Get every mission launch-ready with less work.

Take your mission Upstream

Upstream turns mission details into one adaptive plan that coordinates every approval, deadline, regulatory filing, launch-provider deliverable, and partner handoff required to launch.

The work of getting to orbit lives everywhere.

A single compliance requirement can touch engineering, legal, mission operations, leadership, a launch provider, and an outside partner. Today, every team rebuilds the same mission in a different tool.

  • Mission information is collected and translated again and again
  • Dependencies disappear between documents, inboxes, and portals
  • Technical changes invalidate work without warning
  • Readiness problems surface when time is most expensive

One mission record connects everything required to launch.

Upstream gathers verified information from the teams that know it, maps it to every requirement, and keeps the entire launch plan current as the mission evolves.

From mission details to launch-ready work.

Define the mission once. Upstream maps the path, coordinates the work, and keeps every downstream requirement current.

The coordination layer for every path to space.

Explore how Upstream connects teams, verified mission information, partner handoffs, and every change along the way.

CROSS-TEAM COORDINATION

Run every handoff from one mission plan.

Give mission, engineering, legal, and operations one shared queue without asking every team to adopt another tracker.

CHANGE INTELLIGENCE

Know what changed—and what it affects.

Trace a technical change through requirements, evidence, deadlines, approvals, and partner packages before work drifts out of date.

VERIFIED MISSION RECORD

Reuse trusted mission information.

Keep every answer tied to its source, owner, revision, and approval so teams can reuse it confidently.

PARTNER PACKAGES

Prepare every external handoff from current data.

Package the latest approved information for regulators, launch providers, counsel, insurers, and mission partners.

CONNECTED SYSTEMS

Meet teams where mission work already happens.

Bring verified inputs from engineering and business systems into the launch plan, then coordinate through familiar channels.

VERSIONED MISSION HISTORY

Keep a clear record from mission definition through launch.

Preserve changes, decisions, approvals, submissions, and partner handoffs in one chronological mission history.

FAQs

Clear answers for teams considering a new way to manage the path to launch.

What is Upstream?

Upstream is AI-powered project management software for space missions. It turns mission details into a complete plan and coordinates every task, approval, filing, deliverable, and partner handoff required to launch.

Who uses Upstream?

Upstream is built for leadership and mission teams at smaller space companies, plus program, legal, and compliance leaders at larger organizations.

Does Upstream replace engineering software?

No. Upstream connects with engineering and business systems and serves as the project-management and external-coordination layer above them.

How does the AI coordinate work?

Upstream identifies required work, collects verified inputs, follows up with owners, prepares handoffs, routes approvals, and keeps the plan current.

What happens when the mission changes?

Upstream updates affected tasks, dependencies, documents, deadlines, approvals, and partner deliverables before readiness slips.

Is Upstream a law firm?

No. Upstream is software. It helps mission teams and their counsel organize work, prepare materials, route reviews, and preserve approved information.

Enterprise-ready from the start.

Built for sensitive mission information and accountable work across organizations.
