Sat Ops

Sim engines only (RK4 gyrostat or the NASA 42 referee) - commands cannot leave simulation. The sat engine, the sat-node server, and the sat-operator inline node stay framework-resident; this package is the surface over them (ADR-102: sats ARE swarm nodes).

• Sat Fleet Status. List every satellite in the fleet — engine kind, online/offline, ADCS mode, pointing error, estimator health, wheel momentum
• Sat Orbit Catalog. List the registered TLE element sets (orbit identity per sat)
• Sat Orbit Track. Compute a satellite's orbit track (ECI + ground subpoint) from its catalog TLE via SGP4
• Sat Pass Windows. Predict ground-station contact windows (rise/culmination/set) for a TLE via SGP4
• Sat Conjunction Screening. Screen the fleet catalog pairwise for close approaches (TCA + miss distance) inside a horizon
• Draft Sat Command. Ask the sat-operator concierge to draft an ADCS command (point/detumble/desat/safe) from natural language over live fleet telemetry
• Sat Point Command. Command a pointing target on a fleet sat (SLEW→POINT on the node's local ADCS). Approval-gated
• Sat Mode Command. Command an ADCS mode (safe / detumble / desat) on a fleet sat. Approval-gated

1. 01

   You open it, or the assistant does

   Opening ?app=sat-ops loads its 1 screen into the shared cockpit, starting on sat-ops. The ribbon, the ticket list and the assistant are already there — the app contributes views, not a second application to log into.

2. 02

   Or you just ask

   The assistant classifies what you asked for and hands it to the bot that owns that domain. You do not pick the app, and you do not learn a command — routing is by declared capability, not by keyword matching a menu.

3. 03

   A named bot picks it up

   sat-operator is accountable for the work. 5 declared capabilities say what it is trusted to do; the tokens and dollars it spends are recorded against that identity, so the cost has a line item rather than disappearing into a monthly bill.

4. 04

   The result lands where you can check it

   Back on the app's own screens, as state you own — not as a chat message you have to scroll back to find.

• Routing is by declared capability, not by keyword. sat-operator advertises what it is accountable for, and the assistant matches against that.
• Asks that land here: anything about sat command drafting, anything about adcs mode planning, anything about sat telemetry briefing, anything about pass window awareness, anything about conjunction awareness.
• The specialist does the work, not the assistant. Cost, permissions and audit stay attached to the bot above — delegation does not launder accountability.
• It will tell you when it cannot. If a request needs your screen — an approval, a payment, a login — it says which app to open rather than guessing.
