LeoLabs announced the commissioning of its West Australian Space Radar to improve tracking of satellites and debris in low-Earth orbit.

LeoLabs spotted a near-miss between two defunct Soviet space objects, a rocket body and dead spy satellite, that missed one another by an incredibly small margin.

LeoLabs collision avoidance services are mentioned in this article exploring the benefits of more orbital data.

A new and contentious five-year limit for getting rid of dead satellites could slow the growing orbital litter problem—if people actually abide by it.

Dr. Darren McKnight, LeoLabs Senior Technical Fellow, discusses the urgent need for the US government to take a leadership position globally in facilitating the removal of dangerous derelict objects in space that pose the highest levels of collision risk.

As hundreds of new satellites are being added to low Earth orbit every year, the risk of debris—and the millions of dollars of economic damage it can cause—is ever-increasing. It’s a risk that’s constantly on Dan Ceperley’s mind. On Wednesday, the company announced that it’s expanding its radar system to the Azores in Portugal, which will help widen the view of the company’s tracking systems and enable it to track even more debris in orbit.

Space is getting increasingly crowded, and with a number of companies putting constellations of hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit in the coming years, ensuring that they don’t collide with each other – or an old bit of space junk — is increasingly important. That’s where Menlo Park, Calif.-based LeoLab’s automated collision avoidance system comes into play.

Remember that scene in Gravity when Sandra Bullock goes spinning off into space after her shuttle is struck by debris? Space junk is a very real problem astronauts face, and @LeoLabs_Space is working to track it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The New Zealand Space Agency is moving quickly to develop a comprehensive strategy reflecting its priorities including sustainability, agility and collaboration, said agency head Peter Crabtree.
