Problem
Spacecraft proximity operations such as inspection, refuelling, repair, relocation, assembly, resupply, and disposal require precise sensing and control, but current solutions are often bulky, manually operated, and carry high risk of collision or mission failure.
Solution
Vimotek offers AI‑driven software tools that de‑risk and accelerate these proximity activities. The OrbitTwin platform creates high‑fidelity digital twins of spacecraft and missions, enabling engineers to simulate and validate custom scenarios under realistic conditions before flight. NavCam processes raw sensor data—particularly from LiDAR and visual navigation cameras—and converts it into autonomous control commands, providing reliable, scalable navigation for in‑orbit services. Together, the solutions reduce development time, improve safety margins, and support the scaling of on‑orbit servicing and other automated space operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are space‑industry engineering and operations teams developing in‑space servicing, autonomous rendezvous, and proximity navigation capabilities for satellites and spacecraft.
