Orbitorus and Mission Space Join Forces to Enhance Satellite Operational Risk Intelligence

Orbitorus and Mission Space Collaborate for Satellite Safety

In an ambitious move towards enhancing satellite operational safety, Tokyo-based startup Orbitorus and Luxembourg’s Mission Space S.A. have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This partnership aims to address the evolving complexities faced by satellite operators, such as collision risks with space debris and the impacts of space weather.

As satellites play an increasingly vital role in various sectors, including communication, navigation, and data gathering, the need for robust risk intelligence has never been greater. Orbitorus focuses on providing predictions for potential collisions and analyzing the safety of satellite operations, while Mission Space specializes in space weather intelligence and radiation monitoring. Together, their combined expertise will pave the way for operational risk intelligence solutions tailored specifically for satellite operators.

The Path Forward

The MOU sets the stage for collaboration between the two companies, where they will integrate their respective technologies and knowledge. This joint effort will focus on predictive analytics and operational decision-making support, significantly improving the resilience and safety of satellite operations. By merging Orbitorus’s orbital intelligence with Mission Space’s environmental monitoring capabilities, both companies hope to provide comprehensive risk information that supports better decision-making processes.

David Chew, President and Representative Director of Orbitorus, shared his insights, stating, "The risks associated with orbital safety and space environments are closely linked to all satellite operations. By combining our intelligence technologies, we believe we can offer satellite operators a more holistic view of risk information, thereby supporting better decision-making."

Furthermore, both companies are exploring collaborations on technology demonstrations and proof-of-concept initiatives that harness on-orbit sensing and data-driven commercial services. This exploration aims to seize business opportunities not only in Japan and Luxembourg but also in broader international markets.

Alexey Shirobokov, General Manager of Mission Space, emphasized the importance of their partnership by stating, "While satellite operators already integrate data from various systems to make operational decisions, the integration of space weather data—directly impactful on satellite health and mission planning—has not progressed sufficiently. Through our collaboration with Orbitorus, we anticipate delivering a more comprehensive understanding of operational conditions to satellite operators by combining collision prediction intelligence with real-time space environment insights."
