Space Domain Awareness · Autonomous Operations

The decision layer
autonomous space operations
have been missing.

SCALOS is the validation and decision infrastructure for autonomous satellite operations — collision avoidance, maneuver planning, and constellation-scale coordination. Simulate. Validate. Decide — before a single command executes in orbit.

Threat Environment

Space operations
failing at scale.

The systems built to manage orbital assets were designed for a different era. The threat environment has outpaced the infrastructure. This is not a projection — it is the current state.

9,000+
Active LEO satellites
Projected 60,000+ by 2030. Congestion is not a future risk.
~90%
Collision alerts are false positives
Unnecessary maneuvers burn fuel, shorten lifetime, overload operators.
500,000+
Debris objects too small to track
Fragments under 10cm are invisible to ground radar. Every pass is a gamble.
0
Scalable human solutions
Manual ops cannot keep pace with mega-constellation growth. The math doesn't work.

Bottom line: Wasted fuel. Shortened mission lifetimes. Operator overload. Rising collision risk. The gap between orbital congestion and autonomous decision capability is widening — and closing it manually is no longer an option.

Capability Stack

The validation layer
autonomous space
operations require.

SCALOS simulates orbital physics, sensor uncertainty, and adversarial conditions — so operators can train autonomy systems, stress-test maneuver logic, and certify decision behavior before a single command executes in orbit.

Simulation
High-fidelity orbital physics, sensor uncertainty, domain randomization
Validation
Automated pass/fail across thousands of scenarios per commit
Decision
Autonomous maneuver strategies trained, stress-tested, and certified
01Collision Avoidance

Validate Before You Maneuver

Run thousands of synthetic conjunction scenarios per code commit. Eliminate false-positive burns. Validate avoidance logic against the full threat distribution before any command executes in orbit.

02Constellation Operations

Scale Without Scaling Headcount

Train autonomy systems to coordinate hundreds of assets with minimal human oversight. Energy-optimal maneuvers, automated sequencing, constellation-wide coordination — all validated in simulation first.

03Defense & SDA

Operate in Contested Environments

Simulate adversarial satellites, non-cooperative debris, and sensor-degraded scenarios. Test edge-case decision logic — including denial, deception, and jamming — before it executes in a real contested orbit.

How It Works

Three steps.
Zero surprises in orbit.

01

Simulate

Model your ConOps in a high-fidelity digital twin environment. Run thousands of scenarios before a single command executes in orbit.

02

Validate

VERTEX OS stress-tests every decision against adversarial edge cases, orbital perturbations, and multi-agent collision scenarios. Fail safely in simulation.

03

Decide

Autonomous policies — trained and validated — execute with confidence. Collision avoidance, constellation coordination, and maneuver planning without ground-in-the-loop delay.

Strategic Timing

Three forces
are converging.
Right now.

The window to establish the simulation and validation standard for autonomous space operations is open. SCALOS is built to be that standard — before anyone else defines it.

01

LEO Congestion Is Exponential

SpaceX, Amazon, and sovereign operators are deploying thousands of satellites annually. By 2030, active LEO objects will outnumber human operators by orders of magnitude. The coordination problem is already unsolvable at current scale.

02

Autonomy Adoption Is Accelerating

DoD and commercial operators are mandating autonomous decision-making at the edge. Humans are no longer fast enough or numerous enough to remain in the loop for routine orbital decisions. The shift is underway — the question is whether the systems are validated.

03

The Validation Gap Is Critical

Flight autonomy systems have no equivalent of the ground testing regimes used in aviation or defense acquisition. SCALOS closes that gap: a rigorous, repeatable simulation and validation environment that meets the bar for operational deployment.
