Palski & Associates, as a subcontractor to ABSI Aerospace & Defense, was awarded a contract to provide additional course material, hands-on learning capabilities and classroom instruction to the expanding Space Test Fundamentals (STF) class at the Air Force Test Pilot School (TPS), Edwards Air Force Base in CA. We are actively working to prepare for …
This summer, a Palski intern team developed an environment for simulation of autonomous RPO’s using agents trained in a Reinforcement Learning framework. The environment allows for the simulation of the actions of multiple agents simultaneously, allowing new strategies for uncooperative RPO’s to arise organically. The current iteration of this project has been used to train …
Several Palski & Associates employees went white water rafting down the Royal Gorge on a Saturday in June. This is one of the many fun outdoor activities in Colorado. This was not a company sponsored event; however, 17 employees participated and had a really fun day!
Our team had a great time in Breckenridge skiing together! Night one was a lovely Italian dinner cooked by our owners Kathryn and Mike Palski. Night two, a private chef came to the home. These trips are so important for team building, not to mention a ton of fun!

Employees and their guests had to write down clues and ultimately guess who the suspect was in the room. There were many laughs and memories made! At the annual holiday party, Kathryn and Mike Palski …
This summer, interns Seth Parker and Patrick Cremin set out to design a small form-factor payload to view satellites from high altitudes and low-earth-orbits. This solution will provide space domain awareness in an affordable manner to be able to proliferate sensors to maintain custody of satellites in orbit even when ground observers are weathered-out. Both …
Palski & Associates’ Ben Capeloto’s summer intern project was to develop a Space Domain Awareness Report (SDAR). This newsletter for Palski employees and customers aims to increase readers’ awareness of activities in space. Ben has been working tirelessly to improve the accuracy of the movements captured and reported by the automatic information gathering processes. This …
Palski & Associates has been subcontracted by Parson’s to support them on the COCOM Cyber Mission Support (CCMS) contract.
Many members of the space and intelligence agency miss out on relevant information on what’s happening in space. There are often too many satellites of interest, new launches, and decayed objects to manually parse through on a regular basis. For this reason, the Space Domain Awareness Report (SDAR) was created to enable a consistent and …
