Life of a space system
From inception, when customers first consider mission requirements, through decomposition, acquisition, development, testing, launch, operational deployment and check-out, and finally to decommissioning, we have the experience and earned the trust to deliver and safeguard our nation’s vital space assets through each phase of its life cycle.
With 20+ years of experience developing, executing and consulting on space-based missions, we understand the science, objectives and requirements that drive successful mission architectures
Mission design, acquisition, planning and development oversight
Arcfield delivers comprehensive systems engineering and integration expertise and experience for space missions, ensuring mission success through end-to-end design, analysis, acquisition, development, testing and validation of complex space systems and architectures
Systems engineering and integration
Automate the creation and compilation of complex, dynamic and often burdensome acquisition artifacts to accelerate the procurement process. Our human-AI teamed interface ensures responsibility, merging the power of AI with acquisition authorship expertise and experience
Advanced AI Acquisition (A3I)
In the era of dynamic, ride-share, commercial and proliferated launch, we deliver critical pre-launch analysis, risk mitigation and real-time operational expertise to ensure successful deployment and mission performance
Launch support and mission assurance
Arcfield conducts advanced high-fidelity, physics-based operational mission analysis, modeling and simulation, and visualization to monitor system performance, identify anomalies and optimize mission effectiveness throughout the mission life cycle
Operational analytics
We specialize in delivering end-to-end SmallSat and CubeSat solutions, encompassing custom spacecraft design, sensor and payload development and comprehensive assembly, integration and testing services
SmallSat development and integration
Every mission is unique, so we understand the imperative to test and calibrate options tailored to our customers’ specific mission needs. To ensure successful and consistent results, we provide pathfinder missions and low-rate initial production
Assembly, integration and testing
We provide state-of-the-art programmable instrumentation for monitoring space weather—from anywhere in the world or space—as well as hypersonic detection and tracking with unparalleled performance and versatility to ensure mission lethality
Sensor and payload design
Orion became a part of the Arcfield family of companies in Nov. 2023. Orion is a leader in atmospheric science, space exploration and research, and technology development. Together with Orion, we design, integrate and assemble SmallSats and CubeSats, as well as develop sensors, computational models and data products for the space and ground network domains.
