Mission Planning Solution
From a Single Satellite to Collaborative Constellations Planning and Scheduling
Build with Leanspace and gain access to a range of mission planning tools that you can pick and choose to quickly get started. Be empowered to change, add, and evolve your custom-built system over time as you grow.
A mission planning system built on Leanspace natively integrates with other systems built on Leanspace such as Command and Control or Flight Dynamics. With full support for custom integrations and a secure environment, Leanspace has you covered for all of your mission planning needs.
Solutions built on Leanspace are implemented by leading space companies
Empowering Satellite Operations With
Hyper-Customization
With Leanspace’s smart way of building space software, you don’t need to figure out all of the mission planning functions in advance.
Whether you are planning your onboard activities for your IOD, or developing planning solutions for your constellation, have the flexibility to choose what fits your needs and change as you grow
Basic Mission Planning
Start mission planning, right from the beginning
Start by building only the mission planning functionalities that you need today, then add or change them as you progress between your PDR and CDR milestones. You can iterate quickly instead of rebuilding from scratch whenever there is a change.
Learn about our tools by following the steps below.
Define one or more commands as an onboard Activity. Schedule them with conditional logic for execution and order.
De-risk your satellite operations by assessing and comparing plans for feasibility, conflicts or constraints.
Model your contact definitions either manually or by importing them from your Flight Dynamics system or GSaaS provider. Plan and secure your contact windows, populate contacts for transmission and execute automatically.
Run orbit propogation models to compute
events such as eclipses and ground station visibilities.
Leverage our third party integration with SSA providers to gain knowledge on and track space objects. Utilize their data to further de-risk your mission planning and enable you to quickly respond to collision avoidance events.
Advanced Mission Planning
Constellation Optimization and Growth
After flying your IOD, it’s time to take advantage of more advanced tools to enable you to grow from a single satellite to a constellation. Key areas to explore are your satellite utilization data and their resource usage per request. Using this data to optimize your operations allows you to do more with your existing fleet, such as collecting more requests.
Additionally, you can use this data to develop your own matching algorithms to choose the best satellite for each request. This leads to a higher confidence level of accurate satellite positioning and image captures. Learn about Leanspace’s tools below, which enable you to gain advanced mission planning capabilities.
Collect and manage high volumes of requests and integrate them into your upcoming mission plans. Pre-define their constraints so that you can easily prioritize them and account for conflicts.
Model and propagate your onboard resources so that you understand your asset’s current and future states. Feed this data into other Leanspace tools such as Plans and Requests to optimize your asset utilization.
An advanced flight dynamics service for orbital maneuver calculations. Calculate orbital transfers, orbital plane changes, closed loops and inter-planetary maneuvers.
Prevent service and transmission disruptions by taking advantage of Leanspace’s Earth and Space weather integrations. Use forecasts with your mission planning for events such as increased cloud cover and solar flares.

"Right from the start, ClearSpace has benefitted from its collaboration with Leanspace. Very quickly the configurability and connectivity of their services allowed integration with the various elements of the flight system. LeanSpace’s responsiveness and adaptability has reinforced our approach of building as early as possible while developing capabilities in the most efficient way. This now allows ClearSpace to scale up while maintaining full control of the system functions”
