Our Vision
We envision a space industry where any engineer can design a full mission — from orbit selection to spacecraft sizing to bill of materials — in the time it takes to run a meeting.
Physics guardrails ensure every result is senior-grade, whether the user has 2 years or 20 years of experience. The space industry demands concept-to-orbit in one year. The engineering tools should match that tempo.
Our Mission
Vecteur automates space systems engineering across ECSS Phases 0, A, and B1. From a single mission statement, the platform generates orbit design, constellation architecture, spacecraft sizing, link budgets, and a complete bill of materials — cross-validated against NASA SPICE, ESA Orekit, SMAD, Vallado, and ITU-R references.
We are committed to:
- 20 minutes, not 20 months: Compress Phase 0-to-PDR timelines from months of manual iteration to a single session
- Junior to senior in one click: Physics guardrails constrain every design path so junior engineers produce senior-level results
- Equations, not guesses: Every calculation cross-validated against 6+ reference tools — 99 tests, 100% pass rate
- Built for industry tempo: Concept to orbit in one year means every trade-off study must be fast, accurate, and repeatable
Roadmap to an AI-native space company.
Start with trusted AI for business and engineering. Integrate company context. Scale into a full operating system with one source of truth up to operations.
Market intelligence and Phase 0/A physics in one workspace.
Shared evidence. Teams use the same sources, assumptions, trades, and margins.
Vecteur connects to your products, suppliers, missions, requirements, reviews, and customer history.
Development runners. Agents check mission changes through development and keep the evidence reusable.
Business, engineering, program, and operations run from one source of truth.
SSOT up to ops. The company scales safely from growth to delivery with connected assumptions, decisions, and mission state.
