Space weather could cost the satellite industry $40 billion in a single storm. A 15-person startup is building the forecast.

Space weather poses a serious financial threat to the rapidly growing satellite industry, with a single geomagnetic storm potentially causing $40 billion in damage. Mission Space, a 15-person startup, is building a private forecasting network using advanced ZOHAR sensors, flying on rideshare satellites to keep costs low. Their fourth payload launch signals a growing commercial push to replace slow government forecasts with real-time, high-resolution orbital data.
