PLAN - Mission Planning Software

Maximize your mission efficiency with customizable mission planning software and improve mission schedules for both your satellites and fleet control center.

Tailor PLAN to your space mission's needs

With PLAN, our mission planning software, you can simplify and optimize your spacecraft and ground segment activity scheduling, making sure every task is handled with maximum efficiency. PLAN helps you make the most of your resources, minimizes manual operations and reduces the risk of errors.

Tailor PLAN to your needs with customizable plugins.

Manage large constellations and fleets effortlessly.

Integrate your algorithms for optimal mission planning.

PLAN also lets you integrate your own algorithms so that you have full control over mission-specific developments. It brings together requests from various stakeholders—payload operations teams, spacecraft operators, and engineers—and validates schedules based on resource models and configurable rules. The result is an optimal mission schedule and smart resource allocation.

By integrating automation and synchronizing data, PLAN helps you navigate even the most complex scheduling challenges – all while staying compliant with CCSDS and ECSS standards. Thanks to fully automated operations, REST API support, and the NATS message broker, PLAN enables seamless communication between your ground segment components, making mission management a lot easier.

With PLAN’s advanced conflict detection and resolution tools, managing complex satellite networks becomes effortless. Thousands of tasks, for hundreds of satellites, can be handled through a simple, user-friendly interface.

SATELLITE MISSION PLANNING TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

PLAN is built to adapt. Our mission planning software adjusts to your specific space mission requirements with customizable plugins, ensuring that it’s perfectly aligned with your operational needs. You get precision. You get control—every step of the way.

Mission Planning Customization

PLAN’s customizable plugins allow you to tailor every aspect of your mission planning. From optimization tools, resource models and constraints to MCS interfaces, the solution you develop will be uniquely suited to your mission. You’ll generate optimal spacecraft schedules that perfectly meet your operational demands and have full visibility and control over mission-specific algorithm development.

PLAN’s customizable algorithm capabilities allow you to adjust your scheduling strategies, ensuring seamless integration and continuous optimization. By aligning the software with your requirements, you’ll maximize efficiency and mission success.

Fully Automated Operation

PLAN makes operations easy with versatile connectivity through multiple interfaces. You decide what works best for you. Use the dynamic PLAN User Interface or connect via a robust REST API to seamlessly integrate PLAN with your existing tools.

PLAN also uses the NATS message broker to ensure efficient machine-machine communication with other ground segment components. With automated responses triggered by incoming messages, you’ll reduce manual intervention and increase responsiveness across the board.

Constellation-Ready for Seamless Network Management

Handling large satellite constellations is no longer a challenge. PLAN’s advanced conflict detection and resolution capabilities ensure smooth coordination across your entire system. It’s designed for complex satellite fleets and optimizes performance to keep everything running smoothly.

The user-friendly timeline interface can load and render thousands of tasks and resource profiles for multiple satellites at once. This gives you the power to manage large-scale satellite operations with precision and ease.

Interface with Flight Dynamics System for Smarter Scheduling

PLAN seamlessy connects with Terma’s Flight Dynamics Software (FDS), ORBIT, to retrieve orbital events and satellite visibility data—providing the foundation for accurate mission planning. This information drives the automatic creation of uplink, downlink, and image acquisition requests, feeding directly into your mission schedule with minimal manual input.

Need to integrate with a different FDS? PLAN’s adaptable architecture ensures smooth compatibility with your existing infrastructure, so you can optimize every planning cycle—no matter what tools you use.
