In-Orbit Operations Platform

Constellation health, collision avoidance, and maneuver authorization for active satellite operators.

AetherSat is a production-deployed operations intelligence platform for constellation operators. Seven containerized services spanning real-time telemetry visualization, passive debris screening, space weather monitoring, and SGP4-based maneuver simulation — all in an ITAR-aware, JWT-authenticated operator console.

AetherSat Platform Architecture

A closed-loop constellation operations platform. Telemetry flows into health assessment, collision screening, and space weather correlation. OrbitSim gates maneuver authorization to validated pass windows. Every decision is logged.

Core Services

Seven production-ready services. Deployed on dedicated infrastructure for constellation operators.

AetherSat Dashboard
Real-Time Constellation Intelligence
Live · Complete
What It Does

A 4-page operator console built for constellation health management. The globe page renders live-animated orbital tracks for every satellite in the constellation, with click-to-snap navigation and real-time TLE-derived positions. The dashboard page surfaces a health matrix, per-satellite telemetry cards (battery %, thermal status, comms status, attitude mode), and an AI-powered recommendation feed. The alerts page provides satellite-level alert filtering and event history. The remediation page is the OrbitSim entry point.

Operator Outcome

Your entire constellation in a single operational console — health, risk, alerts, and maneuver authorization all in one ITAR-aware interface.

Operational Detail
  • Live 3D orbital globe with animated satellite tracks
  • Per-satellite telemetry cards: battery, thermal, comms, attitude mode
  • AI constellation analysis: anomaly summary, threat classification, recommended action
  • Alerts page with satellite-level filtering and severity triage
  • React 18 operator dashboard, JWT auth, httpOnly cookie, ITAR-gated

Collision Detection
Continuous Debris Screening via SGP4 + Celestrak
Live · Complete
What It Does

The collision detection layer polls the Celestrak TLE debris catalog, propagates satellite and debris orbits using SGP4 to compute closest-point-of-approach for each tracked conjunction. Risk is classified by altitude deviation from nominal orbit. CONJUNCTION risk badges are surfaced per satellite in the dashboard cards and alert feed when CPA falls below defined thresholds. A HOSTILE_PROXIMITY detection layer handles non-debris close approaches.

Operator Outcome

Passive, continuous collision risk monitoring — operators see CONJUNCTION flags with CPA distance and time-to-closest-approach before the maneuver window closes.

Operational Detail
  • Celestrak TLE catalog integration — live debris dataset
  • SGP4 orbital propagation per satellite and debris object
  • CPA calculation per conjunction pair
  • Risk classification: NOMINAL / MONITOR / ALERT by altitude deviation
  • CONJUNCTION badge surfaced in dashboard + alerts feed
  • HOSTILE_PROXIMITY layer for non-debris close approach detection

OrbitSim
Maneuver Simulation Sandbox and Execute-on-Pass Authorization
Live · Phase VII Complete
What It Does

OrbitSim is a maneuver simulation and authorization system for in-orbit collision avoidance. Operators input a ΔV burn in the RTN (Radial-Tangential-Normal) frame — prograde, radial, and normal components — and OrbitSim computes the resulting Keplerian orbital elements using the vis-viva equation. It then re-screens the post-maneuver orbit against the conjunction threat, shows before/after orbital parameters, and calculates the next available KSC ground station pass window using SGP4 propagation. Authorization and execution are gated to the pass window with a complete audit trail.

Operator Outcome

Simulate before uplink. Authorize and execute only at the validated pass window. Every decision is logged to an immutable audit trail.

Operational Detail
  • ΔV input in RTN frame: prograde/radial/normal sliders + numeric inputs
  • Vis-viva equation: computes new semi-major axis, eccentricity, altitude perigee/apogee
  • Post-maneuver conjunction re-screening — risk cleared or still present
  • SGP4 pass window calculator: KSC ground station (28.5621°N, -80.5772°E), 12-hour search
  • Execute-on-Pass button pulses green at AOS; disabled until pass window opens
  • Authorization modal → confirm, authorize, and execute in one workflow
  • Audit trail table: authorization ID, satellite, ΔV spec, authorized_at, execution status

Space Weather
Live NOAA Kp and Geomagnetic Storm Intelligence
Live · Complete
What It Does

Live space weather monitoring integrated directly into the constellation dashboard. Polls NOAA's Space Weather API every 5 minutes for Kp index, geomagnetic storm level, and solar flux index (F10.7). Storm-level and Kp values are surfaced as contextual badges in the constellation health view so operators can correlate space environment state with satellite telemetry anomalies in real time.

Operator Outcome

Space weather context alongside satellite health data — not in a separate tool. Operators see geomagnetic conditions and Kp index in the same view as battery and thermal status.

Operational Detail
  • NOAA Space Weather API, 5-minute poll interval
  • Kp index, storm level (quiet/unsettled/minor/moderate/severe), solar flux (F10.7)
  • Storm-level badge surfaced in constellation dashboard header
  • Correlated with satellite telemetry in the health matrix view

Real-Time Telemetry by Design

Satellite telemetry is polled and surfaced in the dashboard without manual refresh. JWT authentication enforced at every telemetry endpoint.

Conjunction Assessment at Every Orbit

Collision screening runs continuously against the Celestrak TLE debris catalog. ALERT state is triggered when altitude deviation falls below threshold — not on a schedule.

Maneuver Authorization Gated to Pass Window

OrbitSim blocks execution until the next validated ground station pass window opens. No uplink authorization is issued outside a computed AOS/LOS window.

Immutable Maneuver Audit Trail

Every maneuver authorization is logged with authorization ID, operator identity, ΔV specification, pass window, and execution status. Records cannot be modified by application-layer processes.

ITAR-Aware Data Handling

Constellation telemetry and maneuver data is handled within the same ITAR-aware boundary architecture as the ClearSky platform. Operator isolation enforced at the service boundary.

Fail-Closed Conjunction Response

If collision screening cannot be completed, the system defaults to flagging the satellite rather than clearing it. Uncertainty resolves toward caution.

231/231 Tests Passing

Every AetherSat service has a dedicated test suite. 231 validation tests across 7 containerized services — including 112 tests executed on the Jetson Orin Nano edge compute node running the SENTINEL Layer 3 detection stack.

Active Operator Engagements

AetherSat is currently in active technical discussions with constellation operators across the micro-satellite, satellite servicing, and in-space propulsion segments. NDAs executed. Pilot intake open for Q2/Q3 2026.

Pricing is structured per constellation and tailored to satellite count, deployment model, and SLA requirements. We don't publish rates — every engagement starts with a discovery session.
