Domains

From the ground up to deep space.

Flight dynamics and navigation span a wide range of applications: on Earth, in Earth orbit, around the Moon and in deep space.

0 km

Earth surface

From ground stations and test facilities to the open sea.

  • Ground segment coverage and satellite tracking
  • Hardware-in-the-loop testing
  • PNT for terrestrial, aerial and maritime applications

400 – 36,000 km

Earth orbit

Where most missions fly, and where space is getting crowded.

  • Mission analysis
  • Precise orbit determination (POD)
  • Satellite manoeuvring and station keeping
  • Constellation design, management and operations
  • Collision avoidance and conjunction assessment
  • Rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO)
  • Re-entry trajectory analysis and guidance
  • ADCS design, simulation and onboard software

384,000 km

Cislunar space

The new frontier of exploration, and of navigation.

  • Cislunar mission analysis and trajectory design
  • Cislunar navigation and orbit determination
  • Lunar landing and descent guidance
  • Lunar space situational awareness (SSA)
  • Lunar and cislunar communication and navigation networks
  • Autonomous proximity operations around the Moon

Beyond the Moon

Deep space

Far from Earth, where every manoeuvre counts.

  • Interplanetary mission analysis and trajectory design
  • Deep-space navigation and orbit determination in cruise, rendezvous and close proximity
  • Autonomous guidance and onboard navigation
  • Optical navigation
  • Autonomous descent and landing on planetary and small bodies
  • Proximity operations around small bodies
