API Evangelist Paper · Trend Report
The State of Space and Aerospace APIs
Forty years of machine-to-machine standards produced spacecraft that talk to each other across agencies and almost nothing a customer's agent can operate.
About this report
This report covers space infrastructure, aviation and earth observation — three adjacent industries sharing a supply chain, a regulatory culture and most of the same customers.
329 organisations classified, 50 in the upper three bands — the smallest of any market in this research. Median Kin Score 49.2, Agent Readiness 39.3.
Satellite tasking is a multi-day sequence with real dependencies and real failure modes. Every company in the earth-observation area runs it. Not one describes it in a form an agent could execute.
