Enterprise programs only

Aerospace & simulation

Rovers.
Landers.
Satellites.

Software that drives when Earth is 1.3 seconds away, that lands on a clock, that turns a bus in a clean room into a satellite.

NDA first. We show what we know, not who we built it for.

Hover a world. Scroll the page. Planets keep their years. This is the visualization class we put around real ephemerides — not a screen recording.

The contract

Drive it.
Land it.
Fly it.

A prime cuts metal. We write the software the metal runs, and the console that flies it. Not a game level. Not a consumer package.

  1. 01

    Decide without Earth

    Slip in regolith, a rock the cameras missed, a thermal limit in shadow. Those close on board, or the rover is a sculpture.

  2. 02

    Land on a clock

    Braking burn, pitch-over, hazard detection, vertical descent. Guidance is numerical integration with an error budget — not a pretty animation.

  3. 03

    Fly the bus

    A satellite is eight subsystems that have to agree under launch load and then live in vacuum. Deterministic loops. Safe modes. A command dictionary the ground can actually fly.

  4. 04

    Rehearse the burn

    Integrators with error budgets. Telemetry without dropped frames. Simulation honest enough to spend the propellant on the ground first.

What we build

The rover. Then the burn. Then the bus.

Enterprise programs only. Contact us under NDA — a full vehicle is one engagement.

Rover software

Mobility, slip, hazard maps, delayed teleop. The loop closes on the vehicle because Earth is 1.3 seconds away — a suggestion, not a joystick.

  • Uncrewed lunar lander in powered descent, engine plume throwing a ring of dust

    Landing GNC

    Powered descent, hazard detection, plume-surface interaction, touchdown reconstruction you can replay bit-for-bit.

  • Small satellite over Earth with solar arrays deployed

    Satellite bus

    ADCS, C&DH, comms, power, thermal — flight software for a stack that has to agree in vacuum. Then the ground that flies it after LEOP.

  • Deep-space ground station dish against a night sky

    Ground segment

    Pass plans, command loads, telemetry at the real rate. Operator consoles that treat one-way light-time as a first-class quantity.

How a satellite is built

Eight boxes. One vehicle.

A stack that has to agree in vacuum, under launch load, with a dish that only sees it a few minutes per pass.

Assembled once. The software has to be right before then.
  1. 01

    Mission & orbit

    LEO, SSO, GTO, GEO, or a lunar transfer. Delta-v, lighting, dishes — before a box is drawn.

  2. 02

    Bus

    Structure, harness, launch loads. The bus is the product. The payload rides it.

  3. 03

    Payload

    Imager, radio, instrument. Interfaces, data rates, pointing, contamination — written down.

  4. 04

    ADCS

    Star trackers, gyros, wheels or magnetorquers. The estimator that keeps the payload on target.

  5. 05

    Power & thermal

    Arrays, batteries, eclipse and full sun. Both are budgets. Both are software.

  6. 06

    C&DH

    Command and data handling. Watchdogs, safe modes, a dictionary the ground can fly.

  7. 07

    Comms

    Uplink, downlink, ranging. Link budget against the real dish and the real light-time.

  8. 08

    AIT · LEOP

    Assemble, test, throw. The first hours: a satellite, or debris.

The clock is the vehicle

Rehearse the burn on the ground. Then throw.

How we work

Name the vehicle. Then write the loops.

  1. 01

    Name the vehicle

    Rover, lander, or bus. Which orbit, which light-time, who is allowed to command. That catalog is the contract.

  2. 02

    Write the interfaces

    Command dictionary, telemetry, safe modes, ground. Deterministic loops. Nothing assumed from a render.

  3. 03

    Rehearse the burn

    The same class of model as the scene above: ephemerides, error budgets, a clock that does not lie.

  4. 04

    Stay with it

    LEOP through operations. The team stays with the vehicle. NDA. Written proposal. No consumer package.

Questions

Before a vehicle is enrolled

If you are standing up rover ops, a landing tool, or a bus to fly — these come first.

Yes. Aerospace work at ZyroByte is enterprise and government programs only — NDA first, written proposal, no consumer packages. We do not take hobby CubeSats or one-off student kits as this service.

Ready to stand up a vehicle?

A rover, a landing, or a satellite to fly?

Tell us which vehicle, which orbit, and who is allowed to command. We propose under NDA.
