Our Team

We are a group of astronomers, software engineers, and space-tracking specialists who have spent years working with real telescopes, real data, and real operational constraints.

Our collective experience spans:
• Astronomical surveys and data pipelines
Hands-on work with professional observatories, asteroid-detection programs, and longbaseline sky-monitoring systems.

• Astrometric and photometric reduction
Deep expertise in extracting precise positional and brightness measurements from low-signal frames.

• Satellite and space-debris tracking
Practical experience operating electro-optical sensors, processing large nightly datasets, and identifying objects against complex orbital catalogs.

• High-performance scientific software
Development of fast, reliable, automation-heavy tools tailored for observatories, research teams, and defense-oriented SSA operations.

We built our Lemur, our flagship software, because we personally felt the need for it. After years of processing thousands of frames by hand, we understood how much time was lost to routine reductions and how transformative real automation could be for the entire workflow. This direct experience with the pain points of astronomers and SSA teams shaped every part of Lemur’s design.

Today, Instalf Space continues to grow through close collaboration with observatories, universities, and space-operations centers. Our goal remains the same: to develop precise, dependable automation that accelerates humanity’s ability to monitor and protect the near-Earth environment.
