Star Tracker
Star Tracker is an optical attitude sensor that determines spacecraft orientation by identifying stars in its field of view and comparing observed star positions with an internal catalog to compute…
Hardware
State Estimation
State Estimation is the inference of a system's internal state from measured data, model behavior, or both. It estimates what cannot be directly observed.
Operations
State Synchronization
State synchronization is the process of ensuring that distributed components share a consistent view of operational state. It is used so failover, steering, and session handling continue to work when…
Concept/Framework
Static Routing
Static routing is a routing method in which routes are explicitly configured by an operator rather than learned through a routing protocol. The router forwards traffic according to those fixed…
Concept/Framework
Station Keeping
Station Keeping is the operational process of maintaining a spacecraft or satellite within its assigned orbital position and attitude limits through periodic maneuvers and corrections.

Storm Avoidance Data Link
Storm Avoidance Data Link is the communications link used to transmit storm-avoidance advisories, forecasts, or route changes to Maritime operators. It supports safety-aware navigation and enables timely operational response to…

Subnet
A subnet is a portion of a network’s address space that has been divided into a smaller routable segment. It is used to group hosts, control traffic, and simplify administration.
Concept/Framework
Supervisory Control
Supervisory Control is a control layer that monitors processes and issues high-level commands rather than directly regulating low-level behavior continuously. It oversees the process through coordination and command rather than…
Operations
Supervisory Control System
Supervisory Control System is a higher-level control system that monitors processes and coordinates lower-level controllers and field devices. It oversees local control rather than replacing it.
Operations
Surveillance Relay
Surveillance Relay is a relay link or node that forwards surveillance data or extends surveillance communications coverage.
