Problem
The increasing number of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) poses a significant threat to operational satellites due to potential collisions, while current space object tracking methods have limitations in accuracy and scope. Removing space debris and extending the life of existing satellites are critical for ensuring the long-term sustainability of space activities.
Solution
Turion Space builds and operates DROID satellites equipped with advanced sensors to improve space domain awareness and mitigate collision risks. These satellites enhance the tracking of space objects, reducing positional uncertainty and expanding the catalog of tracked objects. The STARFIRE OS platform facilitates in-space mobility services, including de-orbiting non-maneuverable objects in LEO and relocating objects from GEO to graveyard orbits. Turion Space's technology aims to address the challenges of space debris and promote space sustainability.
Target Audience
The primary customers are government agencies, satellite operators, and organizations involved in space exploration and national security.
