The 45-Minute Blind Spot
Right now, when a rocket launches anywhere on Earth, it takes 45+ minutes for unclassified confirmation — cobbled together from social media, OSINT feeds, and secondhand reports. No coordinates. No geospatial verification. Just noise.
Meanwhile, 350+ launches are projected for 2026 alone. The space domain is getting more congested, more contested, and more consequential — and the awareness gap is widening every quarter.
LaunchDetect's ARTGIS service closes it in under 30 minutes. Automatically. Globally. 24/7.
274+ launches detected and counting — every one cataloged, geolocated, and verified from unclassified satellite thermal data. No classified dependencies. No manual workflows. No coverage gaps.
