C2 IOD
C2 IOD
Command and control platform for satellites in the initial orbit determination phase. It provides operators with the tools to acquire, track and begin commanding a newly launched satellite as it transitions from launch to routine operations.
C2 Pro
C2 Pro
Advanced multi-mission command and control platform for operators running more than one satellite or a full constellation. Designed to deliver high-performance operations without locking customers into proprietary infrastructure, it supports concurrent mission management from a single interface.
Pass Orchestrator
Pass Orchestrator
Automates the scheduling and execution of satellite passes across ground stations. It optimises contact windows, coordinates tasking across multiple stations and reduces manual workload for ground operations teams.
Synoptics Monitor
Synoptics Monitor
Real-time monitoring and visualisation tool for tracking the health and status of satellites and ground segment infrastructure. Gives operators a unified view of their entire mission environment.
Ground Station M&C
Ground Station M&C
Monitoring and control system for managing the physical and software components of ground station infrastructure. Enables remote oversight and control of antennas and associated equipment.
EO Image Acquisition Planner
EO Image Acquisition Planner
Planning and scheduling tool for Earth observation missions. It optimises the collection of satellite imagery by coordinating tasking requests, orbital windows and ground station availability.
