Intella and D-Orbit: One Year of Collaboration

A new collaboration: Intella & D-Orbit

Intella and D-Orbit: One Year of Collaboration Driving Innovation in Satellite Operations and the Growth of Italy’s Space Entrepreneurship

Milan, May 7 – Intella, an Italian deep tech company specializing in artificial intelligence solutions for satellite operations, is celebrating the first anniversary of its collaboration with D-Orbit, a global leader in space logistics and in-orbit transportation services.

At the heart of the partnership is the integration of Mercury, Intella’s AI-based software designed for proactive satellite health monitoring. Mercury acts as an intelligent copilot that helps operators manage increasingly complex satellite constellations, enabling a new operational paradigm based on prevention, automation, and data-driven decision-making. 

By learning the unique behavior of each satellite, Mercury ensures the proactive detection of anomalies, prevents downtime, optimizes operational processes, and facilitates scalable satellite operations.

The partnership between the two companies has provided Mercury with valuable hands-on experience, proving its capabilities in real-world scenarios.

“D-Orbit was our first customer in the satellite industry, and this partnership marked a major milestone in Intella’s growth,” said Andrea Guzzo, Co-founder and CTO of Intella. “Integrating Mercury into mission-critical contexts with such an innovative player validated both our approach and the framework in which we operate. This collaboration shows how AI has become essential to the space ecosystem, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability, and cost optimization.”

D-Orbit continues to be a key player in Italy’s New Space ecosystem, thanks to its entrepreneurial vision centered on adopting cutting-edge technologies and promoting the country’s deep tech excellence.

This synergy demonstrates how cooperation between highly innovative companies can generate real impact—not only technologically and operationally, but also by strengthening Italy’s role as a European hub for space innovation.
