ConstellaSim is the only physics-based constellation simulator with built-in AI insights, RF link budget analysis, and 15-year TCO modelling — purpose-built for maritime, defense, and IoT missions.
From orbital mechanics to commercial viability — all in one platform.
Describe your mission in plain language and CARL will design the constellation. Not just a chatbot — an AI constellation engineer with direct access to the simulator. He runs real simulations, analyzes results, and iterates on designs conversationally. All you do is ask.
Walker Delta/Star geometries, inclination sweep, and Keplerian propagation. Accurate coverage maps over maritime corridors, Arctic routes, and polar regions.
Full multi-band link budget — AIS, VDES, MSS, Starlink Ku, LTE, 5G, GSM — with MCS selection, SNR thresholds, Doppler modelling, and link margin per orbital pass and per ground location.
Calibrated against real NewSpace programs. Break down CAPEX/OPEX for nanosat to microsat platforms, rideshare vs. dedicated launch, and staffing cadence.
Plotly 3D orbit views, Bokeh heatmaps, and publication-ready matplotlib figures. Export static PNG or pan/zoom HTML with a single command flag.
Sweep hundreds of Walker configurations overnight. Auto-generate dashboards, comparative TCO tables, and heatmap matrices for side-by-side constellation analysis.
Pre-configured routes, protocols, and models for the scenarios that matter most.
Analyse coverage gaps over any route — maritime, Arctic, or terrestrial. Model RF link budgets for AIS, VDES, MSS, Starlink Ku, LTE, 5G, and GSM to validate service eligibility across any frequency band before hardware investment.
Evaluate revisit rates over contested maritime zones. Model formation-flying architectures for RF trilateration. Compare SSO vs. mid-inclination trade-offs for specific threat corridors — quantitatively.
Evaluate NB-IoT link margins and direct-to-device connectivity. MSS D2D feasibility scoring per orbital pass, with benchmarks from Sateliot, ConstellaSim, and Orbcomm OG2 programs included out of the box.
Real parameters from active constellations — not synthetic assumptions.
ConstellaSim's built-in TCO engine models the full 15-year lifecycle of your constellation — CAPEX, OPEX, launch strategy, insurance, and decommissioning — calibrated against real programs.
Calibrated against ConstellaSim AIS/VDES program (€15M reported investment). Model accuracy: ±10% vs. real-world benchmarks.
