Change → consequence → recovery → decision
Start from a validated mission baseline. Introduce a real engineering change, trace its multidisciplinary blast radius, generate constrained recovery options, then preserve the selected solution as a new reproducible baseline.
Current engineering baseline
Deterministic first-order mission model. Click any margin for its calculation basis.
| Requirement | Measured | Threshold | Margin | Status |
|---|
Engineering history
Every baseline is immutable; new work creates a new state.
Open change set
No change is active. Introduce a change to see how ORBIT responds.
Engineering blast radius
Explainable dependency propagation — no hidden AI scoring.
Recover mission
Lock what must not change. ORBIT searches only within the remaining design freedom.
Baseline archive
Preserve what the team believed, calculated and decided at each engineering state. Historical baselines remain read-only and reproducible.

Transparent by design
V0.2 is intentionally a first-order early-phase model. Every displayed engineering result is derived from explicit parameters and deterministic equations. The tool should explain a result before asking anyone to trust it.
Active mission parameters
Edit the baseline model directly. Changes here are treated as engineering model edits, not as an open supplier change set.

Why ORBIT exists
AEON ORBIT explores a specific systems-engineering question: when a spacecraft mission changes, can software make the consequences and viable recovery paths immediately understandable without becoming another opaque optimization black box?
The core workflow is not “design me a satellite.” It is “this validated design changed — what broke, why, and what are the smallest feasible ways to recover it?”
ORBIT is positioned as an early-phase change-intelligence and recovery environment. High-fidelity mission tools remain authoritative for their specialist domains; ORBIT is designed to sit across disciplines and preserve engineering reasoning.
This V0.2 is suitable as an interactive concept demonstrator and engineering workflow prototype. It is not certified flight software and should not be used as the sole basis for safety-critical or mission-critical decisions.
