WESTMINSTER, CO, 11 September, 2024—Advanced Space, a leading space tech solutions company, was awarded a contract from General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) in support of Phase 1 of the Enterprise Space Terminal (EST) for the U.S. Space Force’s (USSF), Space Systems Command (SSC). The EST program will increase the mission effectiveness of future Department of Defense (DoD) platforms by providing a mesh laser communication network for resilient, high-capacity communications paths for spacecraft in beyond Low Earth Orbit (bLEO) regimes at crosslink ranges up to 80,000 km. Over the seven-month contract period of performance, GA-EMS will engineer and develop an Optical Communication Terminal (OCT) design leading to a Phase 1 preliminary design review. (more…)

WESTMINSTER, CO, 15 August 2024 – The CAPSTONE satellite after completing its primary navigation and Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) mission continues to be an on-orbit test platform to experiment with critical technologies needed for future cislunar missions. Advanced Space is using CAPSTONE to test multiple autonomous capabilities. The first experiments performed on CAPSTONE tested the functionality of the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System (CAPS™) software—these efforts are still ongoing. Following CAPS, Advanced Space uplinked a SigmaZero machine learning model, which was developed for IARPA to classify anomalies with spacecraft navigation. The latest experiments Advanced Space has performed on CAPSTONE validated Advanced Space’s Neural Networks for Enhanced Planning (NNEP). NNEP is a Machine Learning (ML) application that calculates and validates optimal maneuvers without humans in the loop. It’s one of the key applications in Advanced Space’s Autopilot suite of on-orbit tools to enable autonomous operations. (more…)
