SPOK · OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCEVEHICLEMISSIONENVIRONMENT2026

Spaceflight operations, encoded.

SPOK holds your information environment so people don’t have to. It builds how the vehicle works from your engineering data, joins it to mission, flight rules and the world outside, and shows the pathway behind every answer.

Operations still scales with headcount.

Launch and hardware got cheap. Expert ops teams didn’t. Every spacecraft still adds people to the room, and a smaller spacecraft cannot afford the room.

Orbit got cheap. Operations didn’t.

ACCESS
Launch and hardware got cheap
Cost to LEO: ~$54,500/kg on Shuttle → ~$2,700/kg on Falcon 9.
FLEETS
Spacecraft count is compounding
Payloads launched per year: 1,263 in 2020 → 4,526 in 2025.
DEMAND
Missions demand autonomy
Lunar programs, proliferated defense constellations and deep-space missions all need operations that don’t wait for a room of specialists.

Operations that scale like software.

What an operator tracks: system, vehicle, mission, team, history. The whole information environment, how each piece changes the others, and the path to a decision. SPOK encodes it.

HOW SPOK WORKS →

Autonomy that can explain itself.

SPOK doesn’t ask you to trust its answer. It shows you exactly where the answer came from. Traceability is what lets a mission assurance board sign off; determinism is what makes it testable.

We’re modeling our first missions. Yours could be one of them.

Start with what you have. We compile your documentation into a model and deliver a gap report: what your documentation does not say about your vehicle, before it matters on orbit.
