What to Know

The next generation of spacecraft will be software-defined and autonomous.

AMROK builds the software infrastructure that helps spacecraft perceive their environment, evaluate autonomous capability, and operate at the edge.

Autonomy Infrastructure

Build, test, and field autonomy at software speed.

AMROK gives spacecraft teams reusable software for developing, evaluating, and deploying autonomous capability across missions and spacecraft architectures.

Perception

Edge software that helps spacecraft understand nearby objects, relative motion, and their operating environment.

Simulation & Validation

Software environments for evaluating autonomous capability across sensor, lighting, geometry, motion, and mission conditions at scale.

Runtime Autonomy

Deployable autonomy software designed for spacecraft architectures and flight-constrained edge compute.
