Unlocking the Potential of Space Operations with Slingshot Orbital Astrodynamics Services

Enhancing Orbit Determination with GNSS-Based Solutions

Slingshot's GNSS-based Orbit Determination service revolutionizes satellite operations by streamlining orbit determination, ephemeris generation, and conjunction assessment. This service eliminates the need for continuous orbital processing, allowing satellite operators to focus on mission success and operational efficiency. The service provides access via API, offering a convenient and efficient solution for managing spacecraft telemetry.

Automated Quality Control for Better Decision Making

Slingshot's service includes built-in quality control mechanisms that automatically detect anomalies in telemetry and spacecraft properties. This proactive monitoring allows operators to address issues before they escalate, leading to a deeper understanding of spacecraft subsystems and extending the mission's lifespan. By employing automated quality monitoring, operators can enhance mission safety and maximize operational efficiency.

Generating High-Accuracy Ephemeris for Mission Planning

Slingshot's Ephemeris Generation service empowers satellite operators to create precise predicted ephemerides based on their satellite's orbital state. With a high-accuracy orbital propagator, operators can plan maneuvers with confidence, ensuring optimal mission control. Even without initial orbital data, Slingshot's orbit determination service can swiftly generate the necessary information using its Global Sensor Network.

Conjunction Assessment for Risk Mitigation

Slingshot's Conjunction Assessment and Risk Analysis services enable satellite operators to conduct comprehensive screening for potential collisions. By offering catalog and ephemeris-based screening, this service supports maneuver planning, coordination, and deconfliction. The upcoming API integration will provide easy access to these critical risk assessment tools, further enhancing the safety and efficiency of space operations.
