Interesting... star trackers have been around since the 50s and inertial navigation / SLAM is pretty plug and play these days. Looks like the unique thing they are going after is spoofing GPS so that a consumer drone can fly in a GPS denied environ. Neat, but a bit dubious as an investment.

The problem with star trackers is that it's getting harder and harder to see the stars
It's messing with insects who use the stars and moon for navigation. Pretty wild. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096098222...
