Tokenized Satellite Payload Assets by Vectorspace AI X (VAIX)

How the Space Industry Provides Data for Hedge Funds, Expert Networks & Market Research Firms

If you could launch a satellite into space with a payload to generate a high-value dataset that gives you an informational edge in the financial markets, would you?

Financial institutions such as hedge funds, high-end market research, expert networks and other intelligence gathering firms are starting to use specialized satellites (CubeSats) in the new space economy’ to do just that.

The ‘Tokenized Assets’ are here to stay. At Vectorspace AI X we’re introducing ‘Tokenized Satellite Payload Assets’ — a turn-key satellite payload launch platform for customers in the financial industry, among others, interested in generating high-value datasets from space using satellites (CubeSats) in partnership with Vector Space Biosciences.

The space industry generates vast amounts of data from satellite imaging, GPS tracking, environmental sensors and biological. Hedge funds and market research firms use this data to make more informed investment decisions, predict market trends, and assess macroeconomic indicators.

Below is a detailed breakdown of how space-based datasets are used in financial markets and how institutions and firms can use the Vectorspace AI X tokenized satellite payload launch platform to gain an information edge in the following ways:

Satellite Imagery & Remote Sensing for Investment Insights

Hedge funds use satellite imagery to monitor economic activity, predict company performance, and track industry trends.

Agriculture & Commodity Market Forecasting

• Crop Yield Prediction: Satellites capture vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI) to assess crop health and forecast agricultural yields, affecting commodity prices for corn, wheat, soybeans, and coffee.
• Drought & Soil Moisture Data: Helps forecast food production and inflation risks.
• Deforestation & Land Use Change: Impacts supply chain forecasts for timber, palm oil, and other agricultural commodities.

Energy & Natural Resources

• Oil Storage Monitoring: Satellites measure oil storage levels in floating lid tanks by analyzing shadows, helping traders predict crude oil supply and price fluctuations.
• Mining Operations: Satellite imagery tracks activity at mines (e.g., copper, lithium, gold) to predict output and supply chain disruptions.
• Power Plant Emissions & Output: Infrared sensors detect heat emissions from power plants, giving insights into electricity production and economic activity.
• Pipeline & Infrastructure Monitoring: Detects leaks, construction progress, and disruptions that could impact energy markets.

Maritime & Supply Chain Monitoring

• Cargo Ship Movements: Using AIS (Automatic Identification System) data, hedge funds track global shipping volumes, trade flow, and port congestion.
• Retail Supply Chain Analysis: Monitoring the movement of container ships from China to the U.S. can indicate import/export trends and consumer demand.
• Disruptions & Bottlenecks: Identifies delays caused by strikes, weather events, or geopolitical tensions, affecting logistics and transportation stocks.

Macroeconomic & Market Research Applications

Economic Growth Indicators

• Nighttime Lights Analysis: Increased nighttime illumination in cities is a proxy for economic growth.
• Construction & Infrastructure Growth: Monitoring new roads, bridges, and buildings provides insights into government spending and real estate markets.
• Factory & Industrial Output: Thermal imaging reveals manufacturing activity, which is used to gauge industrial production.

Real Estate & Commercial Property Analysis

• Retail Parking Lot Counts: Hedge funds use satellite images to count the number of cars in retail store parking lots (e.g., Walmart, Costco, Target) to predict earnings reports.
• Warehouse & Distribution Center Activity: Construction and expansion trends help investors track logistics companies.
• Vacancy & Occupancy Rates: Monitoring urban office space and residential developments helps predict commercial real estate trends.

Environmental

• Carbon Emission Tracking: Satellites monitor CO₂ emissions to evaluate corporate environmental impact.
• Water Resource Monitoring: Changes in reservoir and river levels affect hydroelectric energy production and agricultural output.
• Illegal Deforestation & ESG Risks: Monitoring deforestation impacts companies in the palm oil, cattle, and soy industries.

Disaster Impact & Insurance Analytics

Hedge funds and insurers use satellite data to assess financial risks from natural disasters.

• Hurricane & Wildfire Damage Assessment: Determines losses for insurance companies and infrastructure impact.
• Flooding & Storm Surge Predictions: Assesses agricultural and property damage.
• Earthquake & Landslide Detection: Helps evaluate damage to buildings, roads, and pipelines.

Space Industry Growth & Investment Trends

The space industry itself is a growing investment sector, with hedge funds tracking:

• Satellite Deployment: Investments in companies launching new constellations (e.g., Starlink, Planet Labs).
• Space Tourism & Commercialization: Analyzing demand and market potential for companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic.
• Satellite Communication & Internet Expansion: Growth in satellite-based broadband services impacting telecom investments.

Data from the space industry gives hedge funds and market research firms a unique edge in understanding macroeconomic conditions, industry-specific trends, and investment opportunities. Whether tracking oil supply, consumer behavior, or global trade, satellite data enhances decision-making by providing real-time, high-resolution insights that traditional financial reports cannot match.

The platform provide the following functionality:

1. Each payload is a payload type which is attached to a ‘Tokenized Satellite Payload Asset’.
2. Each payload type has a Revenue Per Payload model represented by Net Asset Value (NAV) based on the projected 5-year revenue and the high-value datasets (HVDs) generated.
3. Each tokenized Satellite Payload Asset (TSPA) is represented by VAIX in an Exchange Traded Satellite Liquidity Pool (ETSLP).
4. VAIX acquired when a new payload type is announced qualify to receive a share on net revenue as a VAIX holder.
5. VAIX acquired when a new payload type is announced qualify to receive: a) A share on net revenue from the payload type. b) Up to a 20% discount to market on certain exchanges such as ProBit Global.

A percentage of net revenue is used for buy backs of VAIX while the remaining is shared with VAIX holders as described in the following flow diagrams:
