Geosynchronous orbit and other high orbits have immense strategic value, and countries like China are building spacecraft capable of approaching, inspecting and interfering with other nations&#8217; satellites. The infrastructure that connects, informs, and protects the world sits in an environment prone to conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Astranis has announced Perceptor, a new space domain awareness and maneuverability solution operating in GEO and other high orbits. Perceptor expands Astranis&#8217; offering beyond connectivity into a space infrastructure provider. Gaps in current space domain awareness capabilities may affect the US and its allies. Proliferated GEO is described as an area of focus in current capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Astranis provides mission-critical infrastructure for strategic higher orbits. What we found is our means to detect and respond to emerging threats to this infrastructure are sorely lacking,&#8221; said<strong> John Gedmark, CEO and co-founder of <\/strong><strong>Astranis<\/strong>. \u201cThere are blind spots that will be used against us if not eliminated. With Perceptor, we\u2019re meeting the increasing demand for security in GEO with our proven on-orbit platform and ability to produce at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Perceptor Capabilities:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Observe and Inspect<\/strong>. An onboard sensor suite means the spacecraft can assess objects and activity in orbit. Multi-angle flybys can assess spacecraft capabilities, help troubleshoot anomalies on friendly spacecraft, and provide additional observation capability in a domain where awareness has historically been limited.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maneuverability<\/strong>: Perceptor can both respond to nearby activity in real time and use its electric propulsion system to traverse the full GEO arc, repositioning dozens of times over its mission lifetime.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swarm Tactics<\/strong>. Proliferated spacecraft mean new tactics to counter attempts at evasion, with an approach that scales to meet the needs of the mission.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>. Perceptor uses Astranis\u2019s operational MicroGEO platform and is ready to be produced at scale, built on the same production line as satellites that are flying today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perceptor has been designed for both commercial and national security missions in GEO and other high orbits. It&#8217;s built on the same MicroGEO platform with five satellites already on orbit today, leveraging a previously deployed platform for critical in-space infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q_8cUvXinXQ?&amp;time_continue=1&amp;source_ve_path=NzY3NTg&amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.astranis.com%2F&amp;embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.astranis.com&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Space is now a contested domain.
