Citra Core

A space domain awareness dashboard that pulls in data from Citra's ground telescopes and antennas to show what is in orbit and what it is doing.

Why it matters

Orbits are crowded and contested. Operators and militaries need to know which object is which and spot maneuvers quickly. Citra pairs its own sensor network with software, so customers can buy the picture as a service.

How the technology works

Citra operates optical telescopes and radio antennas that process data at the sensor. Its software stack includes an orbital mechanics library, image processing and real-time signal detection.

Citra Core is the command-center view; Citra Edge brings the same picture to field units, and Citra Sim rehearses and replays missions.
