Mission-grade decisions from every contact window
Precision tools for validating spacecraft hardware, keeping space systems healthy, and running constellation operations.
The challenge
Nominal turns data produced in orbit into mission-grade decisions in real time.
Bus telemetry, ephemeris, ground-station forwarding, and payload outputs arrive from every contact window. Nominal unifies them on one timeline, validates onboard storage at each pass, and tests on the ground once the data lands, in one environment for space and ground operations.
Where teams get stuck
Slow feedback
Reviewing telemetry across disparate sources delays mission preparation.
Manual infrastructure
Building reliable alerting and monitoring in-house uses up critical resources.
Knowledge gaps
Teams struggle to adopt legacy workflows without training or support.
Fragmented workflows
Review and alerting live in different places, with no system of record.
Features
Nominal connects orbital dynamics with system performance
Live ephemeris reconciled with bus and payload telemetry on one synchronized timeline, from a single satellite to a full constellation.
Visualize in 3D with precision
Render OEM and TLE orbit data with millisecond accuracy, scrub time in both directions, and overlay payload view cones, ground-station links, and comms footprints.
Validate satellite behavior automatically
Define subsystem health checks once and run them across satellites, clusters, or ground-station pairs, with anomalies, missed contacts, and mode transitions flagged on time-synced data.
Manage constellations, not single assets
See throughput, contact success rate, and subsystem reliability across the fleet in one view, and surface orbital drift, power degradation, and thermal anomalies across dozens of spacecraft.
Review investigations together
Investigations carry assignments, annotations, and version control, so the whole team works from the same evidence.
Report for operators and regulators
Generate contact logs, anomaly reports, and performance summaries with embedded live data.
Synchronize runs instantly
Telemetry, video, and ground-station diagnostics land in one catalog, with synchronized playback instead of juggling tools.
Frequently asked questions
Can the same health checks run across a whole constellation?
Yes. Define subsystem health checks once and run them across individual satellites, clusters, or satellite and ground-station pairs.
Does Nominal cover both ground test and on-orbit operations?
Yes. The same environment covers ground testing and space operations, so teams can compare on-orbit behavior with what they saw before launch.
Where can Nominal be deployed?
In Nominal's cloud, in your VPC, on premises, or fully air-gapped. Access controls and audit trails come built in wherever the data lives.
