Every orbital asset lives outside the reach of the hand that built it. Ground contact is intermittent. Light takes time. There is no operator aboard to intervene when a furnace overshoots, a latch fails to seat, or a deorbit window closes early. The systems that survive orbit are the ones that decide without asking. Opera is the layer that lets them.
A single mission model spanning vehicle, station, and payload. Written once. Executed everywhere.
Customer intent becomes a full recipe. Opera compiles reactors, setpoints, and a continuous utilisation plan against Tessera-1 power and thermal budgets before anything is committed.
Tessera Lab runs the floor: reactors, robotics, harvest, and cold chain on one timeline. State streams back continuously. Intent-level commands, not keystroke teleoperation.
When the link drops, the mission stays onboard. Through plasma blackout, Opera holds the plan, flies the entry, and reports when the pass returns. Humans optional. Autonomy not.
