In March this year UAS traffic management (UTM) company Skypuzzler announced that it had been granted a European Space Agency (ESA) SPARK Denmark Project contract to extend its collision-avoidance and traffic-control capabilities from the drone domain into the Space Traffic Management (STM) domain.
“The proliferation of launch capabilities, the increase in space debris, and the growing congestion of satellites in orbital regimes, namely Low Earth Orbit, have led to an emerging need for advanced collision avoidance capabilities to mitigate the risks posed by the growing number of satellites and space debris in orbit today,” said the company in a Linkedin post. “These events require real-time tracking, careful planning, and a holistic situational awareness to ensure mission continuation and life extension through efficient propellant use and well-considered responses to orbits at risk of encountering continued conjunction events.”
