Noesis Space: recovery planning for damaged satellites
Noesis describes a system that estimates what a damaged satellite can still safely do, plans recovery from telemetry, and checks each plan against physics.

- Satellite operators, CubeSat teams, and spacecraft manufacturers
- Worth noticing
- In a development simulation of a 6U CubeSat, the page reports 61 photos after a solar-array fault versus 40 with today's approach; it says this is not flight data.
Field notes
The described workflow starts from a spacecraft's own telemetry rather than relying only on limits established before launch. Noesis says it makes uncertainty explicit and leaves existing fault protection in control when its checks cannot establish a safe plan. The page outlines a staged deployment—from ground-based use through onboard shadow mode to approved recoveries—but presents that sequence as the intended path, not as an already deployed capability.
