Satellite Positioning

As the regions of space around Earth become increasingly crowded with new satellites, the most popular orbits are becoming hazardous and could reach a level at which a collision between two objects would result in a cascade. This situation could lead to a significant increase in debris, complicating space operations for years and posing risks to both existing and future satellites. Without proper management, the situation could worsen, making it harder to maintain space infrastructure. But new technologies such as Fugro’s SpaceStar® are being developed that enable companies and agencies to know precisely where their assets are in real time. This real-time tracking is essential for preventing accidents, not only protecting against collisions, but also improving operational outcomes, enabling new applications for Earth monitoring, supporting efficient satellite management, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of space exploration and communication networks.
