Changing How We Manage Aerospace Systems
Older satellite systems required many operators using disconnected tools. This caused slower responses and made scaling operations harder as space became busier.
Hypergiant aimed to change this by designing a system that lets one person oversee and manage entire fleets of spacecraft. It helps cut down training time and sets a fresh standard for mission-critical interface design.
"Hypergiant is a unique AI enterprise that is looking to space for the answers we need here on earth."

Making Multi-Satellite Management Easier
Hypergiant's approach combined aerospace system accuracy with modern UX simplicity. This created a high-performance platform that works well for both people and machines.
- Unified Control Architecture
Mixed aerospace precision with game-like ease-of-use, boosting operator efficiency. - Operator-Focused Research
Studies on how people process information and make decisions helped shape information density and readability. - AI-Powered Tools
Smart anomaly detection and early alerts shifted monitoring from reactive to proactive. - Adaptive Ergonomics
Visual systems optimized for multiple screens and low-light environments set new operational standards.
"The industry could use a healthy dose of modernization, and Hypergiant brings that."

People-Focused Solutions for High-Stakes Environments
A structured design process turned challenging constraints into smart, practical solutions that connect human needs with technical requirements to improve performance.
Real-World Impact
This design process transformed complex aerospace challenges into user-friendly, operator-focused solutions. It proved that technical precision and visual clarity work together to boost both system performance and user confidence. These principles established a new framework that redefined satellite control standards.
Real Results
These combined improvements significantly boosted performance. Training time dropped by half, and single operators could now handle tasks that once required entire teams.
NASA veteran Jonathan Pettus praised this as "addressing the challenge of enhancing the human-machine interface with modern design principles," which fundamentally changed how satellite operations are managed.
4x Increase in Operational Capacity.
"A new tool for satellite operators could allow one ground controller to keep an eye on dozens of spacecraft at once."

First of Its Kind
HIVE became the first system to merge cinematic design with strict aerospace functionality. This combination set a new standard for digital tools in the space industry.
Real Numbers
One operator now handles 75-100 satellites compared to the usual 3-5 in the industry—a 25x jump in capacity. Training now takes weeks instead of months while keeping mission-critical accuracy.
