A satellite over the night side of Earth with teal telemetry streams and a knowledge-graph network

Project VELA

The autonomous AI for satellite anomaly investigation. A telemetry deviation becomes a cited root-cause narrative and a drafted recovery procedure — reasoning across the spacecraft's own manuals and knowledge graph, every claim traceable, and air-gap deployable.

A Verified Evidence Layer for Anomalies: every claim is verifiable, or it is blocked.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”
Onboard or ground systems detect a telemetry deviation on a spacecraft
1 · Edge detects
A telemetry deviation is flagged — onboard, or by ground detection.
VELA builds a cited root-cause narrative from the spacecraft knowledge graph
2 · Ground explains
VELA investigates and builds a cited root-cause narrative.
A cited, ready-to-run recovery procedure
3 · Resolve
A cited recovery procedure, validated and ready for your team to run.

Why VELA

Section titled “Why VELA”
Cited or blocked Every narrative and procedure claim resolves to the spacecraft's own manuals and knowledge graph — or it is emitted as UNGROUNDED and held from release.
End-to-end agentic investigation From the first deviation to a drafted recovery, VELA runs the whole investigation itself — triage, hypothesis, validation, and drafting — as a deterministic agent graph that reaches data only through an audited boundary.
Air-gap & sovereign deployable Runs fully offline with in-memory stores and keyword search, or against your own Neo4j and Qdrant — no external calls, no CDN, no data leaving the ground segment.
Standards-universal ingest Telemetry enters through one swappable source: CCSDS / PUS, XTCE, Yamcs, OpenC3, MQTT, or seeded replay — the reasoning above it never changes.
Deterministic & reproducible Graph traversal, event forming, and citation checks are deterministic and unit-tested; replay is seeded, so an investigation reproduces exactly.
Predictive, not just reactive Beyond live faults, VELA projects remaining-useful-life from each component's degradation trend — surfacing the failure that is coming, not only the one that already happened.
