Awesome article, Ian, and thank you for the shout out to Epsilon3! We're honored and excited to be supporting all these amazing space companies in YC and beyond and helping to enable the future of exploration.

Amazing! Super awesome team and very useful technology.

That's an interesting idea. We plan to eventually support some level of decentralization and syncing while starting with the centralized approach first.

Surprisingly, enough of them seem to!

Woo hoo! Thank you!

Sure, would love to chat. That sounds like a great opportunity for collaboration. Can you fill out the form at https://epsilon3.io/contact and we'll follow up with you?

We are planning to have some dedicated functionality to help with non-conformance, anomalies, and other related things. We also plan to integrate with JIRA for separate reasons too.

We have not implemented a standard data scheme yet, but that's a great idea. We've been letting our customers set up their own schema and structure based on their needs, but I can definitely see the value of being able to adopt an industry-standard schema, so that's a great idea.

I'd love to learn more about your use case and understand better where you're coming from on those points.

Thanks!

Yep, we are planning on hosting in other AWS regions as well. For pricing, let's discuss offline because it'll depend on a few things. Can you fill out the Contact form on our website (https://epsilon3.io/contact), and we can take it from there?

So grateful for your kind words and honored to be supporting your team!

Thank you for the kind words and great questions.

We have been very thoughtful to build as flexible a framework as possible to support all those various use cases you said (not only in our user interface but also our API). We want to give end-users across the continuum of use cases the tools they need to be able to make Epsilon3 as useful for them as possible.

We have a ton of ideas on applying ML on our side for exactly those use cases you described (metrics, analysis, reporting) but also for anomaly detection, error handling/risk reduction, and continuous improvement.

We have our job openings posted at https://angel.co/epsilon3/. We're always on the lookout for strong full-stack software engineers.

Thank you!

Thanks! That's nice to hear. You can see our job openings, which are remote-friendly, at https://angel.co/epsilon3/.

Thanks! No, the US Government can't access your data. Only you can. GovCloud is just a special portion of AWS that has extra security controls so that US companies are confident that all their data is housed in US servers and properly treated according to ITAR regulations. It's totally fine for companies outside the US to use and doesn't give the government any access.

We also support on-premises deployments if that's preferable to companies outside the US.

Nice! Thanks for great ideas and questions.

1. Building in house is expensive, slow, and painful, and most teams have better things to spend their time on. We’re helping several teams move off their in-house solution because they aren’t satisfied with it.

2. We are building out automation and scripting capabilities. We support integration with Python scripts and other local commanding destinations via our API.

3. Love the idea! We already support real-time comments that are embedded in procedures. We want to build out even more things along those lines to streamline communications.

There's a ton of time wasted in miscommunications and lost paper records or illegible handwriting on test logs. And there have been many disasters and lives lost in the past, so anything that can be done to avoid that is worth seriously considering. Plus we make it a nicer experience and way faster.

Cheers! Thank you!

https://orbitalindex.com/ is an amazing resource.

https://jatan.space/ is another that I follow.

Payload Research newsletter rocks too: https://mailchi.mp/payloadresearch/bezos-leaves-earth?e=e515...

There's even a Slack bot to be notified of launches (most of which you don't hear about on the news): https://groundcontrolbot.space/

So excited to be part of Epsilon3 and helping so many awesome companies with their testing and operations.

I hope everyone saw the recent epic Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic flights. Those are just the first small step in what's to be a very exciting future. Epsilon3 wants to eventually help so many more people go to space. Now that we’ve had two billionaires go up to space, maybe someone in the HN community can be next?
