De-risking the Final Frontier with #DigitalTwin Technology. Trust is the most important component of any autonomous system. Before a single line of code reaches orbit, it needs to be verified, tested, and trusted. That is why we integrated a sophisticated #DigitalTwin layer into our #SpacePilot software suite. Our mission-agnostic platform creates a high-fidelity virtual replica of your spacecraft, allowing operators to: ✅ Simulate complex RPO maneuvers in a risk-free environment ✅ Validate #AI-driven decision-making through scenario playback ✅ Monitor onboard health with #realtime telemetry visualization From CubeSats to heavy-lift vehicles, #SpacePilot is #ready-to-use and adaptable to any mission profile. We’ve cut integration timelines from years to weeks. Discover how our software-defined approach is redefining satellite operations: 🔗 https://www.cus-gnc.com/ #DigitalTwin #AerospaceEngineering #SaaS #Spacecraft #SoftwareArchitecture #FlightProven

The Era of Joystick Control in Space is Over. Earth’s orbit is transforming into a high-density operational domain. With 100,000+ satellites projected, ground control is no longer a sustainable strategy. It’s too slow, too expensive, and creates a critical single point of failure. At, we’ve built #SpacePilot, the #AI-powered spacecraft autopilot. #SpacePilot isn't just an ADCS—it’s a unified onboard autonomy framework. It fuses sensor data to make real-time guidance decisions and executes complex maneuvers like autonomous collision avoidance without waiting for ground intervention. By shifting decision-making to the edge, we enable spacecraft to react to threats and optimize orbits in #seconds, not hours. Ready to see #SpacePilot in action? Explore our 100% flight-proven architecture here: 🔗 https://www.cus-gnc.com/ #SpaceTech #SatelliteAutonomy #AI #GNC #NewSpace #Innovation

AI is no longer just software. It’s moving, sensing, acting — and reshaping the physical world. On June 16, at the Italy Summit 2026 in Milan (Palazzo Mezzanotte), the conversation will focus on what’s next: Physical AI — from energy and data center infrastructure to sensing systems, robotics, and large-scale industrial deployment. We’re excited to share that our CEO, Simone Chesi, will take the stage for a 5-minute pitch in the Applications (Industry Deployment) session. A short slot — but a critical one. Because the real question today isn’t what AI can do, but where it actually delivers value in the real world. Simone will bring a pragmatic perspective on how these technologies are moving beyond experimentation into tangible, scalable impact. If you're thinking about how AI translates from models to machines, from data to operations — this is a conversation worth joining. See you in Milan. #PhysicalAI #AI #Innovation #Robotics #Industry40 #DeepTech #ItalySummit

Still energized from an unforgettable experience! Taking part in the final round of the Creative Destruction Lab in College Station, TX was more than just an event, it was a deep dive into cutting-edge innovation, bold ideas, and meaningful connections shaping the future. One of the highlights? Witnessing the Artemis II launch alongside an incredible mix of long-time collaborators and new faces. A powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Let’s keep building, connecting, and pushing boundaries together. #Innovation #SpaceTech #Networking #CDL #ArtemisII

Very soon, you will be able to run and visualize your GNC simulations directly in your browser with the SpacePilot Visualizer. SpacePilot Visualizer provides an intuitive, easy to use interface that lets you verify your GNC performance on the ground exactly as it will behave in space. The same SpacePilot software running onboard your satellite in orbit can now be monitored and visualized seamlessly on the ground, giving you full insight into every maneuver, state, and decision. From simulation to orbit and back. #SpacePilot #Autonomy #SpaceAutonomy #GNC #SatelliteSoftware #OnboardAutonomy #SpaceTech #NewSpace #AerospaceEngineering #Simulation #DigitalTwin

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” — Carl Sagan Together, we are advancing the future of autonomous space operations and opening new possibilities for exploration, science, and planetary defense. SpacePilot by CUS-GNC is joining forces with ExLabs to support the upcoming Apophis mission, a rare opportunity to explore a near Earth asteroid during its close approach to our planet, alongside ExLabs’ work with NASA and other global partners in the broader deep space exploration ecosystem. This collaboration brings together ExLabs’ expertise in advanced deep space platforms with SpacePilot by CUS-GNC’s software defined Guidance, Navigation, and Control technologies, enabling spacecraft that can adapt, navigate, and operate with greater autonomy in deep space environments. By strengthening autonomy and resilience for deep space missions, we are contributing to a new era of exploration where technology, curiosity, and collaboration move humanity forward.
