Portuguese space traffic management startup Neuraspace has installed a second optical telescope to help track low Earth orbit (LEO) objects across both hemispheres.

Neuraspace said Dec. 6 it had activated a telescope in Chile to scan the southern hemisphere for objects as small as 10 centimeters, three months after setting up a similar telescope at a Portuguese Air Force base in Beja, Portugal, in the northern hemisphere.

The European Commission funded the telescopes as part of Portugal’s 25 million euro ($26 million) Recovery and Resilience Plan. Deimos, which was recently sold to Spanish defense contractor Indra, supplied the telescopes.

Neuraspace plans to pool data from its own infrastructure with data gathered from public sources and partnerships with other ground telescope providers to improve space traffic management services for satellite operators.

The four-year-old venture’s software platform uses artificial intelligence to provide real-time satellite position information to improve operations in space, including collision avoidance maneuver guidance.

According to Neuraspace CEO Chiara Manfletti, the newly installed telescopes can capture data roughly every second, helping reduce positional error uncertainty to less than 100 meters during a single orbital revolution.

“Due to their locations, our measurement results would roughly double over the course of one year, addressing seasonal gaps associated with tracking LEO objects with passive optical systems,” Manfletti said via email.

“Thus, we will have more data that can be used to update orbits at least two times more frequently. And by tracking data with two telescopes, we can obtain orbits up to several times more accurately than by using only one sensor.”

She declined to disclose the exact location of the Chile telescope. Neuraspace’s first telescope has already produced more than 300,000 measurements of objects from LEO to geostationary orbit, and the company expects its second will be 25% more productive because of a higher number of clearer nights in the area.

“Because of better viewing conditions, Neuraspace will also be able to achieve slightly better accuracy, more detection and fainter objects,” Manfletti added.

More than 400 satellites currently use Neuraspace’s platform for conjunction monitoring and collision avoidance services, according to the company, which started offering a free version in March to foster more collaboration among operators.

The European Space Agency plans to test space traffic management services offered by Portuguese startup Neuraspace.

Under a contract announced Sept. 16, ESA’s Space Debris Office will integrate Neuraspace services with its existing tools to assess conjunctions at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Germany.

The Neuraspace contract shows ESA’s “strong commitment” to supporting the commercial space sector, “enhancing space sustainability, and innovating future orbital safety,” Klaus Merz, senior collision avoidance analyst for ESA’s Space Safety Program Office, said in a statement.

ESA’s Space Safety Program is focused “on the perils in space that threaten critical components of our modern society,” Merz added. “If not managed properly, resident space objects ultimately threaten the economically vital Earth orbits to become unusable.”

By relying on commercial services from Neuraspace and others, ESA seeks “to reduce risks and contribute to protecting our space assets,” Merz said.

Enhanced Services
For Neuraspace, collaboration with ESOC will provide an opportunity to “refine and enhance our existing solution for both institutional and commercial needs,” Neuraspace CEO Chiara Manfletti said in a statement. “It will also allow us to benefit from ESA’s expertise and operational insights as a long-time and important space actor.”

The value of the ESA contract was not disclosed.

On Sept. 10, Neuraspace announced work with the Portuguese Air Force focused on space situational awareness, surveillance and tracking. Neuraspace unveiled its first optical telescope at an airbase in Beja, Portugal. Funding for the telescope was provided by the European Commission as part of Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan.

In March, Neuraspace released a free version of its space traffic management platform to encourage collaboration among spacecraft operators.
