ProgressionObservation and access gates
NEO catalog
Maintain candidate identity, orbital/source provenance, observation recency, resource hypothesis, uncertainty, and screening rationale in a versioned comparison record.
Trajectory window
Define access windows with stated ephemeris sources, propagation assumptions, timing uncertainty, energy or transfer constraints, and sensitivity to updated orbital data.
Resource data
Separate measured observations, derived estimates, analog assumptions, and unresolved composition questions before resource value enters mission trades.
Route risk
Evaluate conjunction context, observation gaps, communications geometry, timing sensitivity, alternate windows, and infrastructure dependencies as planning inputs—not as a claim of protected access.
Operations plan
Combine observation cadence, access window, system interfaces, mission-assurance constraints, decision gates, and abort/no-go criteria into a reviewable planning package.
Program access
Scope the Program.
NEO Flagship is structured for technical partners, research groups, mission-assurance stakeholders, operators, and capital teams evaluating resource-infrastructure programs.
