Vyoma agrees data management partnership for SSA constellation

No items found.

The German start-up Vyoma said on April 28 that it has teamed up with Atos, a major player in the European IT market, to create a database of tiny space objects that it will begin monitoring with its own satellites the following year. In order to aid satellite operators in preventing expensive collisions and pointless spacecraft maneuvers, their alliance aims to develop solutions for SSA data delivery.

Stefan Frey, Vyoma’s CEO, said the startup is currently providing tracking services and data quality assessments to European defense customers through “third-party networks of ground-based sensors, including heterogeneous data providers such as telescopes and laser ranging stations.”

According to Frey, the network’s top-performing terrestrial telescopes can observe objects as small as 5 to 10 centimeters across in low Earth orbit and 50 centimeters across in geostationary orbit under ideal circumstances. The only way to do this, though, is “via dedicated target tracking” of objects in certain locations and under clear atmospheric conditions. A semi-autonomous network of satellites operating in “surveillance mode” will be used by the business to construct space-based cameras to track previously untrackable things as small as 1 centimeter. The startup closed pre-seed and seed financing last year.
