InTrack Radar Technologies, Inc.

The level of collaboration at the SDA TAP Lab has been extremely valuable in driving innovation. IRT is glad to be a member of the team and helping advance the capabilities in this very important mission area.

InTrack Radar Technologies used proprietary techniques and software to build a launch nominal (predicted orbit) for the Sept 19th 2024 Chinese Beidou-3 launch.. The predicted orbits were used to cue telescopes at IRT Pine Park Observatory.  PPO tracked the rocket bodies and was able to view payload deployment.  IRT used custom designed IRT/Der Astrodynamics orbit determination software to create initial orbit states. The objects were tracked over the course of several hours.   The video below shows payload deployment in the medium earth orbit (MEO) orbit regime.

Occasionally, when we start new projects, IRT senior engineers provide training for our teammates to help get the project started. We just finished a three day SDA Radar training Catalyst Campus, Colorado Springs We enjoy sharing our craft and collaborating with our teammates to deliver more value to our customers. The senior team also enjoys getting together and geeking out for three days 😀👍 Thanks to our participants for the great discussion and to our instructors for taking the time.

IRT is looking for RF Engineers, know anybody who might be interested?

Another well done VIP event led by Maj Allen. 

Morgan Nicholson, Tim McLaughlin, and Chris Burns of InTrack Radar Technologies, Inc. were honored to have the opportunity to brief General Michael Guetlein, Vice Chief of Space Operations, USSF, at the SDA Tap Lab. IRT is a proud member of Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 of the Apollo Accelerator led by Maj Sean Allen. We provided an autonomous stability assessment software solution to equip decision-makers with critical information about space object status and intent.

A big “thank you” to all veterans. You answered the nation’s call and we are eternally grateful.
