Projectdetails

Introduction

Through CASSIOPEE, SMS tackles the ever-pressing challenge of collision risk management that space industry stakeholders are currently facing. SMS aims to disrupt space surveillance, thanks to its innovative offering: optical observation stations based on a patented architecture and proprietary satellite collision prediction algorithms.

Ambition

SMS's ambition is to become the first player offering an independent catalogue of more than 100,000 space debris smaller than 10 cm, thereby challenging the US Air Force's monopolistic position.

Importance of Cartography

Having access to such cartography is critical to improving space safety in a currently fast-developing landscape of orbital activities.

Target Audience

SMS’s catalogue and services address the needs of all space actors, including:

  • New Space players
  • Satellite operators
  • Industry majors
  • Space Agencies

Purpose

SMS's purpose is to protect operators from asset losses and performance variations, preserve the modern way of life, and ultimately guarantee that space exploration remains possible.
