Problem
Space actors often operate with fragmented or proprietary orbital data, making it difficult to obtain a complete, up‑to‑date picture of objects in orbit. This lack of shared information hampers timely coordination and increases the risk of collisions and other space‑traffic incidents.
Solution
Spacetalk offers a neutral, cloud‑based communication platform that lets all space stakeholders exchange high‑quality orbital data in real time. The service provides a centralized directory of space actors and an inventory of space objects, assigning a designated point of contact to each object to streamline direct coordination. By aggregating Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) data without performing collision analysis itself, the platform enables each participant to conduct its own risk assessments using the most current information. Governance is transparent and independent, fostering trust among members ranging from operators and launch service providers to agencies, insurers, and researchers. Access to the platform is managed through membership options that support both public and private entities.
Target Audience
Primary users are space object operators, SSA and STM entities, launch service providers, space agencies, insurers, and research organizations that require reliable, shared orbital data for traffic coordination and risk assessment.
Features
