The atmosphere
from orbit.

Meneltir Labs is building an end-to-end atmospheric intelligence system, coupling orbital sensing, AI-native modelling, and operational delivery into a single integrated architecture.

One integrated system

From observation to decision — one integrated system.

01 · OBSERVE

AI-native orbital platform

High-cadence atmospheric observations from a constellation designed for on-orbit inference. Built to deliver atmospheric state data at a cadence existing commercial and government sources do not provide.

02 · INFER

AI-native atmospheric modelling

Neural architecture trained on decades of reanalysis data. Produces probabilistic forecast fields with calibrated uncertainty, rather than point predictions or ensemble means.

03 · DELIVER

Decision intelligence API

Sector-specific risk quantification delivered through a unified API. For route optimisation, supply-chain resilience, and energy dispatch, the system delivers structured outputs for real operational decisions.

SECTOR RISK FEED

Weather is not a notification. It is the operating condition of the global economy.

WHY NOW

The conditions for a new observation layer exist, for the first time.

Commercial launch costs have fallen sharply over the past decade. AI weather models are now competitive with ensemble NWP in selected forecasting regimes at a fraction of the compute cost. And the sectors that pay for forecast quality — insurance, shipping, and energy — are increasingly exposed to atmospheric risk.

01
Launch costs collapsed

Rideshare and reusability have made small-satellite constellation deployment commercially viable for the first time.

02
AI crossed a threshold

Neural weather models now rival ensemble NWP systems at a fraction of the compute and operational cost.

03
Sectoral risk is directly priced

Insurance, shipping, and energy underwrite directly against forecast quality — and pay accordingly.

04
No integrated provider exists

The observation-to-decision pipeline remains fragmented. No single provider owns the full stack from sensing to intelligence.

TEAM

The team

Meneltir Labs is built by people who have done this before — in related domains, at scale, under real operational constraints.

P
Co-founder & Executive Chair
Patrick Newton

Previously built and scaled an Earth observation company from inception through multiple funding rounds, turning satellite-derived machine learning into enterprise decision systems. At Meneltir Labs, he leads commercial strategy, capital formation, and strategic partnerships, converting technical differentiation into durable market position.

I
Co-founder & CTO
Indrajit Pawar

Applied geospatial systems architect with experience across agriculture, energy, water, and defence, where operational context and risk tolerance define what environmental data must deliver. At Meneltir Labs, he leads satellite systems engineering and on-orbit AI, designing an end-to-end platform built for real operational use.

M
Co-founder & Director of Climate Science
Mark Maslin

Professor of Earth System Science at UCL, with over 200 publications and more than £75 million in research funding, focused on the dynamics of a non-stationary planet. At Meneltir Labs, he anchors the scientific architecture, ensuring the weather intelligence stack remains physically credible under changing climate conditions.

J
Co-founder & Director of AI
James Hetherington

Professor of Computational Science at UCL and Honorary Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute, with a career building systems that make AI reliable at scale in scientific environments. At Meneltir Labs, he leads the AI architecture that turns advanced research into operational infrastructure across sensing, compute, and modelling.
