Drop-in satellite software
Kinetic, digital, environmental—handled autonomously, onboard.
No changes to hardware.
What We're Building
Autonomous Collision Avoidance
Detect, plan, commit maneuvers < 5 s.
No ground intervention required.
Orbit propagator and Pc calculator;
maneuver planning.
Information Security
Authenticated commands; signed updates with rollback; FDIR.
Verified commands, signed updates with rollback, tamper‑evident logs.
Storm-Safe Operations
Plans for space weather. Protects power and thermal margins.
Space‑weather–aware planning; attitude safing during storms.
Advisory → Autonomous
Start with human-in-the-loop.
Graduate to full autonomy when ready.
Policy‑constrained autonomy, operator abort/inhibit, decision rationale packets.
Drop-In Integration
Software-only. No hardware changes.
Two weeks to advisory mode.
C/Rust APIs, cFS/PUS/CSP adapters, ARM/LEON support.
