## 🚀 Overview

Modern satellite missions depend on multiple systems for monitoring, analysis, security, and decision-making. STARK brings these capabilities together into one intelligent AI-powered mission control platform.

Built using the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, STARK enables AI assistants to interact with secure mission tools, structured resources, and intelligent prompts for advanced space operations.

STARK helps mission teams:

- Monitor satellite health
- Analyze space weather conditions
- Predict orbital collision risks
- Simulate mission scenarios
- Validate secure commands
- Generate AI-assisted mission reports

By combining **Artificial Intelligence, MCP, cybersecurity, and space intelligence**, STARK enables safer and smarter next-generation satellite operations.

# 🧠 What is MCP?

The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** is an open standard that allows AI assistants to securely connect with external tools, APIs, and data sources.

MCP enables AI systems to:

- Access real-time information
- Execute specialized tools
- Use external resources
- Perform complex workflows

STARK uses MCP to connect AI reasoning with real-world space mission operations.
