LOD Solutions

Launch On Demand is the only privately owned solution for ground-to-space corridor navigation.

Launch & Recovery Platform (L&R)
LOD provides surveillance and coordination services that supply cutting edge support on a global basis. LOD offers a single data feed from the FAA and is the largest flight tracking network in the U.S. with over 60 disparate data feed sources.

On-orbit Collision Avoidance Analysis
Our unique patented software combines real-time data from the National Airspace System, Marine Transportation System, and a constantly updating Orbital Object Catalog to provide end-to-end Launch Collision Avoidance and Deconfliction.

Flight Safety Analysis
The execution of ground and flight safety analysis includes the ability to evaluate and model vehicle design for aerodynamic performance, structural integrity, debris lists, launch and reentry survivability, thermal demise, vehicle failure modes, reliability/failure probability, and failure trajectory simulation. Additionally, our service will comprise the ability to evaluate mission safety systems and perform flight risk analysis, consequence analysis, and distant focusing overpressure analysis. The generation of all risk metrics required by the FAA, as well as the ability to define risk mitigation approaches, including mission rules, flight safety limits, and data loss flight times and more.

Advanced Weather Forecasting and Observation
We provide specific launch weather data associated with established launch commit criteria (LCC). This includes details for wind, moisture, solar, clouds, sea states, lightning reporting, predictions, and evaluation to comply with FAA, Department of Defense (DoD) mandated criteria, as well as their own launch vehicle requirements.

Telemetry Acquisition—Launch Optics
We provide engineering imagery services or visual and multi-spectral video processing, distribution, and recording for vehicle processing events, hazardous operations, launch/in-flight operations, for both engineering analysis and media broadcast as needed.

Frequency Monitoring and Spectrum Projection
We provide on-site frequency monitoring to detect and monitor inadvertent RF energy that can cause unplanned initiation of various vehicle subsystems like rocket motors, destruct ordnance, pneumatics, release mechanisms, and avionics that can threaten public safety and mission success.
