About Space REDI

Space REDI is a software company. Its product is SPOK, a tool that models how a spacecraft works. SPOK joins engineering data to mission and flight rules. The site says it shows the pathway behind each answer. The company is at an early access stage.

The site describes a problem in spacecraft operations. It says operations still depend on large teams of experts. The site cites a GAO figure that 30 to 40 percent of a U.S. Air Force satellite program budget goes to operations and maintenance. It also cites 2023 space insurance claims of $1.43 billion.

The site says launches are growing. It lists 1,263 payloads launched in 2020 and 4,526 launched in 2025. It says launch costs fell from about $54,500 per kilogram on the Shuttle to about $2,700 per kilogram on Falcon 9.

The company says SPOK is traceable and deterministic. The site says this lets a mission assurance board check the work. It says the tool shows where each answer came from. The site contrasts this with black box AI.

The team includes CEO Gary Schneider and Director of Spaceflight Operations Patrick Ream. Ream is a former NASA flight controller for the ISS and Artemis. Other team members include Jake Shampine as CTO and Sam Atwood, PhD, as Chief Engineer. Advisors include Erik Antonsen, former chair of NASA's Human System Risk Board.

The company has backing from Techstars, Starburst Aerospace Space-H, and Capital Factory. The site lists a Texas A and M Aerospace capstone. The site's footer names the company as a Techstars portfolio company.

The site asks spacecraft teams to start with their documentation. The company then builds a model and returns a gap report. The site also has a general contact form.
