Perigee / Multi-module SPA
A mission operations workspace unifying spacecraft lifecycle, regulatory filings, ground-pass scheduling, flight hardware inventory, and engineering crew operations.
Overview
Perigee is designed for NewSpace mission directors, flight engineers, regulatory leads, supply-chain teams, and operations managers coordinating spacecraft from design through launch preparation and active contact operations.
Challenge
The situation before the engagement, in the client's terms.
SmallSat operators were coordinating regulatory timelines, ground contacts, orbital milestones, supply-chain lead times, and engineering tasks across disconnected systems.
FCC, ITU, NOAA, and export-control milestones could delay a mission when they were tracked in separate documents and spreadsheets.
Overlapping station bookings and antenna repointing buffers could result in lost telemetry and downlink windows.
Long lead times for flight-critical hardware made low stock and reorder thresholds mission schedule risks.
Crew assignments, launch checklists, and mission tasks were disconnected from the spacecraft and compliance records they supported.
Objectives
What the build needed to achieve before implementation began.
Unify spacecraft missions, milestones, budgets, and crew ownership
Track regulatory filings, deadlines, approvals, exhibits, and audit history
Predict orbital contact windows and detect ground-station scheduling conflicts
Manage flight hardware stock, lead times, vendors, costs, and mission allocations
Connect engineering work packages to the missions and specialists responsible for delivery
Provide command palette, reporting, JSON backup, and operational reset utilities
Solution Design
The approach that addressed each challenge above.
Perigee binds mission, compliance, ground segment, inventory, and crew data through a reactive workspace with deterministic domain engines.
The predictor calculates contact windows and link-quality metrics from orbital and ground-terminal parameters.
The scheduler checks overlap and antenna slew buffers, flags conflicts, and supports alternative-station or rescheduling actions.
Regulatory records move through drafting, review, submission, approval, rejection, and renewal states with history and exhibits.
Component stock, vendor reliability, lead time, unit cost, reorder thresholds, and critical mission allocations stay connected.
Crew-linked work packages move through backlog, in progress, blocked, review, and done stages with mission context.
Capabilities
What Perigee does in day-to-day use.
Aggregate fleet readiness, launch countdowns, ground passes, regulatory deadlines, critical tasks, and budget utilization in one view.
Track FCC, ITU, NOAA, and ITAR/EAR workflows with urgency, audit history, approvals, renewals, and exhibit metadata.
Detect overlapping contact windows and antenna repointing collisions, then support rescheduling or terminal reallocation.
Calculate AOS, LOS, azimuth, maximum elevation, duration, and contact quality for deterministic scheduling decisions.
Track mission-critical components, vendors, lead times, stock thresholds, costs, and mission allocations.
Connect aerospace, RF, compliance, and ground-operations personnel to mission-linked Kanban work packages.

Outcome
What changed for the business after launch.
6
Mission operations domains
Mission lifecycle, compliance, ground scheduling, pass prediction, hardware supply chain, and crew work packages share one workspace.
24h
Scheduling horizon
The ground operations matrix evaluates upcoming contact windows and antenna conflicts across a rolling 24-hour view.
5
Work-package stages

Conclusion
Perigee replaces disconnected spreadsheets, regulatory PDFs, ground-station portals, and hardware lists with a responsive mission operations workspace. Its implemented conflict engine, pass predictor, compliance matrix, inventory controls, crew directory, Kanban board, command palette, and JSON backup flow create one dependable operational view for SmallSat missions.
