Black Swan

for satellite integrators and operators to enable the next step in in-orbit capabilities

Black Swan builds software for satellite integrators and operators working toward greater in-orbit autonomy.

Its core product, the Mission Design Simulator, is a virtual environment for prototyping and testing an entire space mission in real time within one software package, covering orbital mechanics, rendezvous-and-docking simulation, moving ground assets, mega-constellation design, Monte Carlo analysis, and hardware- and software-in-the-loop testing, with integrations for Matlab, Simulink, and a Python API. A companion RPO Kit is a plug-and-play spacecraft payload for autonomous navigation manoeuvres, using vision-based target tracking with 6DoF pose estimation, real-time onboard processing, and docking accuracy reported at a few millimetres. As an automation tool for the space sector, Black Swan focuses on giving mission teams autonomy earlier in the mission lifecycle.

The site doesn't publish pricing details in the available content, so specific plan costs aren't confirmed here. Satellite teams planning a mission can look into the Mission Design Simulator to prototype and test the mission before committing hardware.
