Company profile
researched Aug 2026TRL11 develops a visual intelligence platform for spacecraft operators, combining camera payloads, onboard edge processing, downlink handling and mission software into a single integrated stack. The company frames its platform around five stages — capture, process, transmit, operate and share — connecting imaging hardware in orbit to operators on the ground and to public-facing content distribution.
The product line consists of configurable camera payloads marketed under the names BICLOPS, TRICLOPS, QUADCLOPS, QUADCLOPS Pro and SAVER + FOVEA. These are mapped to four mission use cases: situational awareness (full-motion video of the immediate orbital domain, with anomaly detection and object characterization), proximity operations (machine-vision guidance for autonomous rendezvous, docking and object tracking), mission assurance (fusing video with telemetry, anomaly detection and prioritized downlink), and domain awareness (identifying, tracking and characterizing objects from metric observation to resolved imagery at 20–50 km). Payload ecosystem software detects objects and events onboard and initiates rapid downlink of prioritized, actionable data to the mission operator.
Business model
TRL11 supplies visual intelligence payloads together with algorithms, data architecture and content delivery, configured bespoke for each customer mission in collaboration with its engineering team.
Traction
Selected by Portal Space Systems for the Starburst-1 ESPA-class RPO demonstration launching on SpaceX Transporter-18 in Q4 2026, and by Vast for video systems on the Haven-1 commercial space station; partnered with Starris on a dual-use RPO and space domain awareness camera system.
Latest developments
Announced partnership with Starris on a dual-use RPO and SDA camera system combining TRL11 cameras with Starris monolithic telescopes; selections by Portal Space Systems for the Starburst-1 mission and by Vast for Haven-1 video systems.
