Week in Space Data, every Friday.
NorthStar Earth & Space operates an in-orbit space domain awareness constellation, using optical sensors in LEO to track objects directly from orbit.
NSTRACTIVENorthStar monitors space from space using dedicated optical sensors hosted on leased LEO satellites, combining that data with ground-based radar and telescope observations to provide space situational and domain awareness services.
NorthStar Earth & Space is building a constellation of LEO satellites equipped with optical sensors to provide space situational awareness from orbit. Unlike ground-based systems, the in-orbit approach enables continuous monitoring of space objects without atmospheric interference or geographic limitations.
