They’re recreating space on Earth to build autonomous satellites that can dock in orbit. We went inside @AuleSpace’s office in Bangalore and discovered: / Harsh lighting to simulate space / Dark rooms to train computer vision models / Clean rooms where every particle is controlled Watch the full office tour below.

We’re excited to share that Aule Space has been awarded grant funding by @INSPACeIND, Government of India, to support the Department of Space (DoS)'s vision of bringing unprecedented autonomy to space missions. For more details: inspace.gov.in/inspace?id=res…

We’re expanding the crew at Aule to build the robotic workforce for space. Join us to solve the hardest problems in space today that few in the world have dared to attempt.  You will design, test & fly! satellites that can dock with objects in space. aule.space/careers

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 2026 🚀 🛰️ Stoked to share that Operators Studio has participated in the $2M pre-seed round of @AuleSpace, led by @piventures. Aule has an audacious mission to build autonomous satellites that are designed to approach, inspect, dock with, and physically attach to other objects in orbit to extend their operational life, inspect assets, or enable controlled retirement. Think of it like a jetpack in space! I found another framing of the company even more compelling - if you think about it, Aule is essentially building robotics for the space economy. Wild! I must confess that when I first ran into @intothejaytrix at an @join_ef event in SF last year, I couldn't understand what he was trying to build. Though his insanely frizzy hairdo, combined with a bit of a "Back to the Future" vibe, definitely caught my eye :) All credit to @sanjaynath for pushing me to meet his fellow BITS'ian. Over a 2 hour coffee in the West Portal neighborhood of SF, I absorbed Jay's backstory, all that he learnt at Pixxel, and the audacity of Aule's vision. Most importantly, I was super-impressed that this kid was thinking global from Day 0, gatecrashing conferences in DC, hobnobbing with US space & defense veterans, and signing LOIs with large European design partners. I committed to invest on the spot. After a few weeks, meeting @NithyaashreeG, Hrishit Tambi, and the rest of the team at their then-makeshift workshop in Bangalore convinced me even more that this team of true builders is here to stay. India-to-the-world Space-tech is one of the core themes for Operators Studio. @AuleSpace joins Astrophel Aerospace in our space-tech family of companies 🛰️ Aule is also part of my focus on backing campus founders - a bunch of the founding team is @bitspilaniindia 2024 and started tinkering on campus itself during undergrad. Finally, Aule Space joins the ranks of other disruptive BITS'ian startups in the Operators Studio portfolio, including Loop AI - Delivery Intelligence Platform, @confidohealth, and @NuportRobotics (+ few more in the works!). PS: The Aule team is actively hiring. If you find their mission compelling, reach out now!

It's hard to comprehend how much latent value is floating up in space, waiting for visionary founders with high pain tolerances to reach up and capture it. Something as unassuming as the mechanism by which spacecraft connect to one other is a multi-million dollar opportunity.

🚨 BREAKING: Bengaluru-based @AuleSpace has raised a $2M pre-seed to develop satellite-agnostic docking tech.

Had a great time speaking about my favourite missions, especially the Westar-6 retrieval. Thanks to @ananyabananyaa @adadithya @Neerjargon and the team @AlterMagIndia @PixxelSpace for putting together such a wonderful event @khushhhi_ kudos on writing such a wonderful piece

Kind of insane what kids these days are building. Show some love for @AuleSpace - figuring out satellite maintenance! I love how @AlterMagIndia allows us to find such fascinating people and learn.

We are hiring! hip-saturn-6d8.notion.site/Join-Aule-Spac… We need the smartest folks to solve the hardest problems in space: 2 satellites flying at 7.5 km/s, approaching with near-0 relative velocity, balancing the dance of gravitational disturbances and control oscillations… and finally docking

Randomly met @harshamjty while eating chaat @harshamjty

The team has been on a roll - Pulled an all-nighter for a submission - Still made it to the gym - And got around to a long overdue cleanup The beauty lies between chaos and discipline

Ahem👽

@accelindia @prashanthp @prayanks hosted one of the best events of the year for hardware folks: Advanced Manufacturing Summit. And it was crazy!!! India is going all-in on hardware and manufacturing. The next decade belongs to sovereign builders, companies that will define global standards from Indian soil. @AuleSpace, we’re building the autonomy in space, and it was incredible to be part of a room full of people who are just as ambitious about India’s hardware future. Grateful to be in the room with visionaries like @SomanathSpeak @sudhirmishraone @srinathr155. The movement is real. 💪🇮🇳

this team is going places, keep an eye on them!

Inspired by what my BITS Pilani juniors are working on at Aule Space . A satellite that will repair and refuel other satellites... in SPACE! #BITSPilani All the best @intothejaytrix 🚀

This was fun. Can’t wait for what’s next! 🚀

Me pitching to @mrgirish SaaS- Services as a Satellite. Now expect SaaSAntariksh along with SaaSBoomi.😉

Excited to share that @AuleSpace has been selected for the @nvidia Inception Program for startups!🚀 With access to NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated platforms, we can now train and deploy our docking autonomy models faster than ever and bring autonomous satellite servicing to life!

May the force be with you

Got a chance to meet Crew 8 Astronaut @Astro_Jeanette 😇 She shared the incident when russian spacecraft Resurs P1 broke up in 200 pieces and poised a threat to astronauts on board ISS (Including @Astro_Suni). Space Debris is a real threat, we need to start acting today!
