\"Vantor<\/p>\n

Vantor<\/strong>, the leading provider of unified spatial intelligence from space to ground, announced it will be supporting the U.S. Space Force<\/strong> in tracking high-interest objects that pass through \u201cblind spots\u201d in space that are not visible to ground sensor networks.<\/p>\n

Under the contract, which will support Space Force\u2019s Joint Commercial Operations program, Vantor will utilise its high-resolution imagery of space objects, also known as non-Earth imagery (NEI), to deliver key information about an object\u2019s position and trajectory. The crucial observations will allow Space Force to maintain persistent custody of the high-interest objects. They will be particularly useful in situations where an object has the potential to change orbit, a problem that could endanger the safety of U.S. assets in space.<\/p>\n

“Vantor\u2019s unique visual-based space domain awareness capabilities serve as a critical complement to traditional sensor networks, providing real-time intelligence that allows customers like Space Force to achieve persistent <\/em>Space Domain Awareness<\/em>,\u201d<\/em> said <\/strong>Susanne Hake<\/strong>, Senior Vice President & General Manager, U.S. Government at Vantor.<\/strong> \u201cOur NEI capability serves as a foundation for advanced orbital intelligence, delivering vital insights about the state and directional paths of objects in LEO\u2014providing a critical national security advantage in a domain that is increasingly congested and contested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Position and trajectory measurements on objects in ground sensor \u201cblind spots\u201d can be delivered through the precise intelligence collected from NEI. Vantor satellites can capture images of other spacecraft at an industry-leading resolution of less than 10 cm from hundreds of kilometers away, making it possible to quickly characterize those space objects and determine their health and status. This Space Force award is one of several Space Domain Awareness-related contracts that Vantor, previously known as Maxar Intelligence, has recently won.<\/p>\n

Vantor is an awardee of The Office of Space Commerce\u2019s \u201cCommercial COLA Gap\u201d<\/em> Pathfinder program. The COLA Gap refers to the period right after a satellite launch when space traffic coordination is hampered by limited or imprecise tracking data. During this time, newly deployed satellites may not have reliable positional information, creating a spike in collision risk and posing coordination challenges for satellite operators, launch providers, and traffic management authorities. Vantor\u2019s NEI and Space Domain Awareness insights will deliver visual-based intelligence to help minimize collision risk.<\/p>\n

Vantor was also included in Space Force\u2019s Domain Awareness Tools, Applications and Processing Lab\u2019s Apollo Accelerator Cohort 6. Vantor will support Space Force by automatically tasking high-resolution NEI to enable rapid response decision-making on threats in orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
