Problem
Spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) validation typically requires multiple interacting software tools, increasing development costs and slowing iteration cycles. Engineers lack a unified platform that combines realistic mission context with the flexibility to test custom algorithms efficiently.
Solution
Hisperion Aerospace provides Orbita, a model-based simulation platform designed for spacecraft dynamics, GNC validation, and mission analysis. The software allows engineers to build advanced systems through model-based blocks and validate GNC logic from a simple graphical user interface. Orbita embeds user-defined algorithms within a realistic simulation environment, enabling closed-loop testing of navigation and control systems. The platform supports synthetic image generation from virtual cameras, allowing vision-based GNC systems to be tested without physical hardware or external tools.
Target Audience
Primary users are space engineers, GNC specialists, and mission analysts at aerospace companies, research institutions, and space agencies who need practical tools for spacecraft simulation and validation.
