Our customers need software that moves just as fast as their ever-changing missions. Our open-standard, open-architecture foundations for software enable fast development and continuous deployment of software securely.

Horizon™ Command & Control (C2)

Horizon command and control software manages and integrates ground and space vehicles to execute payload objectives. Its versatile open APIs (application programming interface) and SDKs (software development kit) make it easy to manage various manufacturers’ buses and to upload customized mission parameters.  Available for small, medium and large constellations, Horizon’s modular architecture, delivers mission-critical capability at value-based pricing.

Compass™ Mission Planning Software

Compass is a mission planning software framework for a satellite constellation. It is composed of microservices that are designed to make satellite mission planning easier and more efficient. These extensible services provide solutions to various satellite bus, payload and communication problems. Compass provides a user interface to manage a constellation, and also includes a comprehensive REST API where a mission can inject its own logic.

Astrolabe Planning and Scheduling  

Astrolabe planning and scheduling software is responsible for GEP (Ground Entry Point) resource, customer and schedule planning. It can plan and control an entire ground system string, interfacing with available Command and Control capabilities. In addition, it has the extensibility to deliver a ‘NOC of NOCs’ (Network Operations Center) – enabling ground station commercial augmentation and proliferation to lower costs for customers. The product follows open API and SDK standards and integrates with our other ground software applications such as Compass, Horizon, and SpaceMesh Orchestrator.

SpaceMesh™ Orchestrator

SpaceMesh orchestrator enables the creation and orchestration of a mesh network across space,  ground and all-domain nodes to manage a constellation of satellites and ground stations. The product has open APIs that allow missions to easily integrate into a new or existing mission and dynamically configure, maintain and route data to create an ever-changing mesh network.
