Upstate SC company one of six selected for inaugural AFRL accelerator

A start-up located in the Upstate of South Carolina is one of six selected to participate in the inaugural cohort of a new accelerator program funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the U.S. Space Force.

Blue Eye Soft, located in Greer, SC, develops artificial intelligence models that predict satellite anomalies due to space weather events. It will participate in the new “Soft Landing” program that was created to attract space industry start-ups to New Mexico, where AFRL is based. The lab has been actively supporting the space industry, sponsoring the Hyperspace and Catalyst Campus accelerator programs.
