Coverage optimisation
Definition of coverage optimisation
Coverage optimisation refers to the strategic process of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of tracking systems, specifically designed to monitor and manage orbital objects from both low Earth orbit and beyond.
The aim is to maximize the area and time during which the tracking system, such as SORASYS radars and SYNAPSE platforms, can effectively detect, track, and provide valuable data on space objects, including satellites, debris, and other potentially hazardous entities.
By optimising coverage, the system ensures comprehensive surveillance and data collection, reducing the risk of undetected collisions or anomalies.
This optimisation is critical for enhancing situational awareness, space traffic management, and informed decision-making related to satellite operations and overall orbital safety.
Advanced coverage optimisation techniques may involve the integration of multiple sensor types and adaptive algorithms to dynamically adjust tracking parameters in response to the constantly changing environment of space.
Why coverage optimisation matters for space operations
Coverage optimisation determines how often and how reliably operators can observe objects of interest, update their orbits, and maintain a consistent space picture across LEO and higher regimes.
It directly impacts conjunction assessment quality, response time to breakups or anomalous maneuvers, and the ability to coordinate traffic management actions at scale without overtasking sensors or missing critical passes.
In practice, better coverage reduces uncertainty, improves prioritization of high risk targets, and supports safer, more timely operational decisions for fleet and constellation management.
How Look Up, SORASYS, and SYNAPSE improve coverage
Look Up optimises coverage by tasking SORASYS radars for high reactivity detection and tracking where gaps and time critical events matter most.
SYNAPSE fuses Look Up observations with external data to catalogue objects, refresh orbits, and deliver alerts and risk insights through an interface or API, including on premises for secure operations.
Together, they help operators coordinate monitoring and collision avoidance more efficiently, with maneuver recommendations aligned to mission constraints.
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.
