Imagine the space around Earth is like a busy highway filled with invisible pieces of trash. This project built a network of smart telescopes that act like high-definition traffic cameras to spot tiny debris. By mapping these objects, it helps satellite owners steer their equipment away from crashes.
Satellite operators rely on limited public data to avoid collisions, leaving them blind to thousands of small debris pieces. This creates a high risk of asset loss and disrupts orbital activities.
A network of modular optical telescope stations (MTOS) and a software suite featuring orbit determination algorithms and client APIs.
If you are a satellite fleet operator dealing with the risk of asset loss due to space debris — this project developed a catalogue of over 100,000 objects smaller than 10 cm that provides precise collision predictions to protect your hardware.
If you are a New Space player dealing with high-risk orbital deployments — this project developed an independent tracking service that monitors objects down to 300km altitude to ensure your satellites survive their mission.
If you are a space agency dealing with a reliance on single-source US Air Force data — this project developed a proprietary telescope network and software to provide an independent alternative for orbital cartography.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project developed APIs for clients to connect to the service.
Yes, the project utilizes Multi-Telescope Observation Stations (MTOS) designed to be positioned around the world in specific locations for efficient sky coverage.
The offering is based on a patented architecture and proprietary satellite collision prediction algorithms.
The project developed software modules and APIs that allow users to connect their constraints and receive collision anticipation services.
The project period ran from 2022-02-01 to 2024-01-31, with software modules and APIs completed in the first reporting period.
The project is led by a single French SME, Aldoria, which represents 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercial drive, as the company is directly developing both the hardware (telescopes) and software (APIs) to disrupt a market currently dominated by the US Air Force.
