Imagine the space around Earth as a busy highway filled with satellites and floating debris. This project builds a global network of radar 'traffic cameras' to spot dangerous debris as small as a few centimeters. It then automatically steers satellites out of the way of crashes, acting like an autopilot for space safety.
Satellite operators face increasing risks of collisions with debris, which can destroy expensive assets. Current manual risk management is slow and inefficient for large constellations.
An end-to-end space safety service including a 7-radar network and a digital platform for automated collision avoidance manoeuvres.
If you are a constellation operator dealing with the risk of orbital collisions — this project developed an end-to-end safety service that executes risk mitigation manoeuvres. This increases satellite lifetime and mission availability.
If you are a fleet owner dealing with limited monitoring tools — this project developed a network of 7 globally distributed radars. This provides a sovereign solution to detect debris down to centimetric size.
If you are a space agency dealing with the need for European sovereignty in space safety — this project developed a secure, hybrid digital platform. It allows for the coordination of space traffic management within EU territories.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the end-users is not disclosed, though the company secured €50 millions in Series A funding to develop these offerings.
The service scales through a network of 7 globally distributed radars and a digital platform capable of handling both small fleets and full constellations.
The project is led by Look Up Space, which utilizes a proprietary design for its global surveillance and tracking radar network.
The project period is from 2024-07-01 to 2026-06-30, with Series A funding closed in June 2025 to expand the network.
It uses a secure digital platform to automate data exchanges and directly execute and monitor manoeuvres on behalf of the operators.
The project is managed by a single SME, Look Up Space, representing a 100% industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a fast-to-market commercial approach, backed by a €50 million investment to scale their proprietary radar network.
