Architecture

Layered. Modular. Secure by design.

A system architecture engineered for mission-critical space operations — where trust must be cryptographic, deployment must respect sovereignty, and modules must compose without compromising the security envelope.

Posture

Architecture is the security boundary.

In mission-critical environments, security is not a property of the perimeter — it is a property of the architecture. Provenance, identity, authorization, and policy must be structural, not bolted on after deployment.

The system separates concerns into clearly defined layers — data, coordination, intelligence, and trust — and uses a modular composition model so that mission-specific deployments inherit the same guarantees as the reference platform.

Layered Model

Four cooperating layers.

Each layer publishes a typed contract and consumes only those of its neighbors. Coordination crosses boundaries; trust does not.

L1 · Data

Structured asset layer

Canonical representations of space-domain assets with provenance, lineage, and classification metadata bound to every record at creation time.

L2 · Coordination

Workflow & routing

The marketplace and workflow layer — discovery, negotiation, intelligent routing, and execution across organizations and jurisdictions.

L3 · Intelligence

Agents & analytics

Decision support and machine-to-machine coordination operating under the same auditing, authorization, and provenance regime as human workflows.

Principles

Five architectural commitments.

01

Trust at the protocol layer

Cryptographic identity, signed provenance, and access policy are part of the protocol — not a service that applications choose to call. The system fails closed.

02

Modular composition

Capabilities are packaged as composable modules with typed interfaces. Mission deployments select only what they need; the trust contract is uniform across compositions.

03

Sovereign & allied deployment

Topology supports public cloud, sovereign cloud, and mission-critical edge — with deployment models intended to extend toward isolated and high-assurance environments — without forking the codebase or the policy model.

04

Cross-environment interoperability

Adapters bridge technical, commercial, and operational environments while preserving classification, export-control posture, and chain-of-custody across boundaries.

05

Compliance is structural

ITAR/EAR posture, NIS2 obligations, DORA operational-resilience expectations, and AI Act categorizations are enforced where data and decisions live — not at the UI.

Scalability without trust is not enough. Mission-critical infrastructure must scale and prove itself at the same time.

Deployment

One architecture, many environments.

A · Public

Commercial cloud

Standard hyperscaler deployment for commercial workloads, with the full trust and provenance regime active by default.

B · Sovereign

Sovereign cloud

European and allied sovereign clouds for regulated, classified-adjacent, and dual-use workloads — same protocols, controlled jurisdiction.

C · Edge

Mission-critical edge

Air-gapped and tactical-edge deployments for defense and resilience scenarios where connectivity is degraded or denied.
