YOUR TELESCOPE
CAN DO MORE

SCIENCE CONTRIBUTION

Set your telescope to "Explore Mode" to track satellites and events automatically while you sleep.

REMOTE ACCESS

Cloudy night at home? Control a telescope on the other side of the world to explore clear skies, instantly.

EARN & OWN

Every image you capture is verified on the blockchain. You own the data, and you earn reputation and rewards for contributing to the network.

‍Meet SkyBridge:

The Brains of the Operation

SkyBridge is a compact, intelligent module that plugs directly into your existing telescope.
It handles alignment, data processing, and network connectivity without a bulky laptop setup.
When you’re not using your telescope, SkyBridge safely transforms it into an automated, always-on skywatcher, remotely pointing, aligning and capturing satellites, re-entries, meteors and other transient events for the SkyMapper network.

Every image captured is written to SkyMapper’s decentralized, redundant storage so your images and videos carry tamper-proof provenance that scientists and operators can trust.

So while you sleep, your telescope is doing real good, advancing astronomical research, helping researchers refine orbits and monitor space safety, powering SkyMapper’s science and product design, and earning you credit for contributing to verifiable, impact-driven discovery.

Powering Global Discovery

Join the World’s First Decentralized Telescope Network.
When you add a SkyBridge to your setup, you are doing more than just upgrading your hardware, you are helping scale a global, decentralized observatory. Your telescope becomes a "force multiplier," joining a distributed network that provides the coverage and redundancy needed to monitor the dynamic sky continuously.

SCALE MILESTONES
Growing from 63 today toward 300 by Q2 2026 and 1,000 by Q4 2026.
reDUCED DARK ZONES
New placements expand coverage across key regions for more consistent monitoring.
decentralized network
Overlapping telescopes remove single points of failure across the network systemwide.

how skymapper works

SkyMapper connects compatible telescopes into a global observing network to observe, secure, and share the sky, letting the community control observations, track satellites, and capture real-time images for shared science and discovery.

smart telescope

Your SkyMapper- compatible smart telescope: remotely automated, digital, connected.

skypod

Autonomous, self-sustaining enclosure station.

skysphere

All-sky surveillance system for satellites, drones, 
meteors, UaPs.

skybridge

Blockchain-protected device connects to smart telescopes and astronomy devices.

skyviewer

Log-in to this network user interface to control telescopes, tracks satellites, and captures images.
By becoming a node in the SkyMapper network,
you provide critical data to three key sectors:
For Real-Time Science:
Isolated telescopes can miss fleeting events due to weather or location. A connected network ensures we can catch transient events, like meteor flashes, supernovae, or fast radio counterparts, the instant they happen, even if a single site is cloudy. Because SkyBridge performs precise GNSS tagging and on-edge AI quality control, every image you capture is time-and-location verified and ready for research-grade analysis.
For the New Space Economy:
As the number of satellites grows, the industry needs a critical "situational awareness layer". Commercial operators and national agencies rely on the network for independent, timely imagery to conduct anomaly investigations and routine status checks. Your node helps deliver this verifiable data, allowing you to earn rewards through a decentralized model that values your contribution to the marketplace.
For Classrooms Everywhere:
Every SkyBridge is a bridge to the stars for students. By connecting your instrument, you help build a "curriculum infrastructure" that allows schools to schedule real observations and analyze authentic data rather than simulations. This network reduces latency and opens more time slots, letting learners across different time zones participate in citizen-science campaigns and see how modern astronomy works in practice.
We are building a world where thousands of SkyBridges
turn momentary skies into lasting, shareable data.
Join us, connect a SkyBridge, and turn your backyard telescope
into a global scientific resource.
