Helion is a small set of tightly integrated services. We try to keep this page honest and current; if it disagrees with the live product, the product wins, and we update this page within a week.
One normalised state model across every bus. Sub-second stream-to-API. Replayable contacts, original raw frames retained.
A single opportunity queue, ranked by mission value and fuel budget. Drag-and-drop re-tasking with diff and roll-back.
Watchdog rules run on every contact. Configurable response chains. Full incident timeline attached to a single URL.
Ground-station orchestration across our network and yours. Handoff is automated; failover is automatic and visible.
Every command signed and replayable. Every operator action timestamped. Regulator questions answered in an afternoon.
GraphQL and gRPC. The same surface we use internally. No legacy XML, no "contact us for the enterprise version".
Sub-decimetre pointing, 1U payload bay, ideal for IoT and AIS.
Mid-resolution optical, dual-mode S/X-band, our most-deployed platform.
Sub-metre optical, full-motion steerable, four-mode SAR.
Bring your own. We have shipped against 14 sovereign buses in the last 36 months.
The view from the operator's chair, during a routine LEO contact.
It is 04:14 UTC. The on-call operator is asleep. The Helion anomaly engine has been watching the downlink since AOS, ninety seconds ago. Three watchdog rules fired: a slow drift in the X-axis gyro, a transient over-current on the propulsion bus, and a missed tasking deadline from a peer operator.
The engine resolves the first two by issuing a routine reset and a ground-station handoff. The third it escalates, opening a P1 ticket and waking a human with a single attached URL: the full incident timeline, with original telemetry, command log, and the AI-generated summary. The human is on the call twenty-three minutes later. The anomaly is already contained.
This is what we are building. Not a dashboard. A place where operators can stop running their own ground software.
Short list. More important than the long list.
