Odin Space provides intelligence and solutions for tracking lethal, non-trackable orbital debris. The company offers pre-launch reconnaissance, ongoing surveillance, and post-collision diagnostics to attribute failures and support insurance claims. This service enhances spacecraft safety by addressing the threat posed by small debris missed by existing solutions.

Problem
Existing space debris tracking systems are limited to objects larger than 10 cm, leaving the vast majority (99%) of smaller, yet still lethal, sub-centimeter debris untracked. This blind spot poses a significant collision risk to operational satellites, increasing operational costs and potentially shortening their lifespan.
Solution
ODIN Space is deploying a network of on-orbit sensors designed to detect and characterize lethal, non-trackable sub-centimeter orbital debris. These sensors measure the size, speed, and trajectory of debris as small as 0.1 mm by analyzing acoustic vibrations from impacts on thin membrane panels. The resulting data is used to provide detailed collision risk assessments and inform mitigation strategies for satellite operators and insurers, enabling proactive measures to protect space assets and extend mission lifecycles.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes satellite operators, space insurers, and investors who require accurate and reliable risk insights to protect their assets and investments in space.
