True Anomaly
True Anomaly builds spacecraft and software, including the Jackal satellite and Mosaic platform, to help the U.S. military protect assets and operate in contested orbit.
True Anomaly designs and manufactures spacecraft alongside the software used to command them, with the stated aim of helping the U.S. military protect space assets and maintain superiority in orbit. Founded in 2022 by former U.S. Space Force operators, the company is based in the United States and works across defence, national security and space.
Its hardware product, Jackal, is a highly maneuverable, payload-agnostic spacecraft built for contested space environments. Multiple mission hardpoints allow it to carry a range of sensors and effectors for rendezvous and proximity operations and on-orbit threat response. Alongside it sits Mosaic, a ground-up software platform designed to translate commander intent into autonomous action, letting operators orient, decide and act with precision and speed in contested orbital environments.
Technical work at the company spans spacecraft design and manufacturing, autonomous systems, space domain awareness, rendezvous and proximity operations, on-orbit threat response, defence software platforms and payload-agnostic modular spacecraft systems. The company states a preference for speed and decisiveness over traditional defence approaches it regards as too slow, too expensive and too rigid.
