Platform Architecture

An integrated safety, cyber, and compliance
platform for commercial space operations.

Two integrated platforms. 19+ containerized components. Fail-closed security semantics. ClearSky covers launch operations; AetherSat covers in-orbit operations. Designed for the operational realities of commercial spaceflight — not adapted from enterprise frameworks.

Platform Architecture

The core platform is a closed loop — safety events feed vulnerability intelligence, which informs risk scoring, which surfaces in the operator dashboard. Each service maintains explicit inter-service contracts and boundary isolation by design.

ClearSky Platform — Core Services

Four production-ready services covering the full launch operations stack. Deployable incrementally or as a unified platform.

CLEARSKY
Confidential Safety Reporting for Commercial Space Operators
Live · Phase I Ready
What It Does

A structured intake and de-identification pipeline for commercial space safety data. Reporter identity is removed at the point of entry. No PII enters the platform's published artifacts. The system is modeled on FAA AC 00-46F — the same voluntary safety reporting framework that transformed aviation safety culture.

Operator Outcome

Confidential anomaly reporting without exposing reporter identity or polluting operator workflows with unmanaged safety data. Safety events become structured intelligence — not legal exposure.

Operational Detail
  • Structured intake with de-identification at submission
  • No PII in published safety artifacts — by architecture, not policy
  • Configurable anomaly taxonomy aligned to FAA Part 450/460
  • Event correlation feed to VECTOR and SpacePulse
  • Pilot deployments open for commercial operators
Regulatory Alignment FAA AC 00-46F · 14 CFR Part 450/460 · NASA ASRS model
Validation Status 278/278 tests passing · Production-ready · Pilot intake open
VECTOR
Space-Specific Vulnerability Intelligence and SBOM Registry
Live · Phase I Ready
What It Does

Your mission software has dependencies you didn't choose and vulnerabilities you can't see. VECTOR maintains a space-specific CVE registry scored for spacecraft environments — not enterprise IT — and connects it directly to your SBOM. When a new CVE lands, VECTOR knows whether it touches your stack, how critical it is to your mission profile, and what to do next.

Operator Outcome

Your team stops chasing generic CVE feeds that weren't built for orbital systems. Vulnerability exposure is scored against your actual mission — payload class, orbit profile, system exposure — and surfaced before it becomes a mission risk.

Operational Detail
  • Space-CVE registry with mission-context scoring
  • SBOM Ingestor with CISA 2025 validation live
  • Coordinated disclosure portal for space vendors
  • STIX/TAXII feeds for SENTINEL and government subscribers
  • Mission risk correlation engine live

SENTINEL
Ground-Side Risk Correlator and Mission Scoring Engine
Live · Complete
What It Does

SENTINEL is a layered cyber defense and mission-risk monitoring system for commercial space operations, beginning with ground-based correlation and designed to expand into future on-orbit endpoint visibility. The platform maintains mission inventory — assets, payloads, orbital parameters, ground software stack linkage — and correlates that inventory against CVE alerts from VECTOR and incident data from CLEARSKY, computing a scalar CompositeRisk score per (mission, CVE) pair.

Operator Outcome

Answers the operationally critical question: which vulnerabilities actually threaten which active missions? Mission-aware risk scoring surfaced in real time — without manual correlation by ground operators.

Operational Detail
  • Mission inventory management — assets, payloads, orbital parameters, software stack
  • CVEAlert webhook intake from VECTOR — real-time correlation on new CVE registration
  • CompositeRisk scoring per (mission, CVE) pair — weighted model across five VectorScore dimensions
  • NIST AU-2/AU-3 structured audit records for all correlation and scoring operations
  • Risk scores surfaced to SpacePulse — high-severity alerts on CompositeRisk ≥ 7.0 or CVSS ≥ 9.0

SpacePulse
Unified Operator Intelligence Dashboard
Live · Intelligence Layer
What It Does

Most operators are managing safety events, CVE feeds, and mission risk in three separate tools — or no tools at all. SpacePulse aggregates output from CLEARSKY, VECTOR, and SENTINEL into a single ITAR-aware operator dashboard. Decision-makers see exactly what they need to act on. Nothing leaks across operator trust boundaries.

SpacePulse operators can trigger instant AI-powered analysis on any CVE or composite risk-score alert. Each analysis returns a structured briefing: executive summary, severity assessment, per-subsystem mission impact, and actionable remediation steps — all enforced through ITAR gating and per-user rate limiting server-side.

Operator Outcome

One view. Your safety events, vulnerability scores, and mission risk — correlated, filtered to your trust boundary, and ready for action. No manual aggregation. No cross-operator data exposure.

Operational Detail
  • Unified feed aggregating CLEARSKY, VECTOR, and SENTINEL
  • On-demand AI analysis on CVE and composite risk-score alerts — severity, mission impact, remediation steps
  • ITAR enforcement at routing time — before payload delivery
  • React 18 operator dashboard live
  • Feed API for downstream integrations
  • Per-operator server-side rate limiting on analysis requests
  • Service-boundary isolation by design — no cross-operator data leakage

AetherSat Platform — In-Orbit Operations Services

Seven containerized services. Production-deployed on dedicated infrastructure. 231/231 validation tests passing.

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

Validation Status NOAA polling live · Dashboard badge surface live · 5-minute cadence verified
Fail-Closed Security Behavior

The platform denies access by default. No open-by-default states. If a trust decision cannot be resolved, the system closes — not opens.

ITAR Enforced at Routing Time

ITAR-controlled payloads are identified and routed before delivery — not filtered at the presentation layer. Enforcement is structural, not conditional.

No PII in Published Artifacts

Reporter identity is removed at intake. PII cannot traverse the platform's published data paths — enforced by architecture, not access policy.

Audit-Backed Critical Operations

Every critical operation generates an audit record. Audit trails are append-only and cannot be modified by application-layer processes.

Service-Boundary Isolation by Design

Each service maintains explicit inter-service contracts. No implicit data sharing across operator trust boundaries. Schema ownership is defined at the service level.

Regulatory Alignment by Default

Compliance is architectural — not a configuration option. FAA, NIST, and CISA alignment is built into the data models and workflows, not added post-deployment.
