Mission Incubation
A “Bridge of Life”
over the “Valley of Death”
Meridian Space Command (simply "Meridian") services the emerging space industry (think start-ups) through a unique “Mission Incubator” model, enabling low-TRL technology projects to secure funding for, and complete, TechDemo Missions, thereby maturing to TRL~6, overcoming the “Valley of Death”, and accelerating onward expansion to commercial markets.
By partnering with you and embedding ourselves into your projects, we provide knowledge transfer of the Space Domain, and all that it takes to execute space missions relevant to your product/service.
Our success is your success! Whilst reaching TRL~6, we ensure handover to your team is established, such that going forward, you will have the ability to accomplish your mission by yourselves.
Additionally, Meridian provides end-to-end solutions for Mission Management, Operations, Software, Audits, and also runs Educational short-courses to train the next generation of Newspace Mission Operators, and educate non-space Investors about all things space!
Together with our consortium of Service Partners, and cohort of Affiliate Masters, Meridian brings a wholistic package of services that de-risks TechDemo Missions, and securely advances space technologies.
About
Mission Management
-
Our team specializes in taking low-TRL (R&D) technologies, and managing the journey to a full mission in partnership with you. From Mission Concepts to Funding to Ground Tests to Mission Success to Decommissioning, we will be with you for the full journey. Get in touch today if you have low-TRL tech that deserves a mission.
-
Skilled in proposal development, we will work with you to mature your proposal, and partner with you to see success, taking on all aspects of mission readiness, operations, and decommissioning.
Mission Operations
-
We can offer Mission Operations as either Prime (we handle all the operations with your ownership) or Backup, where you may have your own capabilities, but you recognize the requirement of backup operations in risk management.
-
Our operations adhere to the compliance requirements of agencies and other governing bodies. We deal with this, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Mission Software
-
Modern mission control centers require modern software tools. Incorporating the latest developments throughout the software industry, we can either develop specific tooling to meet your needs, or setup our pre-made solutions to ensure you have the tools for mission success.
-
When putting together all that is required for Mission Control Software, it is all too common to find good tooling solutions, yet they are all independent, not integrated. We offer a consolidated service that stitches together seamlessly (with custom integration software) the best tools on the market. If you have your own tools, then we can accommodate peripheral or core modular integrations.
Mission Audits
-
Sometimes (read: most of the time), it is a good idea to have a fresh pair of eyes review your milestone reviews (i.e. PDR, CDR, ODR, etc). We can provide an independent review for any or all of your milestones, as either a “Swift Assessment” or a “Detailed Report”. This service can pool from our “Affiliate Masters”, ensuring expertise across a breadth of domains.
-
Mission Insurance is a critical aspect of modern missions. It can be costly, depending on detailed risk assessments. We can provide a comprehensive technical and programmatic risk analysis of your mission, to be submitted to the insurers to amplify confidence in your mission.
Mission Education
-
Certificated courses in Mission Operations and Mission Management. Both are three-day courses, and are aimed at junior staff or university students, however, all are welcome. Held on-site in Leicester, UK.
-
We have a passion to share the wonders of the Universe and of space missions (past, present, future) with all ages. If you would like our team to come to your school, social club, workplace, etc, then please get in touch. Online = worldwide; in-person = only in the UK.
