Spire to protect its 100+ satellite constellation with Space Traffic Management solution from Neuraspace

Using Neuraspace’s new SYNC and PRO tiers, Spire gains tailored insights to optimise its constellation

​

Coimbra, Portugal, 8 April 2024 – Spire, a leading global provider of space-based data, analytics and space services, will deploy Neuraspace’s Space Traffic Management (STM) platform to its constellation of 100+ multipurpose satellites. 

 

All satellites will be monitored using Neuraspace’s software. This combined setup allows Spire to track and monitor potential conjunctions across its constellation and at the same time focus on its more critical assets.

 

Using the Neuraspace platform, Spire will receive automated conjunctions alerts and in-depth analysis. In addition, the Neuraspace’s STM platform will provide Spire with collision avoidance manoeuvre suggestions, advanced conjunction analysis, manoeuvre management, and automated screening for its growing number of space assets equipped with onboard propulsion.

 

The Neuraspace platform facilitates agile, real-time decision-making which further reduces collision risks. The automatic update of the orbit positions by the Neuraspace platform enables a faster screening of manoeuvres for potential collision avoidance. It also saves human conjunction screening time and effort.

 

Vincent Furia, Senior Director of Constellation Planning and Operations at Spire, said: “Spire is at the forefront of the Space-as-a-Service model. With the STM platform from Neuraspace, we can customize monitoring and analysis data, providing timely collision information. As our constellation expands and orbit congestion grows, Neuraspace's AI-powered STM reduces human screening, preserving fuel and enables more efficient operations."

 

Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace, said: “Being selected by a successful NewSpace company like Spire with a large constellation is testimony to the trust they have in our STM solution. It also demonstrates the need for satellite operators to protect their assets in space.The threat stemming from increased orbital traffic and space debris is a growing concern and potentially a costly issue for satellite and constellation operators like Spire. With our automated STM solution using data from various sources, we can provide them with the most comprehensive overview and analysis. And as a result, we can reduce the threat to their assets and enable our customers to focus on their main business.”
