Tycho / Space operations

Mission intelligence for space operations

Tycho helps satellite operators understand what happened, why it happened, and what to do next.

It connects telemetry, commands, contact history, ground-system logs, software changes, procedures, and past incidents into a single operational intelligence layer — so teams can investigate anomalies faster and recover with confidence.

The operational intelligence layer for spacecraft and ground systems.

  1. Ground amplifier temperature began rising

    Ground-system telemetry

  2. Eb/N0 declined below historical baseline

    RF telemetry

  3. Modulation stepped down three levels

    Link telemetry

  4. Packet loss increased to 27%

    Ground-system logs

  5. Downlink throughput alert triggered

Related incidents: Two previous contacts showed the same sequence before an amplifier thermal fault.

What once required several engineers searching across five systems becomes a starting point in seconds.

01 / From alert to explanation

From alert to explanation

Spacecraft incidents rarely live in one system.

A degraded contact might involve RF conditions, scheduler behavior, ground hardware, flight software, recent commands, or a deployment hours earlier. Tycho automatically reconstructs the timeline across those systems and surfaces the events most likely to matter.

Instead of spending hours jumping between dashboards, logs, tickets, and runbooks, operators get a concise answer:

  • What changed?
  • When did it start?
  • Which systems were involved?
  • Has this happened before?
  • What should we investigate next?

02 / Mission operations

Built for mission operations

Tycho integrates with the systems you already use. It does not replace your mission-control stack.

Connect telemetry platforms, ground stations, command systems, observability tools, ticketing systems, source control, and procedures. Tycho builds a live operational graph of your mission and uses that context to accelerate investigation.

Automatic incident timelines

Correlate telemetry anomalies, contact events, commands, deploys, logs, and operator actions into a single timeline.

AI-assisted root cause investigation

Ask questions across mission data in natural language and trace every answer back to the underlying evidence.

Operational memory

Find similar historical incidents, previous resolutions, relevant runbooks, and recurring failure patterns automatically.

Contact and mission analysis

Understand why a contact underperformed, why a subsystem entered an unexpected state, or what changed between successful and degraded operations.

Human-in-the-loop recommendations

Tycho suggests the next investigation or procedure without taking control away from mission operators.

03 / Connected mission data

One operational picture

Tycho connects them.

  • Telemetry tells you what a system measured.
  • Logs tell you what software did.
  • Commands tell you what operators requested.
  • Contact data tells you what the mission was supposed to accomplish.

Mission data → tycho.st → Mission context

Telemetry + Logs + Commands + Contacts + Deployments + Procedures + Incident History

Telemetry, logs, commands, contacts, deployments, procedures, and incident history flow into tycho.st. Its operational graph builds mission context to explain what happened, why, and what to investigate next.

Conceptual data flow. Your existing systems remain the source of record.

Your team can reason about the mission as a system instead of investigating each data source independently.

04 / Operational memory

Your mission already generates the answers

They are just scattered across different systems.

Tycho turns your operational data into a continuously growing record of how your spacecraft, ground systems, and software behave together.

Every incident makes the system smarter.

Every resolved failure becomes reusable operational knowledge.

Every mission gives your team more context for the next one.

05 / Evidence and operator control

Built for high-consequence operations

Tycho is designed for environments where explanations matter.

It preserves provenance, keeps humans in control, and shows the evidence behind every recommendation. Deploy it alongside existing mission infrastructure without replacing the tools your operators already trust.
