TRL11

Okay … we get it. Our SAVER edge computer is a halo product. It’s going to change how satellites gather and communicate mission critical electro-optical data. But we’ve also got to give some love to the humble HANS, our space hardened network switch. Five of these little beauties “rolled off of the assembly line” … meaning they were hand assembled right here in Irvine CA this past week.

More coverage of our technological partnership between Starris and TRL11 on SpaceNews. Every indication is that intelligent electro-optical payloads are the future for on-orbit SDA and RPO. We are pushing the technological limits with our Video Intelligence Platform, and combining this with the Starris Monolithic Telescope technology will result in real progress for improving mission assurance.

You may have seen the announcement on Payload this morning about the partnership between TRL11 and Starris. Allow us to elaborate. The technological advancement of combining TRL11’s expertise in intelligent machine vision, on orbit event detection, and prioritized video distribution - with Starris’ powerful and ultra compact monolithic telescopes creates a meaningful advancement in the ability to detect, and most importantly, visually characterize objects placed in neighboring orbits. What does this mean? It means that by adding a monolithic telescope to our cutting edge electro-optical RPO platform you gain a significant advancement in mission assurance by creating a defensible space around your spacecraft, and adds the ability to determine if that flyby was an intentional incursion or an accidental passerby. Let’s talk specifics about the first product that benefits from this integration. Precisely synchronized stereo cameras for depth sensing (and more) A third wide FOV camera available in visible light or LWIR A monolithic telescope for resolved imagery to 10km A powerful edge computer running TRL11’s VIP software suite for ingest, analysis, transcode, and distribution Native integration with the VIP Link communication protocol for the fastest, most reliable downlink in the industry. It’s a lightyears advancement in protecting your mission, protecting your assets, and protecting your space.

Integrating Starris monolith optics with TRL11's Video Intelligence Platform transforms our state-of-the-art electro-optical RPO system into a revolutionary Space Domain Awareness tool capable of characterizing objects up to 10km away using resolved imagery in near real time. No incursion goes unnoticed. Defend your space.

Beautiful Southern California and Baja California viewed from LEO. This video was captured on our D-Orbit D-Orbit USA mission using TRL11's Fovea M1 4k full-motion camera and our SAVER on-orbit edge computer. TRL11's Video Intelligence Platform provides the easiest path for integrating A.I. enabled video on your next mission.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new mission control center at Vast by CEO Max Haot and Mayor Rex Richardson was a moment to remember. Enjoy!

TRL11 were honored to attend Vast's ribbon cutting ceremony for their gorgeous new mission control center! We want to acknowledge the warmth and generosity of Max Haot and his amazing team for including us on this historic day. And thanks to Mayor Rex Richardson for his leadership in developing a healthy and growing space economy for the great city of Long Beach!

What the heck is Triclops? Is it a three lens camera system user for RPO on-orbit? Yes! Is it a powerful edge-computing platform? Yes! Is it a three-eyed mutant warrior from an obscure comic book universe? No … but it is a powerful tool in the battle for space supremacy. TRL11’s “Clops” platform combines precisely matched stereo camera pairs, plus 1-2 additional cameras and the edge processor that becomes the centerpiece of your mission’s image and video gathering capabilities. Triclops works natively with our Video Intelligence Platform for event detection and highly optimized downlink. Triclops has achieved TRL9 and is currently on-orbit. 

TRL11 cameras, like the Fovea M1, are changing how we view space. A camera producing gorgeous full-color 4K video from orbit would historically have clogged the downlink pipeline with useless video. But Fovea’s native integration with TRL11’s SAVER on-orbit edge computer means that you can reduce downlink bandwidth requirements by 99%. Coupled with TRL11’s event detection algorithms, mission managers have immediate access to the most important video data, instead of waiting days for large video files to download. With 19 cameras on-orbit, and hundreds in the pipeline for launch ... we'll see you in space.

Summer time is #internseason ! Please help us welcome Mr Pierce Clark to TRL11. Pierce is a rising sophmore at Harvey Mudd College where he is studying engineering. In addition to his studies, Pierce is a collegiate middle-distance runner who made Second Team All-American in his freshman year. Pierce has been contributing to the mechanical engineering team, working on projects in the CAD environment, and designing a telescope collimator. Welcome Pierce!
