Artificial object
Definition of an artificial object in space
An artificial object in the context of space refers to any man-made object that is placed into outer space.
These include satellites, space probes, space stations, and any other technology or machinery that is developed, launched, and operated by humans for various purposes in space.
Unlike natural celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and asteroids, artificial objects are engineered and constructed by humans to perform specific functions, such as communication, observation, research, or exploration.
These objects play a crucial role in space operations, including satellite communication networks, Earth observation systems, and interplanetary exploration missions.
Space situational awareness and traffic management for artificial objects
The management of artificial objects is essential for maintaining operational safety in space, avoiding collisions, and ensuring the sustainability of space activities.
In this context, advanced Space Situational Awareness and space traffic management solutions such as SORASYS and SYNAPSE, developed by Look Up, enable continuous monitoring and precise tracking of artificial objects throughout their orbital lifetime.
By combining radar-based detection, data fusion, and predictive analytics, these platforms help operators:
- Identify potential conjunction risks
- Support collision avoidance strategies
- Contribute to responsible and sustainable use of the orbital environment
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.
