Neuraspace strengthens its space traffic management solution with EISCAT partnership

Widening its partner base, Neuraspace has joined EISCAT Scientific Association as an affiliate institution. EISCAT Scientific Association has been providing access to high-latitude incoherent radar scattering facilities and other instrumentation for scientific, non-military purposes since the 1980ies.

This strategic partnership gives Neuraspace, a European-born global leader in space traffic management (STM), access to radar observation time for monitoring space objects. It will also provide advanced ionospheric and atmospheric measurement data, in preparation for using the next generation of the incoherent scatter radar facility EISCAT_3D.

Using EISCAT’s legacy radar data, which complements Neuraspace”s optical data, will enable the company to offer a more comprehensive view of the space environment and improve automated operations, manoeuvre suggestions and decision-making for Neuraspace customers.

“Access to EISCAT data is a game-changer for Neuraspace,” said Chiara Manfletti, CEO of Neuraspace. “We can develop more robust methodologies and algorithms to correlate information from various sources. This ultimately leads to actionable intelligence for automated operations incorporating space traffic management. EISCAT’s expertise and commitment to scientific progress aligns perfectly with our mission. Their future endeavours, such as EISCAT 3D, further solidify this partnership’s potential.”

Partnering with EISCAT also allows Neuraspace to collaborate with the wider community of experts, fostering innovation in STEM research and development.
