About
Aliensense’s space-grade visual processing system transforms onboard cameras into autonomous reasoning modules capable of independent, real-time decision-making without ground control intervention. The platform is built on radiation-hardened, FPGA-based parallel architecture designed for extended operational endurance in power-constrained space environments.
For space situational awareness (SSA), the system simultaneously tracks dozens of approaching objects in Low Earth Orbit and calculates collision probabilities in real time. For rendezvous and docking, it enables precision maneuvering at orbital velocities with centimeter-level accuracy, supporting automated cargo transfer and spacecraft coordination without human piloting.
The same underlying technology also powers visual navigation for planetary rovers, performing visual odometry and real-time terrain analysis to identify safe paths and hazardous obstacles autonomously. Aliensense offers customers a structured 12-month integration process: conceptual design, prototype development, design refinement, testing/hardening, and final integration with full documentation handover.
