Purpose-Built for GNC Workflows

Orbita is designed for teams that need to model, validate, and iterate on guidance, navigation, and control systems without forcing their workflow into a generic environment. Its core is a model-based architecture where dynamic models are represented as interconnected blocks, making it easier to assemble complex systems, introduce algorithm logic, and test methods in a controlled and traceable way.

Around that core, Orbita adds the mission-analysis context needed to move faster: sensors and actuators, reference frames, constellations, and other operational elements can all be incorporated in the same environment and used to build and validate the GNC chain.

Model-Based Block Architecture

In Orbita, you define blocks that represent dynamic models, specify their inputs and outputs, and connect them through a simple graphical interface to build complex dynamic systems. This structure is well suited to validating navigation filters, guidance strategies, and control laws, while keeping the full system architecture visible and easy to evolve.

Extensive Customization Through API

Orbita is built to adapt to the workflows engineers already trust. Through an extensive API, users can create custom blocks and incorporate their own models, logic, internal processes, and AI-enabled capabilities directly into the platform. That makes it possible to preserve existing GNC know-how while opening the door to more advanced inference, automation, and data-driven workflows inside the same modeling and validation environment.

Efficient by Design

Performance is a design principle, not an afterthought. Orbita is developed in C++ with efficient implementations of the underlying dynamic models so that simulations remain realistic without becoming unnecessarily slow. When workloads benefit from parallelization, GPU execution can be used to accelerate demanding computations such as harmonics or attitude-dependent drag.

Closed-Loop Validation with Mission Analysis Context

Orbita goes beyond isolated GNC models by providing a broader mission-analysis sandbox for fast iteration. You can represent orbits, reference frames, spacecraft, celestial bodies, visibility windows, communications constraints, stray light, and pointing geometry, among others, while testing the system.

The in-house graphics engine enables closed-loop workflows that include spacecraft-mounted camera-like sensors.
