Radar track
Radar track definition
Radar track refers to the data collected and processed by radar systems that indicates the detected path or trajectory of an object in space.
It encompasses the time-sequenced positions of an object—such as a satellite or orbital debris—captured as it moves through space.
These tracks are generated by radar systems like SORASYS, which are capable of detecting objects in low Earth orbit.
A radar track provides critical information about an object's location, speed, direction, and changes in velocity, which are essential for tasks like collision risk analysis, space traffic management, and operational decision-making.
The data is synthesized and presented on platforms like SYNAPSE, which fuses radar data with information from other sensors to enhance the accuracy and utility of space situational awareness and domain awareness operations.
Operational value of radar tracks
Radar tracks turn raw detections into a time-ordered trajectory that operators can use to maintain custody of satellites and debris, confirm object identity, and quantify uncertainty.
They are foundational to conjunction assessment because accurate position, velocity, and maneuver changes directly drive collision probability estimates and the timeliness of avoidance decisions.
At scale, reliable tracks also support space traffic management by enabling coordinated responses to high-interest events, reducing false alarms, and improving fleet-level risk management.
Look Up radar tracking with SORASYS and SYNAPSE
Look Up detects and tracks LEO objects with its SORASYS radars to produce high-reactivity radar tracks that strengthen the operational space picture, including for objects other solutions miss.
SYNAPSE fuses these tracks with external data, catalogues objects, and delivers alerts and analytics via API or interface, including on-premises deployment for secure operations.
Together, they help operators predict conjunctions, monitor maneuvers, and support collision avoidance with tailored recommendations and 99.9% accuracy rate predictions.
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.
