SkyBridge: The Device That Connects Your Telescope to the SkyMapper Network

SkyBridge is your gateway device into the decentralized sky. This compact, intelligent hardware module attaches to your telescope and instantly commands the SkyMapper network to capture, encrypt, and upload observations that become part of the world’s first verifiable, community-powered sky database.

With an onboard computer integrated with GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity, and AI-based processing, SkyBridge automates alignment, manages data capture, and securely distributes every observation across Akave’s decentralized storage network. The result: your telescope becomes a trusted contributor to global sky monitoring, satellite tracking, and collaborative science campaigns.
