A mission portfolio with context
Bring mission characteristics, lifecycle reviews, conjunction history, risks and analysis records into the same workspace.
A shared view of the mission record
Cadenceby Norn Labs
Space operations · Analysis and evidence · Private preview
Keep mission decisions connected to their evidence.
Cadence brings mission context, collision-avoidance analysis, parameter baselines, requirements and technical deliverables into one traceable workspace.
For satellite operators, mission designers and engineering teams.

01The problem
A result is only useful if you can explain how it was produced.
Mission assumptions evolve. Analysis files multiply. Review documents need evidence that still points to the configuration used for the original result.
- 01Mission inputs in spreadsheets
- 02Parameters in separate registers
- 03Results in analysis folders
- 04Requirements in review matrices
- 05Decisions in meeting notes
- 06Deliverables assembled by hand
Cadence
Cadence connects mission context, the recorded analysis configuration and the evidence carried into review.
A clearer way forward ↗02What it does
Keep the engineering record connected.
Move between mission context, analysis, requirements and deliverables without losing the assumptions behind the work.
Requirements with visible applicability
Use recorded mission classification and assessed properties to explain which requirements need attention and why.
A mission-specific verification matrix
The configuration behind each result
Pin mission inputs and parameter versions to an analysis so its assumptions remain available when the working register changes.
A retained configuration snapshot
A controlled analysis handoff
Export a run manifest and import the external analysis results with checks against the recorded configuration.
A traceable result-to-configuration link
Evidence ready for review
Connect requirements to the planned approach, supporting references and close-out status, with gaps kept visible.
A reviewable evidence trail
Technical deliverables with provenance
Prepare Word reports and spreadsheet grids while retaining source references, section status and required justifications.
Reusable review documents and exports
03Inside the workspace
Inspect the result, the requirement and the review.
Each record answers a different engineering question. Select an example to see how the configuration, evidence and next action stay connected.

The analysis retains the configuration it used. Later edits to the working parameter register do not redefine this recorded result.

04From input to outcome
From mission assumptions to a reviewable deliverable.
The analysis record is a link between the work performed and the evidence submitted for review.
- 01
Define the mission
Record the mission classification, operating context, capabilities and requirements to examine.
- 02
Pin the assumptions
Choose the parameter baseline and create an analysis with the mission inputs it will use.
- 03
Run and reconcile
Export the manifest, perform the analysis with the external toolchain and import matching results.
- 04
Prepare the review
Link evidence to requirements, resolve document gaps and prepare the report for authorised review and issue.
Engineers remain responsible for analysis validity and all spacecraft decisions. Cadence preserves the analysis and review record.
Configuration to evidence
An updated assumption should not rewrite yesterday’s result.
Cadence keeps the configuration used for each analysis alongside the result, so a reviewer can distinguish a new baseline from an earlier recorded run.
- Mission context
- Inputs recorded for the run
- Parameter baseline
- Version pinned to the analysis
- Imported results
- Checked against the pinned configuration
- Review document
- Reads the recorded analysis evidence
A traceable result can still have limitations. Validation differences and manual justifications belong in the review record.
05Scope & availability
Built around engineering review, with scope agreed together.
Cadence is available for private-preview discussions with mission and operations teams. Deployment and analysis scope are confirmed for each engagement.
Your analysis tools remain part of the workflow
Analysis runs in your external toolchain. Cadence prepares the configuration, exchanges run manifests and retains the results for review.
Validation remains explicit
Reference comparisons can carry explained or unresolved differences. A stored result is not presented as independently validated by default.
Operational connections are scoped
The preview uses recorded events and imported analysis results. Live conjunction feeds and operational automation remain outside its current scope.
