Problem
As the number of active satellites and debris in low Earth orbit rapidly increases, existing tracking systems struggle to detect and monitor the smallest objects with sufficient frequency, creating collision risks and limiting situational awareness for operators, regulators, and insurers.
Solution
Lookupspace provides Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) services through a globally distributed network of next‑generation ground radars combined with a proprietary digital platform called SYNAPSE. The radars deliver high‑revisit, high‑precision detection of objects in LEO, including those missed by legacy sensors. SYNAPSE fuses radar data with other sensor inputs using advanced algorithms, producing real‑time object catalogs, threat characterizations, and risk assessments. The resulting information is delivered via secure APIs or an intuitive web interface, enabling customers to monitor space traffic, assess collision risk, and take protective actions. The solution supports both civil and defense use cases, as well as commercial operators and insurers seeking reliable orbital data.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and intelligence agencies, civil space agencies, commercial satellite operators, and insurers that require accurate, timely orbital data for safety, security, and risk management.
Features
