Future concept of a modular orbital data-center hub with compact companion spacecraft above Earth
SPACECRAFT INTELLIGENCE BY OPALAI

Intelligence
beyond Earth.

From Earth orbit to the Moon.
We’re building intelligence for resilient spacecraft,
satellite swarms, and orbital infrastructure.

01 / OUR FIRST PRODUCT NASA SBIR–FUNDED DEVELOPMENT
SideGuard

A clearer picture.
A more resilient
mission.

Spacecraft health is more than a stream of telemetry. SideGuard is being developed to connect telemetry, side-channel sensing, and mission context—helping teams recognize faults, understand their origin, and assess what comes next.

01
A change in behavior

Telemetry and side-channel evidence flag an unexpected power pattern for review.

Example detection: an unexpected power pattern is flagged for review.

DESIGNED FORSmall spacecraft & distributed systems

In development. Phase I evaluates advisory workflows in an Earth-analog testbed; mission rules, flight software, and operators retain control.

02 / THE CAPABILITY ROADMAPFROM INDIVIDUAL ASSETS TO ORBITAL INFRASTRUCTURE

One mission.
Many moving parts.

From understanding a single spacecraft to coordinating an orbital ecosystem, our focus spans four connected areas.

SideGuard is being developed to detect anomalies, localize likely fault sources, and provide evidence-informed recommendations for mission teams.

Inspired by NASA’s Starling mission ↗, which uses four CubeSats to explore cooperative operations. These Opal Space architectures are development concepts.

SideGuard is our first funded product. Satellite swarm formation, trajectory optimization, and orbital warehousing represent development and partnership areas.

03 / LUNAR & CISLUNAR MISSIONSEXPANDING OUR MISSION HORIZON
OUR PROJECT WORK

The next chapter
is closer to the Moon.

Our project work extends to moon-base systems and lunar missions, with cislunar operations connecting the broader vision across Earth–Moon space.

We’re exploring how mission intelligence can support a more capable, coordinated, and resilient presence beyond Earth orbit.

04 / A CONNECTED SPACE FUTURETHE OPAL SPACE VISION

Space is becoming
a system of systems.

Our vision is a space ecosystem that can understand its own health, coordinate its assets, and sustain useful operations. We’re starting with the intelligence inside each mission.

01

Understand the asset.

Bring together evidence from across a spacecraft to make its condition clearer.

02

Coordinate the mission.

Explore how individual vehicles can operate as a capable, connected fleet.

03

Sustain the future.

Connect system health with servicing and logistics for orbital warehousing and future data centers.

USE CASE / SPACE-BASED SOLAR POWER

Exploring how fault management, formation flying, and trajectory optimization can support future orbital solar-power systems—from coordinated spacecraft to resilient operations and servicing.
