Neuraspace has developed its Launch and Early Operations (LEOP) Tracking & Support solution to help satellite operators, launch providers and government organizations safely manage one of the most critical phases of a space mission. The service combines advanced tracking, orbit determination, collision avoidance and communication support to improve mission reliability immediately after launch, particularly for increasingly complex rideshare deployments. By integrating multiple data sources with AI-enabled automation, the platform is designed to reduce operational risks and accelerate the transition from launch to routine satellite operations.
The LEOP solution begins with comprehensive observations using Neuraspace’s own optical telescopes together with a network of partner optical, radar and laser sensors. These observations are combined with data from ground stations and onboard GNSS receivers to perform high-accuracy orbit determination and prediction. The platform generates high-precision orbital data and Two-Line Element Sets (TLEs) that enable operators to accurately identify, track and monitor spacecraft during the critical launch and early orbit phase.

A key capability of the platform is its support for rideshare missions, where identifying newly deployed satellites can be particularly challenging. Neuraspace provides initial TLEs based on separation data, followed by continuous tracking and data correlation using GNSS measurements and acquisition/loss of signal (AoS/LoS) information to positively identify satellites during the days following deployment. The company also offers communication loss support, helping operators establish early contact with spacecraft and recover from communication interruptions during LEOP or later in the mission lifecycle.
Beyond tracking, the LEOP package integrates collision avoidance support through the Neuraspace PRO Space Traffic Management platform. Operators receive on-demand conjunction screening, manoeuvre recommendations and real-time orbit analysis to minimise collision risks throughout the mission. The solution is built on proprietary AI and machine learning models, multi-source data fusion, scalable software architecture and automation that reduce manual workloads while improving decision-making accuracy and operational efficiency.
Neuraspace’s LEOP services are designed for satellite owners and operators, launch service providers, defence and governmental organisations, insurance carriers and regulators. The platform helps satellite operators optimise manoeuvres, reduce fuel consumption, automate conjunction analysis and extend mission lifetimes. Launch providers benefit from accurate tracking and safe deployment services, while defence organisations gain enhanced space domain awareness. Insurance companies can provide real-time collision analysis for improved risk assessment and regulators receive operational insights that support compliance with global space debris mitigation requirements.
Through the integration of proprietary sensors, AI-powered analytics, automated workflows and precise orbital tracking, Neuraspace’s LEOP solution provides end-to-end support from launch through early orbit operations. By combining comprehensive observations, high-precision orbit determination, rideshare identification, communication recovery, conjunction screening and collision avoidance into a unified platform, the company aims to enable safer, more autonomous and more resilient satellite operations.
