Data fusion
Definition
Data fusion is the process of integrating multiple data sources to produce more consistent, accurate, and useful information than that provided by any individual data source.
This involves synthesizing data from various sensors, databases, and sources to create a comprehensive understanding of a particular context or environment.
In the context of space situational awareness and domain awareness, data fusion enables the integration of radar data, satellite telemetry, sensor inputs, and other observational data to create a high-fidelity picture of objects in orbit.
This is essential for tracking orbital objects, analyzing collision risks, detecting anomalies, and supporting decision-making processes.
Data fusion improves the reliability and precision of information, which is critical for ensuring the safety, security, and sustainability of operations in space.
Building and maintaining a trusted space picture
Data fusion is central to building and maintaining a trusted space picture from heterogeneous and sometimes incomplete observations.
By combining radar measurements, optical observations, operator telemetry, and catalogue data, it reduces ambiguity in object identification, improves orbit determination, and supports more reliable conjunction assessment.
This directly impacts operational tempo and safety by enabling earlier warnings, clearer anomaly detection, and better coordinated decisions across multiple stakeholders, especially for constellation-scale operations.
Look Up and SYNAPSE for multi-source SSA data fusion
Look Up uses SYNAPSE to fuse multi source SSA data, including SORASYS radar observations and external datasets, to catalogue objects and deliver actionable alerts and analytics via API or interface, with an on premises option for secure operations.
This fused view helps operators predict collision risks and coordinate response, including collision avoidance support and maneuver recommendations aligned with mission constraints.
By combining high reactivity tracking with secure analytics, Look Up reduces uncertainty and accelerates operational decision making for safer, scalable fleet management.
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.
