01
Interpret mission context
An onboard reasoning layer translates mission intent and changing conditions into a proposed course of action.
Onboard autonomy, bounded by design
Mission intent, carried onboard.
Ramstin enables spacecraft to interpret changing conditions and replan useful mission actions through communication gaps—while deterministic tools keep every decision inspectable, bounded, and safe to execute.
Built for resilient operations beyond continuous ground contact
A controlled path to autonomy
Flexible reasoning. Deterministic control.
Ramstin separates high-level mission reasoning from execution authority, giving operators a practical way to add adaptability without removing the safeguards already built into the spacecraft.
02
Validate every boundary
Deterministic tools check resources, constraints, permissions, and vehicle state before execution.
03
Execute with control
Only actions that satisfy the mission’s explicit rules are handed to existing flight software.
One auditable operating model
Reason freely. Act within bounds.
A two-layer architecture gives the reasoning model room to interpret the mission while deterministic controls remain the final authority.
01
Mission intent
Ground defines the objective
Operators preserve authority over goals, permissions, and limits.
02
Reasoning layer
Ramstin interprets context
The model proposes useful actions when conditions change.
03
Execution boundary
Tools enforce the rules
Deterministic checks gate every action before flight execution.
04
Spacecraft systems
Existing software stays in control
Validated actions pass into the vehicle’s established interfaces.
Built to complement flight systems
Autonomy without a leap of faith.
The hypothesis is simple: combine the adaptability of mission-level reasoning with a stricter execution boundary than an unconstrained model can provide.
01
Ground-centric operations
Depend on contact windows and specialist-authored procedures for changing conditions.
02
Classical onboard planning
Provides deterministic planning, but can require substantial modeling for new mission contexts.
03
Ramstin’s approach
Adds flexible interpretation at the mission layer while preserving an auditable, constraint-driven path to execution.
