About
Andrew Peterson is an American aerospace engineer and entrepreneur best known as the co-founder and CEO of Array Labs, a Palo Alto-based startup launched in 2021 that develops distributed radar satellite constellations using formation-flying clusters of small satellites to generate high-resolution, real-time 3D imagery of Earth—achieving over 60x better quality than traditional methods for applications in defense, autonomy, climate monitoring, agriculture, and insurance. A Y Combinator alumnus with prior roles leading remote sensing projects at Moog Space and Defense, General Atomics (on Video SAR algorithms), and contributions to the Vera Rubin Observatory, Peterson holds a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona and an MS from San Diego State University. Under his leadership, Array Labs has launched demonstration satellites, secured Air Force contracts, partnered with entities like Raytheon and John Deere, and advanced toward operational clusters capable of sub-20cm resolution spotlight imaging.
