Radar sensor

Definition

A radar sensor is a type of ground-based sensor that utilizes radio waves to detect and track objects in its vicinity. These sensors are integral components in the monitoring and analysis of objects in orbit, such as satellites and space debris.

They work by transmitting radio wave signals which bounce off objects and return to the sensor, allowing the system to determine the object's distance, velocity, and trajectory.

Radar sensors are critical in providing detailed situational awareness by offering precise and real-time data, which is essential for collision risk analysis, space traffic management, and operational decision-making regarding satellite maneuvers.

SORASYS and enhanced space situational awareness (SSA)

In this context, advanced solutions such as SORASYS, developed by Look Up, leverage radar sensor data combined with space surveillance networks to deliver enhanced Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services.

By integrating high-performance radar detection with data fusion and predictive analytics, SORASYS enables operators to better anticipate conjunction risks, optimize satellite operations, and contribute to the long-term safety and sustainability of space activities.

These systems are employed across defense, civil space agencies, and commercial space operations to ensure the resilience and security of the orbital environment.

We are not just another space safety company

We deliver space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA) solutions that help secure active satellites and ensure safe operations in the ever-growing expanse of space.
