  • Orion Space Solutions supports CAPSTONE Program for NASA Moon Missions

    Orion’s Chip Scale Atomic Clock provides critical positioning and tracking data for the CAPSTONE Moon Mission Louisville, CO, July 18, 2022 —NASA launched its Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment (CAPSTONE) on June 28, as a part of the Artemis program, to study a specific orbit for the future Gateway lunar station. Led by Advanced Space, this mission is test driving orbital analysis that will enable NASA’s future exploration efforts. Orion Space Solutions (OSS) provides a critical satellite component that will support mission success. Space systems need reliable timing information when flying beyond well-understood orbits, into regions where GPS and other communication signals lose contact with Earth-based systems or control centers. Lacking the information provided by these standard communications, mission operators lose positioning and navigation knowledge and capabilities. The longer a system goes without updated information, the more likely it can drift away from its intended trajectory, resulting in higher potential for mission error or risk. To address this problem, OSS engineers developed the Chip Scale Atomic Clock, or CSAC, as an important part of the CAPSTONE experiment. CSAC is a precision clock able to provide critical positioning and timing data while the small satellite is in the near-rectilinear halo orbit, which is the planned orbit for the Gateway station to the moon on its future lunar mission. The low size, weight, and power of the CSAC system means it is easily integrated into CubeSats and other small satellites. Several OSS space-based programs use CSAC, giving the equipment flight-proven status. “OSS engineers and scientists develop space solutions that work,” says Mr. Erik Stromberg, OSS Senior Director of Special Programs. “With humans returning to the moon, CSAC’s ability to maintain positioning and timing data for any potential dropouts in signal are essential contributions to keeping astronauts and satellites safe for programs, such as CAPSTONE.” “CSAC will provide reliable timing information to maintain a highly accurate positioning indicator for when systems have a loss of communication or positioning for the CAPSTONE mission. While the halo orbit will not put the spacecraft behind the moon, allowing for stable communication back to Earth, no spacecraft has ever operated in the designated orbit for this mission before,” explains Mr. Gerald Thompson, Senior VP of Strategy. CAPSTONE is set to arrive at the moon in November, when it will begin its 6-month long primary mission.

Our foundation in space science and physics allows us to deliver high-quality products and services to defense and civilian customers, and create technology solutions that can be used on Earth, in space and everywhere in between. DRAGSTER With the entrance of new international partici­pants in space and with the rapid expansion of com­mercial activities in low Earth orbit (LEO), the number of space objects needing high-fidelity tracking is growing very quickly. The USSF currently tracks more than 29,000 ob­jects in LEO, up from 20,000 just a few years ago. To address this challenge, Orion developed Dragster which improves the limitations of existing atmospheric drag models with its assimilative frame­work. This forward-look­ing design means that the Dragster tool can be op­timized to leverage an ensemble of models most appropriate for the task at hand, and future improve­ments to any such models will flow directly into Drag­ster performance. OSVW Sensor Ocean surface vector wind data is critical for weather models, forecasts, ship maneuvers and flight operations for all armed services, as well as commercial maritime shipping and drilling operations. Orion developed a SmallSat form-factor payload that uses the reflection of global positioning system signals off the ocean to measure sea state and ocean surface vector winds (OSVW) for weather forecasting. The sensor is still on-orbit and we continue to collect and analyze the data. EDGE LIDAR EDGE is the world's first small-scale topographic and bathymetric scanning LiDAR that can detect small underwater objects, measure shallow water depth, and survey critical underwater infrastructure from a small UAV platform—developed and produced at Orion. EDGE provides high-definition measurements both above and below the water surface and accurately measures the transition from land to water. Additionally, the tool provides simultaneous water and bottom surface detection at sub-centimeter accuracy and precision from shore through shallow waters—an industry first.
