Strategic intelligence
for the space sector
ABOUT
Rotoiti collects and analyzes information to provide actionable intelligence that supports space sector clients’ decision-making. All projects are bespoke, but deliverables typically include reports written in an accessible “bottom line up front” style, accompanied by verbal briefs. Throughout projects’ life cycles, Rotoiti provides clients with regular updates.
Rotoiti emphasizes working with clients early on to clearly understand their intelligence requirements. This entails in-depth discussions with clients about issues they face; to be useful, projects must support decision-making. When scoping projects, there is significant discussion about sources of information that will likely be relevant, approaches to collecting information from those sources, and useful ways of presenting and communicating analytical findings.
Business areas
Clients to date have been located in the public and private sectors in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore.
Launches
Rotoiti has worked on projects that support reaching orbit – interacting with launch service providers, spaceport operators, and others.
Spacecraft
Rotoiti has helped clients developing in-space infrastructure – projects have focused on satellites, subsystems, and space debris.
