OPTICAL SATELLITE TRACKING · GEO SSA / SST

A clearer view
of what’s in orbit.

Scientific-grade optical data for satellite tracking and space situational awareness. From detection to characterisation, turn observations into understanding.

From a point of light.
To a measurable trajectory.

01 / CAPABILITIES

Keep sight of
the objects that matter.

Targeted observations for satellite operators, research teams and organisations working in space surveillance and tracking.

01 /

GEO satellite tracking

Continuous or occasional observations to support orbit determination, catalogue maintenance and long-term monitoring.

02 /

Object characterisation

Position and brightness measurements to investigate photometric variability, rotational signatures and the behaviour of satellites and orbital debris.

03 /

Follow-up & anomaly investigation

Global observing coverage for follow-up and variability monitoring, with cross-validation across independent sites and instruments.

02 / DATA PRODUCTS

Observations you
can put to work.

Every change in brightness tells a story.

Photometric variability reveals how an object changes over time.

03 / THE SCIENTIFIC DIFFERENCE

Fainter objects.
Sharper measurements.

Scientific-grade sensitivity

With typical apertures of 60 cm+ and 18–19 magnitude detection capability, observe faint satellites and orbital debris that demand sensitive optical measurements.

Precision with provenance

Gaia-referenced astrometry delivers typical sub-arcsecond GEO precision per frame. Calibrated photometry supports consistent brightness measurements and light curves.

A global perspective

Observations across a global network support follow-up and long-term monitoring, with resilience to local observing conditions.
