La incertidumbre por la crisis climática obliga a pensar en las “soluciones” que ofrece la industria de los satélites y el espacio, defendió este lunes en Washington el jefe de Cancillería de la Embajada argentina, Adrián Nador, durante un evento para celebrar el Día Nacional del Espacio.

LeoLabs, proveedor comercial y líder mundial de servicios de Conocimiento de la Situación en el Espacio (SSA) y cartografía de órbita terrestre baja (LEO), anunció hoy que Argentina será el lugar donde se instalará su próximo radar espacial.

LeoLabs announced plans March 13 to enhance tracking of space objects over the Southern Hemisphere with a new radar in Argentina. The S-band radar, scheduled to be completed by the end of the year, will be located on the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego.

LeoLabs announced that it has selected a site in Argentina for its next ground radar for remotely identifying and tracking objects in space. The new site, called the Argentina Space Radar (AGSR), is expected to be completed later this year.

LeoLabs preliminary findings are quoted in this article about the Cosmos 2499 break up event recorded in January 2023.

At the 2023 Small Sat Symposium in California, CEO Daniel Ceperley spoke about the rapid growth of traffic in LEO and the rising need for space safety services.

A new space radar has recently been commissioned by LeoLabs in Western Australia as the “sixth site around the Earth”, according to LeoLabs President Terry Van Haren.

The defunct satellite Cosmos 2361 and an SL-8 rocket body are two of countless pieces of space debris currently orbiting the Earth. LeoLabs says the collision could have sent thousands of new debris fragments into space that would remain for decades.

Leolabs latest radar facility for monitoring the heavens has opened for business in Western Australia, joining with its New Zealand sister site to improve coverage of the fraught Indo-Pacific region, CEO Dan Ceperley told Breaking Defense.
