The Living Orrery
An interactive visualization using current and estimated celestial positions with illustrative sites and paths. It shows how route choice changes with visibility, weather, and destination.
Run the model ↗Optical network coordination / Autonomous space systems
AstraShift
The coordination layer for optical networks where weather, orbital geometry, and autonomous nodes all move at once.Open the Living Orrery ↗Why it exists
Keep the route useful when weather and geometry move.
Optical links are fast and fragile. AstraShift evaluates openings, aligns moving assets, and helps operators plan around a network that cannot stay still—from Earth sites through LEO and out past the Moon.
AstraNode extends that coordination into the system itself: an autonomous relay node designed to operate as part of the network.
What exists today
A working model, active system development, and a defined validation path.
These are the systems Argentora is developing now and the work that advances each one.
AstraShift coordination
A coordination system for motion-aware path evaluation, scheduled contacts, storage, and recovery. Current work focuses on architecture, implementation, and scenario validation.
AstraNode
Argentora’s autonomous mobile relay node. Current work covers spacecraft architecture and the subsystems required to support it.
Current validation
Start with one expensive route failure.
Current validation focuses on real mission scenarios: weather-aware ground-station failover, rerouting across scheduled contacts, and other failure modes operators already have to manage.
