Overview

Orbit Logic has developed collection planning systems for multiple high resolution imagery satellites from multiple spacecraft vendors for multiple operators. Our solutions optimize the return from these unique on-orbit assets. We offer a flexible and scalable architecture which easily incorporates additional spacecraft models as well as user-specific operational needs. Tightly coupling sophisticated deconfliction algorithms with a high-fidelity spacecraft simulator, each system produces optimized collections plans based upon vehicle constraints, plug-in spacecraft control system behavior, and target collection constraints. Orbit Logic has provided mission planning and collection planning solutions to GeoEye and DigitalGlobe for the QuickBird-2, OrbView-3, GeoEye-1, and WorldView-1 spacecraft. Based on our experience with these systems, Orbit Logic has developed a new baseline COTS product called the Collection Planning and Analysis Workstation (CPAW) which is the first true configurable COTS software for high fidelity, high performance collection planning. CPAW supports plug-in spacecraft models and dozens of configurable parameters to meet any spacecaft vendor, operator, or imagery customer's planning needs.
