Ephemeris

Edge-AI predictive maintenance for spacecraft subsystems

Detect → Diagnose → Act

Mission-time autonomy is bottlenecked by ground-loop diagnostics. Ephemeris recaptures that budget with onboard inference at the edge.

The problem

Mission-time autonomy for spacecraft is bottlenecked by ground-loop diagnostic cycles.

When a subsystem drifts out of nominal, operators often cycle through downlink, analysis, and uplink before acting. That latency consumes autonomy budget—and gives failures time to cascade across power, thermal, and avionics.

The solution

Ephemeris closes the loop on board, at the edge.

Telemetry flows into lightweight onboard inference. Each cycle produces three outputs: detect, diagnose, and act—before the anomaly becomes a mission-ending event.

Detect → Diagnose → Act

Ephemeris runs a three-stage onboard pipeline every inference cycle.

P1 Detect

Omen

Anomaly + RUL

Surfaces early failure signatures and remaining-useful-life signals from subsystem telemetry—so operators see drift before it becomes loss of mission.

P2 Diagnose

Vigil

Subsystem attribution

Identifies which subsystem is responsible for an anomaly, with confidence—narrowing the search space that ground teams would otherwise explore manually.

P3 Act

Ultio

Safety-gated actions

Recommends next steps via rules and learned policy—always gated by safety constraints so autonomy never outruns operator intent.
