Moontower Mission Control

Mission operations without the mission-control headache.

Moontower Telemetry, Command and Analytics connects hardware, telemetry, command, and mission data in one operating environment, from test to field to flight.

Moontower Mission Control is the screen your team uses to watch and command its hardware. Moonbeam carries the data. Moontower DAQ is the board on your test stand.

One record for the test and the flight.

From the bench to flight
  • Monitor

    See telemetry, health, and status for every asset.

  • Command

    Control the hardware from the screen that shows its data.

  • Connect

    Move the data over the link that holds.

  • Test

    Capture timestamped data at the stand and drive the valves.

  • Integrate

    Put a Raspberry Pi, a Pixhawk, or an Arduino on the same screen.

Test as you fly

You shouldn’t have to rebuild mission control for every test, every vehicle, and every new application. Today a team builds one setup for the bench, another for the field, and a third for flight, and each one starts from scratch. One mission control should run from the bench to the field to flight, with the same screens, the same commands, and the same data the whole way.

  • Telemetry

    One application for all your telemetry, from every board and every link.

  • Command

    One application for every command you send, on the bench and in flight.

  • Data

    All your data in one place, in sync, and there when you need it.

Architecture: three parts, one screen

Mission Control

The screen opens on the whole fleet, with each asset’s status, health, and live telemetry. You send commands from the same screen, and each command waits for a second action. Every value and every command goes into one recording. A person runs it from the screen, or an AI agent runs it through the API.

Stay connected as links change.

Moonbeam

Moonbeam carries telemetry down and commands up over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LTE, 5G, and LoRa. It picks the link by range and signal quality. When a link narrows, your top-ranked channels go first, and the board sends the full-rate data when the link returns.

Read and drive the test stand.

Moontower DAQ

A data acquisition (DAQ) kit your team assembles, soldering included. It costs $100. It reads pressures, temperatures, and digital lines at the stand, and it drives the relays for your valves. Each reading and each valve command carries a timestamp, so both line up on one time axis.

Applications

Rocket and CubeSat teams

Build. Test. Launch. Repeat.

Your setup stays on the screen when your members graduate.

University labs

Your research should be the hard part.

The grant buys the instruments. Moontower Telemetry, Command and Analytics puts them on one screen without months of wiring and scripts.

Hardware startups

Keep your engineers on your product.

Your engineers work on the vehicle, not on stand drivers.

Builders and field operators

Your garage just got mission control.

Cameras, rockets, uncrewed boats, and remote stations report their health to one screen.
