VISION-BASED AUTONOMY SOLUTIONS

We are changing the way space operations can be done by enabling satellites to navigate autonomously, allowing them to better identify and avoid risks and failures.

Our approach to this is holistic in nature and is at the heart of our core competencies.

Software that makes navigation safer and less complex for operators.

POSE ESTIMATION & DOCKING ASSISTANCE

High-precision pose estimation without an inter-satellite link. Pose estimation and propagation with high accuracy over long periods of time at broad operating ranges. Assurance alignment of multi-satellite formation flight missions.

DATA FUSION

Integration of optical, lidar, hyperspectral, RF, GPS, IMU, Sun, and MTM sensors. Simultaneous analysis of multiple data sources for increased data fidelity. Data format compatibility with standard government and commercial platforms. (UDL, space-track, etc.)

PROXIMITY OPERATIONS ALGORITHMS

GNC capabilities for informing and assuring complex maneuver safety of flight. High-accuracy on-board state propagation for more precise planning of proximity operations. Closed-loop optical navigation including avoidance maneuvers and assured approach algorithms. 

STAR TRACKING & ATTITUDE DETERMINATION

Doubles as high-accuracy star trackers. Leverage dual sensor configuration and the computing processing power for high-precision pointing knowledge. Provides interface for fused data assurance and pointing verification.

FUTURE OFFERINGS

FULL COVERAGE OF LEO w/ TURNKEY DETECTION, TRACKING, TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS, & DATA

Space is getting more crowded. The 40x increase in satellites and their increasing capabilities in the next decade will make tracking them with current systems near impossible.

OVER-Sat is a standalone spacecraft which will provide high fidelity real-time traffic management, detection, and tracking powered by a network of in-space sensors.

SCOUT’s OVER-Sat fleet of in-space observation spacecraft offers an advantage to ground-based sensors by providing the next generation of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and streamlining frameworks such as Space Traffic Management (STM). These services will begin initial rollout in 2023 and will become widely available in late 2024.

Object Detection & Tracking - Sensor network offers unprecedented object fidelity and continuous custody.

Classification - AI/ML driven identification of on-orbit assets.

Traffic Management - Real-time traffic management and domain awareness through edge-computing.
