Space Industry Intelligence

What is Space Industry Intelligence?

Space Industry Intelligence is an MCP server that delivers space industry intelligence for launch risk, orbital debris, spectrum interference, and regulatory compliance to AI assistants. It orchestrates 8 parallel data sources (NASA NEO tracking, Spaceflight News, Federal Register FAA/FCC filings, Congressional legislation, USPTO patents, Data.gov orbital catalogs, OFAC sanctions, and OpenCorporates) and returns a structured Composite Space Industry Score (0–100) with per-dimension breakdowns, actionable signals, and recommendations. It is designed for launch directors, satellite insurers, space investors, defense contractors, and any professional needing rapid multi-source space intelligence.

How to use Space Industry Intelligence?

Add the server URL https://ryanclinton--space-industry-intelligence-mcp.apify.actor/mcp to an MCP‑compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) with your Apify token. Ask your AI assistant in natural language (e.g., “What is the launch risk for Falcon 9 this window?”) or call a specific tool by name. Each tool call costs $0.045, with no subscription or monthly commitment.

Key features of Space Industry Intelligence

• 5 independent scoring models (launch risk, orbital debris, spectrum interference, regulatory approval, space weather)
• Composite Space Industry Score with weighted formula (25%/25%/20%/15%/15%)
• NEO proximity risk scoring and close‑approach counting
• Regulatory barrier detection via keyword scanning of Federal Register and Congress bills
• Spectrum contention analysis across Ku‑, Ka‑, C‑, L‑, and S‑bands
• OFAC sanctions screening with confidence threshold and CLEAR/REVIEW_REQUIRED/BLOCKED verdicts
• ITAR/EAR export control flagging from Federal Register entries
• Entity verification via OpenCorporates status checks
• Launch provider comparison across 2–5 providers with ranked output
• Standby mode deployment with zero cold‑start latency

Use cases of Space Industry Intelligence

• Pre‑launch risk assessment: consolidate NEO proximity, FAA rulemaking, and industry incidents into a single launch risk score.
• Space insurance underwriting: use orbital debris, space weather, and launch provider history to differentiate risk tiers.
• Spectrum allocation monitoring: track FCC proceedings, Ka‑/Ku‑band reallocation, and satellite patent claims.
• Investor due diligence: assemble an 8‑source intelligence dossier covering regulatory risk, patents, and export control compliance.
• ITAR/EAR export control screening: combine OFAC sanctions matching with Federal Register ITAR detection and corporate verification.
• Launch provider procurement benchmarking: compare providers on composite score, risk dimensions, and structured data.

FAQ from Space Industry Intelligence

Why use Space Industry Intelligence instead of manual due diligence?

Manual pre‑launch risk assessment typically takes an analyst 4–6 hours and a provider comparison can consume a full day. This server automates the entire process, querying up to 8 sources in parallel and returning a structured report in under 2 minutes.

What data sources are used?

The server orchestrates 8 sources: NASA NEO tracking, Spaceflight News, Federal Register (FAA/FCC), Congressional legislation, USPTO patents, Data.gov orbital catalogs, OFAC SDN sanctions, and OpenCorporates corporate registries.

How is the Composite Space Industry Score calculated?

The score uses a weighted formula: launch risk 25% + regulatory approval 25% + spectrum interference 20% + orbital debris 15% + space weather 15%. Each dimension returns a 0–100 score with a labeled severity level.

What is the pricing and how do I get started?

Each tool call costs $0.045, with no subscription or monthly commitment. Add the server URL to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) with your Apify token. No installation or additional configuration is needed.

What verdicts does the sanctions screening return?

The satellite_sanctions_screen tool returns CLEAR (no OFAC SDN matches at ≥70% match score), REVIEW_REQUIRED (score 30–59), or BLOCKED (score ≥60). It also flags ITAR/EAR signals from Federal Register entries.
