Turion Space Corp., a space infrastructure company that builds and operates mission-grade spacecraft and space operations software, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Tychee Research Group, a Los Angeles-based company specializing in high-speed, high-fidelity astrodynamics and advanced mission engineering. Tychee’s flagship product, the Tychee Mission Planning Library (TMPL), is a high performance astronautics software library built to support the full space system lifecycle. The product suite extends from concept design and modeling and simulation, to ground software and flight software running onboard spacecraft. TMPL is trusted in mission-critical environments and is designed for secure deployment and embedded execution, bringing mission engineering closer to real-time operations. With Tychee joining Turion, TMPL will be integrated into Turion’s Starfire software ecosystem. This unites mission planning, maneuver optimization, and autonomous operations into a single, software-defined platform that scales from desktop analysis to on-orbit execution. “Turion’s mission is to unleash the potential of Earth orbit, and software is what makes spacecraft usable at scale,” said Ryan Westerdahl, CEO and Co-Founder of Turion Space Corp. “This acquisition brings an exceptional team and mission planning capability into Turion. Our mission-engineering logic will support everything from trade studies to operational decision-making and on-orbit autonomy.”

Full report : Turion Space’s acquisition of Tychee brings TMPL and a world-class astrodynamics team into Turion’s Starfire platform, enabling faster, more resilient, software-defined space missions.
