Become a sponsor to Nyx Space
Democratizing High-Fidelity Astrodynamics
Nyx Space is a fast, reliable, open-source alternative to legacy proprietary software. Spearheaded by Chris Rabotin, the ecosystem—anchored by the Nyx propagator, Anise infrastructure library, and Hifitime—provides the high-precision tools needed for modern mission design, navigation, and orbit determination.
Flight Proven & Industry Trusted
- Flight Heritage: Successfully supported the Blue Ghost lunar landing (March 2025), NASA's CAPSTONE mission, and the Masten XL-1 program.
- Industry Adoption: Trusted by new space leaders including Rocket Lab, Firefly, and K2 Space on flagship missions and critical flight dynamics products.
- Research & Infrastructure: Powering radio astronomy at the Murchison Widefield Array and cloud-compute innovations at Amazon Web Services.
Your Impact
Sponsoring Nyx Space directly supports the maintenance and expansion of these vital tools. You aren't just funding code; you are lowering the barrier to entry for space exploration and empowering engineers, researchers, and students to build the future of orbital mechanics without prohibitive costs.
If our tools enable your groundbreaking work, consider helping cover a $15 lunch every business day of the month.
