BUILDING TECHNOLOGY FOR SPACECRAFT AUTONOMY

At Zenith Ascent, we are building technology for spacecraft autonomy. Our mission is to enable independent, self-sufficient space operations, from Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond.


We are developing zeniVis, a smart camera payload combining embedded AI and Vision-Based Navigation (VBN) software to estimate a target spacecraft's full 6-DoF relative pose onboard, in real time. Designed for CubeSat and SmallSat missions, zeniVis targets applications including inspection, in-orbit servicing, active debris removal and space domain awareness. Its open, software-defined architecture is designed to support customer-deployed AI applications.


Our long-term vision extends beyond today's commercial space market. We aim to contribute to the autonomous operations and future logistics infrastructure that will enable the next decade of space exploration and help make a lunar economy a reality.
