Eclipse Space is a stealth-mode satellite infrastructure startup founded by former SpaceX engineers. The company's leadership includes CEO Derek Huerta, who previously served as a senior manager of satellite payload engineering at SpaceX. Its core focus is developing a standardized, scalable platform for satellite constellations, intended for both sovereign and commercial customers.

This model has been described as analogous to an operating system for satellite networks. Key technical domains for the firm include satellite infrastructure, megaconstellations, and satellite payload engineering.
Eclipse Space operates in the space infrastructure sector, serving the growing demand for sovereign satellite networks and commercial constellation services. Specific details regarding its founding year, team size, funding status, and current geographic footprint have not been publicly disclosed.
