Reduce technical risk with one system of record.
LumaTrace turns calibration data, requirement state and monitoring signals into a single operational picture of payload readiness.
9
standard calibration categories
Unified calibration workflow
Every optical test — radiometric, spectral, geometric, MTF, stray light, dark current, detector linearity, thermal-vacuum and flat-field — runs through one structured workflow instead of scattered spreadsheets.
3
alert severity tiers
Continuous payload monitoring
Observations stream in and are checked against rolling baselines, z-score thresholds and drift trends, with anomalies classified by severity the moment they cross a limit.
5
requirement lifecycle states
Requirement traceability
Every requirement is linked to the tests that verify it and carries a defined lifecycle — from draft to approved to verified — so readiness is never a matter of opinion.
4
tracked test outcomes
Technical reporting and evidence
Calibration evidence, monitoring history and alert records are compiled into a single exportable report tied to the mission, payload and test outcome that produced them.
Workflow
One continuous thread from mission to evidence.
Every payload moves through the same traceable path, from definition to verified, reportable readiness.

Calibration
Engineering-grade calibration records, not spreadsheets.
Each test category carries a target, a measured value and an explicit tolerance. Outcomes are computed against those thresholds, not entered by hand — so a passing result always means the same thing across payloads and missions.

Monitoring
Drift doesn't wait for a review meeting.
Each health metric carries its own rolling baseline, z-score threshold and trend slope limit. Observations are scored continuously as they arrive, so a slow drift or a sudden step change is flagged the moment it crosses a defined limit — not discovered weeks later in a spreadsheet.

Mission control
One picture of payload readiness, always current.
Calibration status, requirement verification and monitoring health converge into a single readiness view per payload. Engineers stop reconciling three tools before a review and start working from one.
- Calibration, requirements and monitoring share one payload identity — no manual cross-referencing.
- Every state change is attributable: who verified it, against which test, and when.
- Designed for the review cadence of hardware programs, not consumer dashboards.
Reporting
Evidence, compiled — not assembled by hand.
A single export ties calibration evidence, monitoring history and alert records back to the mission, payload and test outcome that produced them — ready for a design review or a customer audit, without a week of slide-building.

Bring clarity to every optical payload decision.
LumaTrace gives engineering teams one traceable record of calibration, requirements and in-orbit performance — so readiness decisions rest on evidence, not on whoever updated the spreadsheet last.
