Bremen, Germany, 14 November 2023
OKAPI:Orbits, a leader in Space Traffic Management, announced today the launch of OKAPI:Astrolabe. Developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency, Astrolabe seamlessly blends interoperability and decision-making processes to provide an intuitive and direct communication experience for satellite operators coordinating conjunction events.
OKAPI:Astrolabe, when combined with OKAPI:Aether, offers all-inclusive services like automated assessments of conjunction event criticality, maneuver evaluation, in-depth insights about in-orbit assets, and predictive evolution forecasting, all in a consolidated workspace.
Key features
- A comprehensive timeline view of current conjunctions, highlighting critical events, secondary object operator information, and key conjunction details.
- Establish your tailored set of rules through collaborative negotiations in the event of a critical conjunction. These rules serve as a lifeline during the event and a strategic blueprint for future interactions with the same operator. Real-time access to synchronized information through event-driven data sharing.
- Automate processes seamlessly through the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Application Programming Interface (API).
"We believe this product will define the way Critical Close Approaches and potential Collisions are coordinated. Its innovation, quality, and performance are unparalleled in our industry, and we can't wait for operators to experience its benefits."Kristina Nikolaus, CEO & Co-Founder, OKAPI:Orbits
"Due to the increasing effort of coordination between satellite operators, the first of a kind fully automated solution that is OKAPI:Astrolabe, will take a huge burden from the operations team. With OKAPI:Astrolabe and OKAPI:Aether, OKAPI:Orbits enables the sustainable use of space in a seamless, cost-efficient way while at the same time applying the most innovative algorithms that exist to date."Christopher Kebschull, CTO & Co-Founder, OKAPI:Orbits
OKAPI:Astrolabe was launched at the Space Tech Expo in Bremen on 14 November 2023 and already has significant satellite operator demand. Learn more at OKAPI:Astrolabe.
