Detect. Decide. Act.
Autonomously.
Two products, one integrated stack. The brain that sees the threat, and the legs that move the satellite out of the way — with no human in the loop.
The onboard AI engine.
A unified onboard AI engine — hardware-agnostic, updatable over the air. It makes autonomous decisions and delivers real-time intelligence from orbit. Flagship capability: it classifies threats before the ground even wakes up.
Autonomous collision avoidance
Consumes a conjunction warning and plans, checks, and executes the avoidance maneuver onboard — no human in the loop. Every command passes a mathematical safety shield before it reaches the thruster.
Perception of known objects
A COTS camera and edge visual AI track a nearby satellite of known geometry — range, 3D pose, and velocity vector, under 5 watts. Proximity awareness, inspection, and behaviour characterization.
Anomaly detection and alerting
An orbital-mechanics filter flags an object that is actively manoeuvring to match your orbit, and raises a kilobyte-scale alert — class, range, vector, confidence. No gigabytes of video.
Water propulsion.
Safe to launch.
Water is the only propellant that is non-hazardous on launch and exists naturally across the solar system. It ships as standard cargo and refuels anywhere there is ice.
Water to H₂/O₂
Water is split on-board into hydrogen and oxygen. No stored high-pressure gas, no toxic propellant.
Pulsed arc heating
A solid-state Marx generator drives a pulsed micro-arc that heats the gas; a converging–diverging nozzle turns that heat into thrust. Target: 5–15 mN at 250–350 s specific impulse — roughly ten times the thrust of electric thrusters that fit the same volume.
Fits any CubeSat
The whole tank-to-thrust subsystem fits a 1U bay. Larger platforms are served by scaling the propellant load — the physics is unchanged, the tank grows.
| Propellant | Launch classification | Cost / kg |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrazine | HAZMAT Class 6.1 — toxic | $1,800–3,000 |
| Xenon | High-pressure vessel | $1,500–2,500 |
| Iodine | Corrosive — special manifesting | $300–800 |
| Water | Non-hazardous — standard cargo | Under $1/kg |
The self-defending satellite.
No ground loop. No human in the chain. And the AI never touches the plasma directly — it requests a maneuver, and a validated propulsion controller executes it inside a safety envelope. That interface is propulsion-agnostic: it commands our own thruster or a third-party thruster a satellite already carries.
