§ PThe Platform

One instrument, six working parts.

OrbitX is a single observation record with several ways in. Nothing in the interface is computed anywhere the API cannot reach.

§ P.1Modules
Fig. 01

Sensor Fusion

Radar, optical and RF observations reconciled into one state estimate per object, with the residuals kept visible.

Fig. 02

Catalogue Services

Thirty-five thousand objects, each with provenance, manoeuvre history and an immutable observation log.

Fig. 03

Propagation

High-fidelity dynamics with drag, solar radiation pressure and third-body terms — covariance travels with every state.

Fig. 04

Conjunction Screening

Continuous all-on-all screening, prioritised by probability rather than proximity alone.

Fig. 05

Manoeuvre Advisory

Avoidance and phasing burns proposed with propellant cost and downstream orbit consequences.

Fig. 06

Interfaces

REST, streaming and SDKs in Python, TypeScript and Rust. Everything the interface shows, the API returns.

§ P.2Architecture note

Every number carries its uncertainty.

A position without a covariance is a rumour. OrbitX refuses to publish one without the other, in the interface, in exports, and in every API response.
