Spire, one of the leading global data providers for the maritime, aviation and meteorological sectors, will adopt Neuraspace's Space Traffic Management (STM) platform for its fleet of more than 100 satellites. All satellites will be monitored using Neuraspace's software, allowing Spire to monitor and manage possible collision situations in its constellation.
With the implementation of the Neuraspace platform, Spire will have access to automatic alerts on approaches and in-depth analyses of the risk of collisions. In addition, this Neuraspace tool will provide Spire with manoeuvre recommendations for collision avoidance, detailed analyses of approach situations, manoeuvre management and automated monitoring for the growing number of satellites that are propelled (and can therefore perform manoeuvres and collision avoidance).
This platform facilitates rapid and informed decision-making, further reducing the risk of collisions. Neuraspace's automatic updating of orbital positions will enable faster analyses of evasive manoeuvres, as well as safer and more efficient operations management.
Vincent Furia, Senior Director of Constellation Planning and Operations at Spire, emphasises that "Spire leads the way in the Space-as-a-Service business model. With Neuraspace's STM platform, we are able to personalise monitoring and data analysis, offering critical insights into collisions. As our constellation grows and orbital congestion intensifies, Neuraspace's AI-based STM minimises the need for human intervention, saves fuel and optimises operations."
For Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace, "being chosen by a company in the NewSpace sector like Spire, with its vast constellation, reflects the trust placed in our STM solution. It also underlines the need for satellite operators to protect their space assets. Growing orbital traffic and space junk represent a risk and a potential cost for satellite and constellation operators such as Spire. With our automated STM solution, which collects data from multiple sources, we offer a complete overview and analysis. In this way, we reduce the risks to their assets and allow our customers to focus on their core activities."
Neuraspace, one of the leading global companies in space traffic management (STM) solutions, is based at Instituto Pedro Nunes in Coimbra. These innovations are the result of advances made in the AI Fights Space Debris project, C626449889-00463050, a Mobilising Agenda/Alliances for Reindustrialisation funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, with a budget of 25 million euros. The project aims to boost the growth of Neuraspace and its Space Traffic Management Platform, a unique offering for satellite operators, supported by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, to ensure safe space operations and avoid collisions with debris and other satellites.
The consortium is led by Neuraspace, in partnership with GMVIS Skysoft, S.A, the Instituto Pedro Nunes - Association for Innovation and Development in Science and Technology, the University of Coimbra, the Association of the Higher Technical Institute for Research and Development and the New University of Lisbon - Faculty of Science and Technology.
