🛰️ SD.31.04 • Satellite Constellation Observability

Satellite Constellation Observability

Make satellite constellation AI explainable. Every orbit adjustment, every collision avoidance maneuver, every inter-satellite handoff—observable, queryable, and auditable.

"Why did the satellite change orbit?"

Finally, an answer that takes seconds instead of days.

Query Any Event Instantly

Structured EventIDs make constellation-wide investigation possible

🛡️ Near-Miss Investigation

Reconstruct every decision during a conjunction event

SELECT * FROM events
WHERE event_id LIKE 'satellite.proximity%'
AND timestamp BETWEEN
  '2026-01-30T08:00:00Z' AND
  '2026-01-30T08:05:00Z'
ORDER BY timestamp;

🔄 Maneuver Analysis

Track all orbit adjustments fleet-wide

SELECT satellite_id, event_id,
  delta_v, fuel_consumed
FROM events
WHERE event_id =
  'satellite.orbit.maneuver_executed:1'
AND date = '2026-01-30';

📡 Handoff Tracking

Monitor inter-satellite laser link transitions

SELECT source_sat, target_sat,
  handoff_latency_ms
FROM events
WHERE event_id =
  'mesh.routing.handoff_completed:1'
AND region = 'NORTH_AMERICA';

🗑️ Deorbit Audit

Full lifecycle tracking for space debris compliance

SELECT satellite_id, launch_date,
  deorbit_initiated, reentry_date
FROM satellite_lifecycle
WHERE status = 'DECOMMISSIONED'
AND deorbit_compliant = true;

Why Constellation Observability Matters

Structured events enable capabilities impossible with traditional telemetry

Collision Avoidance Audit

Every proximity alert, every maneuver decision, every thruster firing—traceable and explainable.

Fleet-Wide Patterns

Identify systemic issues across 6,000+ satellites. Detect anomalies before they cascade.

Regulatory Compliance

Automated reporting for FCC, ITU, and international space agency requirements.

Real-Time Anomaly Detection

ML models trained on structured events identify deviations across orbital shells instantly.

Mesh Network Visibility

Track laser inter-satellite links, routing decisions, and bandwidth allocation globally.

Lifecycle Management

Track every satellite from launch to deorbit. Prove space debris compliance.

Space Debris Mitigation Compliance

FCC, ITU, and International Requirements

Space agencies worldwide require operators to demonstrate responsible constellation management. Event Model provides the structured audit trail needed for FCC Part 25 compliance, ITU Radio Regulations, and emerging international space sustainability frameworks. Every maneuver, every deorbit decision—documented and queryable.
