Pricing

# Free to start. Then per satellite, per year.

Every paid plan is one price per tracked satellite, billed once a year for as long as it stays in orbit. The second and third satellite cost less, and the rate holds from there. Self-serve covers up to ten satellites. When your satellite re-enters, billing stops on its own.

After the mission

## Post-mission report

If the satellite has already re-entered, we can package the full dated prediction history, actual decay date, TLE record, and engine version as a single report.

It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription — a fit for grant final reports, academic papers, and the purchase-order reality of a mission that has already ended.
