Surveillance process
Definition
A surveillance process refers to a systematic and continuous set of operations aimed at observing, monitoring, and gathering data on various subjects or areas of interest.
In the context of space and orbital management, a surveillance process specifically involves the use of technology, such as radar systems and digital platforms, to track and document activities and objects in space, like satellites and debris.
This process ensures the safety and security of space activities by detecting potential threats and anomalies, analyzing collision risks, and facilitating strategic decision-making.
Surveillance processes are crucial for space situational awareness and space domain awareness, helping to maintain sustainable and secure operations in the increasingly congested orbital environment.
Why a surveillance process matters for SSA and STM
A surveillance process is the operational backbone of SSA and STM because it turns continuous observation into decisions that protect missions.
It reduces uncertainty on object location, behavior, and intent, enabling earlier detection of anomalies, timely conjunction assessment, and safer maneuver planning under real mission constraints.
As orbital traffic grows, an effective surveillance process also supports coordination at scale by maintaining an up to date space picture, improving incident response, and strengthening long term sustainability through better cataloguing and risk management.
How Look Up enables surveillance in LEO
Look Up supports surveillance processes by detecting and tracking objects in LEO with its SORASYS radar network, improving reactivity and measurement quality for operational monitoring.
SYNAPSE fuses Look Up sensor data with external sources to catalogue objects, deliver alerts, and provide collision avoidance predictions with a 99.9% accuracy rate via API, interface, or on premises deployment.
Together, they help operators and institutions predict risks, recommend actions, and protect satellite fleets through continuous monitoring and actionable analytics.
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.
