Problem
Accurate and continuous monitoring of objects in Earth orbit is limited by fragmented sensor networks and delayed data processing, making it difficult for governments and commercial operators to maintain situational awareness and respond to potential threats.
Solution
Phanes Research develops and operates dedicated satellite constellations equipped with advanced sensors to deliver persistent space domain awareness. By integrating orbital mechanics expertise with in‑orbit data collection, the company provides near‑real‑time tracking and characterization of resident space objects. Processed data are delivered to customers through secure ground stations and cloud‑based services, enabling timely decision‑making for collision avoidance, threat assessment, and mission planning.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense agencies, space operators, and commercial satellite companies that require continuous, actionable intelligence on the space environment.
