About Radha Krishna Kavuluru

I am a space technology executive with experience spanning national space programs, deep-tech startups, and international mission operations, having worked across the full value chain from mission conception and ground segment design to commercialization and global delivery of space capabilities. My career has been anchored in leadership roles at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Dhruva Space, and international deployments including AGEOS, giving me a systems-level and business-level view of the space ecosystem. Across these roles, I have led mission-critical programs, organizational-level customers, and revenue pipelines, working closely with government, commercial, and international stakeholders. I have contributed to mission design and planning, ground station budgets, data dump simulations, space situational awareness and satellite tracking, and operational readiness for large programs such as NISAR. I have also led and overseen strategic platforms for geospatial data dissemination and quality assurance, supported payload calibration and validation, and worked on AI-driven satellite imagery analytics. This combination of technical credibility, operational insight, and commercial leadership now informs my transition into building technology focused on advancing scalable, resilient, and globally relevant space technologies.

      Agentic AI for the Space Economy: Autonomous Satellites, Robotics, and Earth Intelligence

      The rapid expansion of the global space economy is generating unprecedented volumes of data and increasingly complex operational challenges. Traditional AI systems have largely focused on narrow tasks such as image classification or anomaly detection. However, the next frontier lies in agentic AI systems that can perceive, reason, and act autonomously across multiple components of the space ecosystem. This talk explores how agentic AI can enable a new generation of autonomous space capabilities, spanning satellite Earth observation, robotic spacecraft operations, and intelligent ground infrastructure. We will discuss AI agentic workflow examples that detect vehicles and strategic assets from satellite imagery, support autonomous robotic docking and inspection, and optimize ground station networks for efficient satellite communications.
