Our space-based SSA service in GEO is halfway through its development journey! Thanks to a France2030 project awarded by CNES started in 2023, Infinite Orbits have been collaborating with Telespazio France in developing a space-based SSA service in GEO for a year. This project stands aside, with the goal to survey the GEO belt, collecting data directly with sensors in orbit to complete the catalog currently fed by ground based sensors. This innovative in-orbit service will lead to refine our understanding of data in the Geostationary Earth Orbit. Orbit Guard #3 will embed a tailor-made optical sensor with the capability of identifying objects smaller than 10 cm, which previously remained unseen from ground surveillance. Based on Orbit Guards raw data, Telespazio France will be able to locate and characterize the detected objects, enabling to distinguish between them, based on their processed trajectory, thereby continuously enhancing awareness of the space environment in GEO. After a year of collaboration in this project with Telespazio France and CNES - that’s half of the road already traveled!
