COMSPOC

What COMSPOC does

COMSPOC Corporation is a private US space-situational-awareness (SSA) software company headquartered in Exton, Pennsylvania. The company was founded in 2014 within Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) and became an independent entity in 2020 via a spin-out that transferred $500M of intellectual property and $90M of early-stage investment, alongside a team carrying 34+ years of accumulated SSA experience. Its customer base is concentrated in US national security and government space operations, including the US Space Force, with emerging commercial satellite operator and international reach.

The company's core product is SSASuite, a commercial off-the-shelf SSA platform that ingests and fuses data from all sensor types across all orbit regimes (LEO, MEO, GEO, and Cislunar) into a continuously updated space object catalog. SSASuite is complemented by three desktop products — Space Event Generator (SEG) for simulation and training, Space Object Threat Assessment (SOTA) for vulnerability analysis, and Orbit Determination Space Situational Awareness (ODSSA), an Ansys ODTK plugin — plus Spacebook, a free visualization and data portal with API access. Underlying technology is rooted in eight generations of commercial innovation dating to the EKFSOD (Extended Kalman Filter + Smoother Orbit Determination) originally created for the NRO in the 1970s, with ongoing research conducted through the in-house Center for Space Standards and Innovation (CSSI).

COMSPOC operates an enterprise field-sales motion augmented by a global reseller network (Agenium, Ansys/AGI, GMSPAZIO, ITGlobe, LSAS, Nova Systems, SAMKALPA, Seshat, Sumisho Aero-Systems) and strategic sensor-data partners (Kratos, THOTHX, Spaceflux, OurSky). The VEDCOMSPOC joint venture with SAMKALPA addresses the Indian market. Revenue is generated primarily through on-premises software licensing of SSASuite and the desktop products to government agencies, defense organizations, and satellite operators, with no public pricing disclosed. Founded-side standards leadership includes the Space Safety Coalition (established 2019) and affiliations with the Commercial Spaceflight Federation and CCSDS.
