KnownX MPT
KnownX MPT pairs a TLE-validated orbital mechanics engine with a human-controlled mission planning tool — work from mission context, adjust assumptions and parameters, and export clean technical outputs.
In active development - institutional release target: Q4 2026Overview
Most simulation products begin with a workflow and fit the physics underneath it. KNOWN is built in the reverse order. The engine is the product foundation, and every interface respects what the engine can verify.
That keeps the communication clear: if a system is not implemented and validated, it is not presented as finished.
Capabilities
KnownX MPT's capabilities are described by what they enable you to accomplish. The engine architecture, validation methodology, and system specifications are documented in our technical documentation.
Propagation
Propagate orbits with multi-body gravitational effects, propulsive maneuvers, and atmospheric influences — all verified against independent reference data. Configure initial conditions and generate accurate trajectory data across any defined time span.
Validation
Compare propagation results against documented orbital records using public TLE data from Space-Track and CelesTrak. Measure position divergence and correct models before advancing milestones.
Scenario Design
Define spacecraft characteristics, orbital parameters, and operational constraints. Adjust assumptions freely — the engine recalculates and surfaces the impact of each change. Scenarios persist across sessions.
Reporting
Export clean, traceable outputs — trajectories, timelines, and comparison data — ready for review, reporting, or inclusion in analysis workflows. All exports reference the parameters that produced them.
Validation
A trajectory can look plausible and still be wrong. KNOWN treats accuracy as a measured result: define the comparison, run the propagation, measure divergence, then correct the model before moving forward.
Select a documented satellite and public TLE.
Propagate the same orbit inside the KNOWN engine.
Compare position history across a defined time span.
Correct the physics before the milestone advances.
Current public data references: Space-Track, CelesTrak, and JPL Horizons.
Workflow
KnownX MPT's planning tool is built around how mission teams actually work: define context, adjust the variables that matter, and produce outputs that can be reviewed, compared, and acted on.
Define the orbit, spacecraft, and constraints for the scenario being evaluated.
Adjust propagation settings, perturbation models, and mission variables against the validated engine.
Export clean, citable outputs — trajectories, timelines, and comparison data — ready for review or reporting.
