Who this is for

When a hurricane knocks out cell towers, responders and families lean on satellites for emergency communications, damage imagery, and flood maps. Those satellites face a hazard of their own: solar radiation storms, which are more frequent near solar maximum. Most small satellites can only shut down and wait for instructions, so services go dark exactly when people need them.

What Lifeline does

A few compute-capable hub satellites forecast who will be exposed next and protect the rest of the fleet before the radiation arrives, moving critical services to shielded peers. An early-warning cascade looks further ahead: an ML screener flags risky solar flares, and Grok vision verifies each warning against real solar and coronagraph images. Operators get a Grok Voice copilot. The same protection applies to satellites that watch energy infrastructure, such as methane-leak and grid monitoring.
