Launch & Trajectory

Getting to orbit is the riskiest few minutes of the program. We model the ascent, the guidance and the uncertainty so you know your margins before the vehicle leaves the pad.

End-to-end imaging satellite mission architectureA ground station with a four-element X-band monopulse tracking array radiates computed sum and difference antenna patterns to a 3U CubeSat in low Earth orbit. The CubeSat radiates an X-band downlink pattern back to the ground and images the Earth through a sensor cone. A two-stage launch vehicle climbs an ascent trajectory to orbit above a photographic Earth limb.
