  • Patent number: 12434864
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure may use a satellite operations center (SOC) to receive satellite commanding workflows associated with satellites in a fleet of satellites, where each satellite commanding workflow includes tasks configured to trigger at least one fleet operations ground segment element to generate at least one satellite command to cause at least one change in at least one of the satellite payload or the satellite bus. The SOC may determine contact windows associated with the satellites. The SOC may determine a command order of the satellite commanding workflows based on the contact windows and append each satellite commanding workflow to a satellite command queue according to the command order. The SOC may automatically instruct, upon each contact window commencing, satellite communication infrastructure to transmit the satellite command(s) of each successive satellite commanding workflow in the satellite command queue according to the command order.

  • Patent number: 12350726
    Abstract: A method includes providing a quantity of sheet metal, press-forming a first panel from the sheet metal to form a first stamped panel, press-forming a second panel from the sheet metal to form a second stamped panel, fixing at least one stiffener to the first stamped panel such that the stiffener extends across a width of the first panel, where a first end of the stiffener is attached to the first stamped panel at a first fixation location, and where a second end of the stiffener is attached to the first stamped panel at a second fixation location, fixing at least one onboard equipment component to the first stamped panel, where at least one of the at least one onboard equipment component is fixed to the stiffener, sealing the first panel to the second panel to form a space vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12355546
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure may use a satellite operations center (SOC) to access an activity queue of satellite activity tasks in an activity buffer, each satellite activity task being associated with at least one satellite in a fleet. The SOC may determine mission critical variables associated with each satellite activity task based on space environment context data, satellite telemetry data, the position of each satellite, and the trajectory of each satellite. The SOC may determine, for each satellite activity task, using at least one statistical model, a prioritization tier based on the mission critical variables of each satellite activity task, and determine a satellite activity order defining an order of the satellite activity tasks based on the prioritization tier of each satellite activity task. The SOC may modify the activity buffer to order the satellite activity tasks in the activity queue according to the satellite activity order.
