Meet OrbitLens

OrbitLens delivers advanced 3D visualization and intuitive data dissemination tools, allowing users to interactively review their processed ephemeris data, covariance ellipsoids, measurement summaries, and common orbit-analysis plots all from one accessible interface.

 

 

 

Expanded Flight Dynamics Workflows

Designed to expand ODTK functionality, OrbitLens delivers both efficiency and usability enhancements with operational flight dynamics in mind.  Users can quickly analyze processed measurements and understand results.

  • Interactive 3D Visualization
  • Display ODTK-Generated Ephemerides
  • Visualize Positional Covariance/Uncertainty
  • Intuitive Dashboards and Enhanced Graphing
  • OD-Overview and Measurement Summaries
  • Classical Orbital-Element Trending
  • Centralized Presentation of Commonly Reviewed ODTK Results

Enhanced Visualization

The power of 3D visualization can’t be overlooked. Three-dimensional trajectories, nearby objects, and uncertainty ellipsoids provide spatial context that is difficult to capture in tables or two-dimensional graphs Dynamic animation provides users with immediate understanding and insight of their orbits and gain a more immediate understanding of the quality

 

Intuitive Results

OrbitLens automatically organizes and presents frequently used ODTK outputs, reducing the effort required to generate, open, and compare multiple data products. Analysts can review dashboard-style results with interactive visuals instead of relying solely on individual reports and traditional plots, making complex orbit-analysis results easier to explain to operators, engineers, customers, and decision-makers.

We're Here To Help

Licensing & Procurement

We can help you configure the right software, modules, and term length for your mission and facilitate the purchase through GSA, prime subcontract, or direct commercial vehicles. 

License pricing matches Ansys direct — the services we wrap around it are the differentiator.


  • Floating, node-locked, and other unique license configurations.
  • GSA and contract-vehicle procurement support.
  • Annual renewal management with usage-based right-sizing.

Implementation, Training & Mission Analysis

Software alone does not produce mission outcomes. Our aerospace engineers support your implementations, explore integrations with your existing toolchains, and train your team

We don't just sell licenses, we stay engaged to support analyses you need to win programs.

  • Installation & setup, including close environment deployment support.
  • Toolchain integration: Python, MATLAB, custom data sources.
  • Training for operators, analysts, mission planners, and developers.

Who Do We Work With?

Blacknight Space supports both U.S. defense organizations and commercial aerospace companies. Our engineers hold experience across classified and unclassified environments, and our service catalog scales from two-person startups to multi-site combatant commands.
