Peter Thiel led Palantir Technologies is now in space
Palantir Technologies Inc. launched its first satellite this month allowing information to be processed in orbit, instead of being gathered and sent back to Earth, a step toward broadening the applications of the data analysis software. The company, co-founded by the billionaire Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, is working with the Earth-mapping company Satellogic Inc. Palantir said its software will improve the speed and quality of data collected from space.
