Glossary
Reference for the NAVIS Orbital Interface — concepts, the decision model, and the full satellite catalog.
Every satellite in orbit
Browse the full public catalog — thousands of active objects sourced from CelesTrak — in one table with deep filters and sorting by orbit, altitude, inclination, period, and launch year.
6-Layer Decision Engine
Every satellite passes through six sequential layers — each consuming the layer before it and adding evidence to the final, citation-backed decision.
- 1. Compliance — regulatory deadline & threshold checks
- 2. Risk — collision, fuel, and battery scoring
- 3. Forecast — disposal success probability
- 4. Economics — expected-loss & Monte Carlo exposure
- 5. Decision — one of four canonical outcomes
- 6. Governance — audit log & operator override
Economic Model
How NAVIS prices risk: expected collision loss (asset value × collision probability), disposal-failure exposure, and a Monte Carlo loss distribution reported as P10 / P50 / P90.
API & Integration Docs
REST API for fleet, metrics & conjunction screening. Enterprise.
Using the NAVIS Dashboard
The dashboard summarises fleet health and the latest decisions. Drill into any satellite for its score breakdown and disposal window, then open Compliance to review thresholds and export audience reports.
Step-by-Step Onboarding
Set up your org
Create or join an organization — your fleet, members, and billing all scope to it.
Track satellites
Add public objects by NORAD ID or upload private assets; live TLEs are fetched automatically.
Tune compliance rules
Review the regulatory thresholds the engine enforces and adjust them for your fleet.
Review & export
Read each satellite's decision, then export regulator, insurer, and operator reports.
Glossary of Orbital Terms
DECISION
One of four canonical outputs the engine emits per satellite: CONTINUE, ESCALATE_REVIEW, PREPARE_DISPOSAL, or INITIATE_DISPOSAL — each backed by a citation chain.
RISK SCORE
Aggregate score (0–10) combining compliance status, collision probability, fuel reserve, and battery health. Higher means more urgent action is warranted.
SCORE BREAKDOWN
The per-factor contributions — Disposal Forecast, Compliance, Collision Risk, Economic Exposure — that sum to the risk score, each shown with its reason.
CONFIDENCE
Forecasted probability (0–1) that the recommended path succeeds, refined from real telemetry such as battery health and remaining fuel.
DISPOSAL WINDOW
Estimated days remaining before the post-mission disposal deadline (planned life minus mission day), paired with an urgency flag (LOW / MODERATE / HIGH).
EOL READINESS
End-of-life readiness score (0–100) and tier — OPTIMAL, STABLE, MARGINAL, or AT RISK — indicating how prepared a satellite is for safe disposal.
OVERRIDE
An operator's logged decision to accept, defer, or reject an engine recommendation. NAVIS advises; the operator retains final authority.
AUDIT LOG ENTRY
An append-only record of a sensitive action — a decision, override, or configuration change — capturing the actor, target, and timestamp.
