Why mission-related objects must be monitored and managed

Mission-related objects are the assets operators are accountable for, both for mission performance and for safe behavior in increasingly congested orbits.

Maintaining accurate, up-to-date knowledge of their location, identity, and status supports day-to-day operations (commissioning, station-keeping, formation flying), reduces uncertainty during close approaches, and helps distinguish expected mission elements (e.g., deployed subsystems) from anomalies.

Reliable monitoring also limits operational interference (e.g., uncoordinated maneuvers) and supports responsible space operations by enabling timely coordination and collision avoidance decisions.

How Look Up supports protection and operational decision-making

Look Up helps operators protect mission-related objects by detecting, tracking, and characterizing artificial objects in LEO with SORASYS radars (detection down to a few cm, with centimetric accuracy and low-latency processing), and by fusing these measurements with external data in the SYNAPSE digital platform for SSA.

• Object cataloguing and comprehensive object “ID cards,”
• Rapid alerts within seconds/minutes for high-interest events,
• Operational services such as collision warnings, maneuver support, and tailored maneuver recommendations aligned with mission constraints.

For fleets and constellations, the platform enables scalable risk management and coordination, including collision avoidance predictions with a 99.9% accuracy rate and detection of orbital manoeuvres.
