Tracking capability
Definition of tracking capability
Tracking capability refers to the ability of a system or organization to detect, monitor, and report the position and movement of objects, often in real-time. This capability is essential in various fields, such as space surveillance, where it involves identifying and following the trajectory of satellites, debris, and other orbital objects.
Advanced tracking systems utilize multiple data sources, including radar and sensor technologies, to provide high accuracy and reliability in object tracking. This capability is critical for ensuring space situational awareness, collision avoidance, and effective space traffic management, helping to mitigate risks and enhance the safety and sustainability of space operations.
Operational importance in space operations
Tracking capability underpins day to day space operations by turning detections into trusted, time-tagged trajectories that operators can act on. It directly impacts collision avoidance quality, conjunction screening volume management, and timely maneuver planning, especially in crowded LEO where objects move fast and event timelines are short.
Strong tracking capability also supports space traffic management by enabling consistent object identification, accountability, and coordination at scale, reducing uncertainty and the risk of missed or late warnings.
How Look Up enhances tracking and decision-making
Look Up strengthens tracking capability by detecting and tracking LEO objects with its ground-based SORASYS radars, improving the timeliness and accuracy of the space picture.
SYNAPSE fuses Look Up sensor data with external sources to catalogue objects, characterize behaviors, and deliver alerts and predictions via API or interface, including collision avoidance support with 99.9% accuracy rate.
Together, they help operators coordinate responses, reduce uncertainty, and protect satellite fleets through faster, better-informed decisions.
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.
