The operating system for mission design

Aerospace runs on $50k desktop licenses and 6-month onboarding. We put validated orbital mechanics in the browser — deterministic, forkable, reviewable — the way Figma moved design and GitHub moved code.

The market moment

  • ~16,900 smallsats forecast for 2026–2035; every operator needs mission design, most can't justify STK-class licensing.
  • Incumbent consolidation (Ansys → Synopsys, closed 2025) raises prices and slows the desktop stack while the workforce moves browser-native.
  • The Figma precedent: browser + multiplayer + community beats installed incumbents on distribution, not features — and we ship both.

What is already true (validated, not projected)

  • The engine:Rust→WASM, 94 tests green on every commit. SGP4/SDP4 validated against the reference implementation to <1 m; frame reduction to 0.9 m vs Vallado's canonical vector; orbit determination, collision probability, CCSDS OEM/OPM/CDM interchange; mission sequences in one deterministic call.
  • Determinism is the trust product: bit-identical replay browser ↔ server — the server re-computes every claimed mission before humans review it (auto-SIM). No incumbent offers verifiable community missions.
  • The full loop is live at deltavdynamics.com: design → save → fork with in-document attribution → Go/No-Go review → lifecycle to FLOWN — plus an exoplanet discovery room that rediscovered π Men c at 0.002% of the published period.
  • CAPCOM, the AI flight controller: never estimates what the engine can compute, cites only a human-reviewed corpus, and runs on a provider-agnostic base layer (Claude native; any OpenAI-compatible model pluggable). The moat is the grounding stack, not the model.

Business model (modeled)

  • Free forever for students/academics (constitutional, non-negotiable — it is the talent funnel). Pro $79/mo · Crew $119/seat · Enterprise $30k+.
  • Reference model: $1.6M ARR at ~1,100 Pro + 12 crews + 8 enterprise — before marketplace and certification lines. (Model, not a projection — Blueprint Phase 12.)

See it, don't take our word

The demo is the brochure: watch a complete lunar sample-return mission — every burn, staging event, landing, and docking with its real Δv ledger — or build a mission sequence yourself. Contact: the Visitor Desk.
