires across a 1,500 km swath with a 50 m nadir ground sample distance, with revisit times targeted to twenty minutes once the full constellation is operational. The Protoflight satellite produced its first-light imagery in June 2025, with the first block of three additional satellites launching in 2026 and full operational capacity targeted for 2030. Other Muon Space missions support the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force for next-generation weather monitoring, Hydrosat for thermal geospatial intelligence in climate and agriculture, and global security applications including missile-defense architecture. Muon Space's revenue model is mission contracting, spacecraft and constellation delivery, and hosted data services; there is no public developer API, SDK, or open-source release of the Halo platform or FireSat data feed.

Muon Space is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Space, Earth Observation, Satellite Constellations, Remote Sensing, and Wildfire Detection.

Muon Space’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Raise your score.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes

13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 0.0 — up to +25.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 0.0 — up to +20.0 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 2.4 — up to +19.5 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/muon-space/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/muon-space to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Space and Satellite (operators, earth observation, ground segment)	regulated	20.6 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
