Scout

Scout (Scout Space) is a Techstars- and venture-backed space technology company founded in 2019 that builds next-generation orbital sensing and autonomy for Space Domain Awareness (SDA). Its in-space products, first launched in 2021, let spacecraft see and understand objects around them through electro-optical and infrared sensors (the Owl long-range SDA sensor line), edge processing hardware, mission autonomy software developed with the U.S. Space Force, and mission-design analysis. Scout supplies cross-orbit intelligence and dynamic space operations to government and commercial operators and has been awarded multiple AFWERX SBIR and USSF TACFI contracts. Scout does not publish a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal; this profile captures its identity and domain-security posture for the API Evangelist network.

Scout is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Space, Aerospace, Satellite, and Space Domain Awareness.
