LMO provides an integrated space‑domain‑awareness and on‑orbit servicing platform that combines AI‑driven multi‑sensor fusion software with modular chemical‑propulsion hardware. The system autonomously detects, identifies, and prioritizes orbital objects, delivering real‑time collision‑avoidance, de‑orbiting and proximity‑operation capabilities for satellite operators and government users. Its modular architecture and open interfaces enable rapid re‑configuration across mission profiles.

Problem
The growing density of active and defunct objects in low‑Earth orbit creates a high risk of collisions and limits the ability of satellite operators to maintain situational awareness and perform on‑orbit servicing. Existing solutions are often bulky, require extensive ground support, or lack the agility needed for small‑satellite constellations.
Solution
LMO delivers an end‑to‑end suite of space‑domain‑awareness (SDA) and in‑orbit servicing capabilities that combine AI‑driven software with agile chemical‑propulsion hardware. Its autonomous software stack fuses multi‑sensor data to detect, identify, and prioritize on‑orbit objects, while providing real‑time decision support for both ground operators and on‑board autonomy. Complementary propulsion modules enable precise collision‑avoidance maneuvers, de‑orbiting, and close‑proximity operations without extensive redesign. The integrated approach reduces mission‑specific development effort, shortens time‑to‑market, and supports sustainable use of orbital resources.
Target Audience
Satellite operators and constellation managers seeking autonomous collision‑avoidance and servicing, as well as defense and government agencies requiring reliable space‑domain‑awareness for critical infrastructure protection.
Features
- Agile chemical‑propulsion system (HTP, LMP‑103S, N2H4) delivering 0.35–1 N thrust with thrust‑vector control accuracy of 0.1° and modular tanks (1–5 L) featuring >98 % expulsion efficiency.
- Two‑axis thruster pointing mechanism providing 5–15° half‑cone angle and 0.3° pointing precision for medium‑close proximity navigation.
- Electronic pressure regulation (EPR) unit handling inlet pressures up to 120 bar and delivering regulated output down to 0.5 bar, with software‑configurable setpoints.
- AI‑powered SDA software that performs multi‑sensor fusion, object identification, characterization, and priority ranking, delivering actionable reports to ground or on‑board controllers.
- RPO (Remote Proximity Operations) software optimized for high‑speed, high‑accuracy rendezvous and docking, integrated with GNC algorithms for coordinated attitude and trajectory control.
- On‑edge data processing pipeline that compresses and transmits metrics in near‑real‑time, minimizing on‑board storage and downlink bandwidth.
- Open‑interface APIs (CAN, R‑422) and FHIR‑compatible data formats for seamless integration with existing ground‑segment C2 and telemetry systems.
- Modular, scalable architecture allowing rapid re‑configuration for different mission profiles, from single‑satellite inspection to large constellation servicing.
