Kayhan Space Honored in Fast Company’s 2025 Innovation by Design Awards for UX Excellence

New Satcat features optimize mission planning, improve safety, and bring real-time space intelligence to operator workflows.

DENVER – Kayhan Space, a leading provider of next-generation autonomous spaceflight safety solutions, today announced three important enhancements to the Satcat Product Suite, its unified platform for satellite intelligence and operations. The additions – a Maneuver Planner, Business Directory, and an embeddable content distribution tool – empower satellite operators to plan smarter and collaborate more effectively across the space domain.


As low Earth orbit (LEO) grows more crowded, Kayhan Space is giving satellite teams the tools to stay responsive and coordinated. The Satcat Maneuver Planner supports mission-specific maneuver design, while the Business Directory enables faster collaboration and offers key metrics on operators, assets, and launch history. A new satellite viewer with orbit visualization and content distribution that can be embedded into external platforms, making it easy to share real-time asset information. Together, these tools help create a more transparent, connected, and safer space environment.

## Plan Maneuvers Optimizing for Mission Outcome and Safety
Satcat’s new **Maneuver Planner** acts as a sandbox environment, allowing operators to create and propagate theoretical maneuvers quickly, without lengthy setup procedures and over-complicated user interfaces. The planner gives users the freedom to simulate and iterate on different maneuver strategies for collision avoidance, orbit changes, and other mission needs – before committing to execution. 
This new capability marks a significant advancement in Satcat’s evolution. Building on existing operational features – such as conjunction assessments, alerting, and on-demand catalog screening – the Maneuver Planner delivers deeper decision support and greater planning flexibility, enabling mission teams to act proactively, optimize outcomes, and coordinate more effectively in an increasingly dynamic space environment. 

Satcat Maneuver Planner is truly unique, as it brings together macro-level knowledge of the orbital environment with micro-level mission-specific requirements to deliver a unified mission operations strategy that optimizes both mission outcome and safety. 

#### Key features include:
- Trade space generation to explore multiple maneuver variants
- Custom time windows and screening parameters for full mission flexibility
- Visual comparison tools, including B-plane plots
- Instant simulation of uploaded OPM files

 

“Satcat Maneuver Planner allows satellite operators to combine their routine orbit maintenance maneuvers (OMMs) with collision avoidance maneuvers (CAMs), optimizing for the outcome and safety,” said Siamak Hesar, CEO and co-founder of Kayhan Space. “Historically, these functionalities, although very similar in nature, are performed separately and in bespoke fashion. With the increased frequency of CAMs, the optimal solution is to combine the OMMs and CAMs as much as possible. Satcat Maneuver Planner delivers this industry-first capability to all operators, while also making it easier to share their maneuvers with other operators.” 

#### Key benefits to operators:
- Significantly less number of CAMs by combining them with the OMMs
- Improving the overall safety of the orbital environment by enabling operators to be more proactive rather than reactive in avoiding collisions and to better coordinate with other operators
- More efficient maneuver design and operationalizing the workflow
- Ability to conform to the industry standards and efficiently communicate maneuver intent with other operators without the need to expend additional resources
 

## Building A Connected Space Ecosystem:
With a vision to unify space operations and increase cross-operator transparency, last week, Kayhan Space launched the [Satcat Business Directory](https://www.satcat.com/businesses). It is a first of its kind database with detailed listings for thousands of satellite operators, manufacturers, agencies, and service providers worldwide to help satellite stakeholders find each other, validate ownership, and streamline coordination. 
“Satcat Business Directory lays the foundations of a truly connected, coherent, and coordinated space industry,” said Hyun Seo, Chief Product Officer of Kayhan Space. “Every aspect of a space business, from satellite operators and engineers to business development and strategy teams, can now rely on Satcat.”
 

## Embed Real-Time Space Data Anywhere:
Also new is **Satcat’s iframe embedding feature**, which allows users to post live or historical space object analyses, satellite visualizations, and metadata directly into their own digital environments – from internal dashboards and Confluence pages to customer portals and mission operations centers. 
Rather than sharing screenshots, teams can embed dynamic 2D or 3D views of orbital activity – similar to embedding a Google Map – bringing real-time context into any workflow or documentation system. This capability is in line with Kayhan Space’s vision of connecting various sectors of the space industry by the power of technology.

Kayhan Space Launches Satcat Product Suite, the Industry’s First Unified Space Intelligence and Operations Platform

Kayhan Space is proud to have earned the trust of the OSC to perform this crucial task. As the OSC continues its work to stand up the future of commercial space traffic coordination, we are committed to supporting their efforts and helping to create a safer, more secure space environment for all operators.

In accordance with [Space Policy Directive 3 (SPD-3)](https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/space-policy-directive-3-national-space-traffic-management-policy/), the Department of Commerce's [Office of Space Commerce (OSC)](https://www.space.commerce.gov/) has been tasked with taking over responsibility for managing commercial space traffic. This crucial shift transfers commercial space traffic coordination duties from the Department of Defense (DoD) to the OSC, reflecting the growing need to manage the increasing commercial activity in space and ensure a safer space environment.

The OSC is steadily progressing toward the full implementation of the [Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS)](https://www.space.commerce.gov/traffic-coordination-system-for-space/), a platform intended to manage commercial space traffic. TraCSS will provide satellite operators with timely warnings about potential collisions or conjunctions, alerting them up to six times per day to take necessary action. This system will enhance safety for spacecraft in orbit and help sustain the growing commercial use of space.

In its [initial phase](https://www.space.commerce.gov/commerce-departments-new-traffic-coordination-system-for-space-launches-initial-capabilities/), the TraCSS system will utilize data from the existing [DoD High Accuracy Catalog](https://www.space-track.org/). Over time, however, it will start incorporating tracking and ephemeris data from satellite operators, commercial sources, and SSA service providers. This evolution will enable TraCSS to offer more precise and comprehensive tracking of space objects, leveraging cutting-edge commercial SSA technologies to enhance space traffic management.

To ensure the success of this transition, the OSC has conducted two pathfinder programs over the past year: the [LEO Pathfinder](https://www.space.commerce.gov/office-of-space-commerce-initiates-tracss-pathfinder-projects/) and the [Improved Operator-to-Operator Ephemeris Pathfinder](https://www.space.commerce.gov/office-of-space-commerce-announces-new-commercial-pathfinder-project-for-tracss/). These initiatives are designed to evaluate the capabilities of commercial SSA data providers in maintaining a space object catalog, a responsibility traditionally managed by the DoD. Additionally, the pathfinders assess the quality of conjunction alerts generated for spaceflight safety.

Kayhan Space has played a critical role in these pathfinder programs, serving as a Data Quality Monitor (DQM). In this capacity, Kayhan Space acts as an independent evaluator, ensuring that the data being integrated into the TraCSS system from commercial providers meets stringent quality standards. As TraCSS evolves to incorporate data from multiple sources, the role of an impartial third-party evaluator like Kayhan Space becomes increasingly important. Kayhan’s function is to verify that both the incoming data and the SSA-derived products meet the necessary accuracy and reliability requirements.

Throughout the pathfinder efforts, Kayhan Space has collaborated closely with the OSC team and other commercial SSA data providers, offering their expertise to support a successful execution of the TraCSS implementation roadmap. This collaboration demonstrates the essential partnership between government agencies and the private sector in developing the next-generation space traffic management system.

Kayhan Space is proud to have earned the trust of the OSC to perform this crucial task. As the OSC continues its work to stand up the future of commercial space traffic coordination, we are committed to supporting their efforts and helping to create a safer, more secure space environment for all operators.

Users can also use the <a href="https://www.satcat.com/globe" target="_blank">3D globe view</a> to view all tracked objects circling Earth.

Each tracked object has a reference page that contains information such as its orbit, last TLE update, country of origin, launch date, object type, and historical trends of orbital elements. Users can use this page to track an object's path around the Earth and obtain a 10-day visibility forecast relative to the user's location and historical TLE data up to 4 years prior.

Introducing: Satcat

Kayhan Space’s autonomous space traffic coordination platform is better than ever with a suite of new improvements!

[Kayhan Space’s autonomous space traffic coordination platform](https://kayhan.space/products/pathfinder) is better than ever with a suite of new improvements!

# Navigating Pathfinder™ 3.1
[Pathfinder**™** 3.1](https://kayhan.space/products/pathfinder) focuses on enhancing and simplifying key areas of satellite operations, offering teams better visibility of their constellations through more flexible and streamlined workflows.

## Heartbeat Notifications Toggle
Operators asked, and we listened! 

The new **Heartbeat Toggle** enables operators to choose how they receive non-critical CDM notifications, opting to receive reports in batches rather than individually.

## Screening App Improvements
**Pathfinder™ Screener** continues to be the ideal tool for satellite operators seeking to lower operational workload by reducing the number of future close approaches caused by maneuvers.

With the new design updates, operators can to submit a Primary <> SP Catalog screening job in little as 5 clicks! The fastest time to submit a screening job in the UI is 8.7 seconds — think you can beat it?

## Differential Drag Maneuver Profiles
The 3.1 upgrade comes with enhanced capabilities for Pathfinder™ Pro users. Pathfinder™ Pro now offers LEO operators an additional tool for mitigating conjunction events: differential drag maneuver profiles.

- Generate both high and low-drag profile maneuvers for active conjunction events
- Test multiple drag scenarios with one tradespace generation
- Non-propulsive payloads can now participate in Operator to Operator events

Stay ahead of your missions and optimize fleet operations with Pathfinder™ Pro’s full-scope space traffic coordination suite. Let us show you all of these brand new capabilities — [schedule a demo with our team here](https://calendly.com/kayhan-space/45-min)!
