KNOWN Corporation
Simulation software built to research standards.
KNOWN is developing a validated mechanics engine and research platform. First institutional release targeted for Q4 2026.
Engine
Validated orbital mechanics starts with the engine.
Point-mass gravity is operational. J2 perturbation, drag, and thrust modelling are being implemented and verified in sequence rather than approximated for presentation.
Validation
Accuracy is treated as a test result.
KNOWN validates against documented orbital records using public TLE data from sources including Space-Track and CelesTrak. If the result diverges, the physics is corrected before the milestone advances.
Platform
One physics system. Three environments.
Research and analysis, arcade scenarios, and cinematic mission experiences all sit on the same orbital mechanics foundation. The interface changes. The engine does not.
Access
Open to institutions first.
Early access will available for research institutions, aerospace programmes, and technical organisations ahead of the public release target. Deeper technical detail lives on the platform and about pages.
