Sedaro Wins Up to $45 Million to Expand Space Force Mission Analysis Software

Space software company Sedaro will receive up to $45 million in government funding to expand a platform that helps the U.S. Space Force analyze how different satellites, sensors and other capabilities perform together. The award marks a substantial government commitment to a software-focused space vendor.

The funding supports Sedaro's digital modeling and simulation tools for space missions. It reflects the Space Force's continued emphasis on digital engineering as a way to design and evaluate missions before hardware reaches orbit.

The platform is built to assess how a mix of satellites, sensors and other capabilities perform when operating together, giving the Space Force a way to model complex mission architectures in software. The award, valued at up to $45 million, is directed specifically at expanding that mission analysis capability.

The scale of the commitment is notable for a vendor centered on software rather than hardware. It signals where the Space Force is placing its procurement priorities as it invests in digital engineering and simulation across its programs.

For the Space Force, the bet is that software modeling can speed and de-risk mission design. A $45 million award to a specialist in the field points to the service's belief that digital simulation has a growing role in how future space missions are planned and validated. The military increasingly wants to fly missions in software before it flies them in orbit.

The award establishes the funding ceiling for Sedaro's continued work expanding the mission analysis platform for the Space Force.
