01 / POSITION
Navigation
Estimate and maintain knowledge of location, trajectory and relative motion when conventional terrestrial infrastructure may be unavailable, delayed or inappropriate.

Cavigation
Navigation is not only a question of where something is. In space, it is also a question of when, which way, and relative to what. Cavigation studies and develops software for navigation, orientation and time across spacecraft, aerospace and autonomous systems.
Three coordinates are not enough.
Cavigation treats position, orientation and time as a coupled engineering problem. The work may draw on celestial references, local sensors, software timing models and network information depending on the operational environment.
02 / ATTITUDE
Orientation
Determine which way a vehicle or autonomous system is facing and maintain a meaningful reference frame using environmental, inertial, celestial and other available cues.
03 / TEMPORAL FRAME
Time
Study how clocks, event ordering, synchronisation, delay and astronomical time references affect navigation and coordination across distributed systems.

depends on when.
Time is a first-class element of Cavigation. Research includes clock synchronisation, propagation delay, timestamp integrity, distributed event ordering, sidereal and astronomical reference systems, mission-relative time, and the relationship between timekeeping and autonomous navigation.
For future off-Earth systems, Cavorion is interested in how humans, vehicles and distributed nodes can share a coherent temporal frame even when they cannot share an instantaneous connection.
Research domains
Cavigation is intentionally software- and systems-led. Specific technical methods may remain proprietary or be developed under research, licensing or integration agreements.
Celestial ReferenceStars, planetary bodies and astronomical time as stable external references.
AutonomyNavigation and orientation when a platform must make decisions without immediate human guidance.
Distributed TimingSynchronisation, delay-aware coordination and integrity across separated nodes.
Human InterfaceMaking position, orientation and temporal context understandable to the people operating within the system.
A controlled commercial interface.
Cavigation is not a public consumer navigation app. It is the semi-public B2B surface through which selected Cavorion navigation research may be licensed, integrated or developed with spacecraft, aerospace, research and autonomous-system partners.

Cavigation may also contribute research back into CavorINTEL systems including TEERS and the Lattice. Commercial access to a capability does not imply access to the complete underlying CavorINTEL architecture.
