📢 PRESS RELEASE: Spaceflux Wins DSTL Contract to Develop Infrared Sensor and Launches Spaceflux Labs for Innovation in SSA We are excited to announce that Spaceflux has been awarded the Infra-Red Sensor Technology Demonstrator System for Space Domain Awareness contract by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), the research arm of the UK Ministry of Defence. This contract underscores our leadership in Space Situational Awareness (#SSA), marking a significant milestone in our journey to enhance space #safety and #innovation. This project will be led by our newly launched research division, Spaceflux Labs, which aims to be a hub of innovation in SSA technology. Spaceflux Labs will drive advancements in sensor integration and data analytics, pushing the boundaries of SSA to ensure a safer #orbital environment ☀️ 🔭 Introducing Daylight Satellite Tracking Our proposed system includes a large optical telescope featuring Short-Wave Infrared (#SWIR) and visible sensors, enabling nighttime and daytime tracking of #satellites and debris across all orbital regimes. This unique capability allows for continuous 24/7 #monitoring, reducing #collision risks and improving the characterisation of #space objects. The new infrared sensor will be installed at our Spain observatory and, following the demonstrator phase, will be integrated into our global SSA network and product line, including Miru Station and Track & Guard services. Starting next year, daytime tracking data from this system will be available to all our customers, leveraging our AI-powered Cortex data analytics platform to deliver more accurate, real-time Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) solutions. 🔬 Spaceflux Labs In conjunction with this contract win, we are launching Spaceflux Labs on October 1st, 2024. Headed by Prof. Ingo Waldmann, an Associate Professor in Astrophysics at UCL and a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, this innovation hub will collaborate with academic and industry partners to drive advancements in AI and sensor technology. Spaceflux Labs will focus on pioneering technologies like self-calibrating sensors and sensor fusion ensuring a safer orbital environment for faster, market-ready solutions that address the growing complexities of space operations.
