PROJECT

# **Neuraspace AI Fights Space Debris Project -** **Transforming Space Operations**

[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT](https://content.neuraspace.com/prr#project-details)

About the Project

The Neuraspace AI FIGHTS SPACE DEBRIS project contributes to the Neuraspace Space Traffic Management Platform, the first space operations platform focused on Collision Avoidance. Space, especially the “New Space” market, will present new challenges and needs that require new tools.

PROJECT GOALS

 

Within this PRR project, all necessary tools for satellite operators to perform safe and sustainable space operations will be developed.

 

These tools will be made available through the Neuraspace platform as:

 

- Stand-alone product
- An integrated suite providing higher added value

OUR SOLUTION

 

Neuraspace’s unique product combines Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Fusion to improve Space Traffic Management (STM) and ensure sustainable space operations. 

DESIGNED TO

- Reduce false alerts, avoiding unnecessary manoeuvres and saving up to €25,000 per manoeuvre
  
   
- Improve manoeuvre decisions, lowering risk, saving fuel, extending satellite lifespan, and enabling constraint- and priority-based manoeuvres

- Reduce staff time required for operations through AI automation

TARGET CUSTOMERS

- Satellite operators facing space operations challenges
- Other stakeholders, such as:

- - Insurance Providers for Satellite Operators

- - Software Providers
    - Regulators

# Project Structure

The products that will be developed over the course of the PRR project are focused on a unique AI/ML solution that tracks satellites, detects potential collisions and fights space debris. The project is divided in five Product, Process and Services (PPS); the work performed from PSS#1 to PSS#4 pertains to the Neuraspace platform, whilst PSS#5 is complementary to the platform and encompasses the entire body of knowledge related to Space Traffic Management generated over the course of this PRR project.

#### **PPS1: Neuraspace Sensor and Events Catalogue**

#### What: Tracks space objects and keeps track of the possible near encounter by creating Collision Data Message

#### Why: Increases planning margin as alerts come earlier. Generates savings, as better predictions reduce the need of staff allocated to the tasks (false alerts reduction). Having an end-to-end service that tracks objects with radars and verifies their safety regarding close encounters is essential to obtain a competitive advantage in this market.

 

#### **PPS2: Neuraspace AI Risk Predictor**

#### What: Receives Collision Data Messages of a client’s asset(s) and provides a complete analysis and visualisation of the encounter.

#### Why: More informed decisions reduce risk and allows savings by avoiding unnecessary manoeuvres (one emergency manoeuvre for a single satellite in LEO can cost around 25 k€).

 

#### **PPS3: Neuraspace AI Risk Mitigator**

#### What: Suggests the best possible manoeuvres according to technical and business criteria.

#### Why: Less staff/less time involved in the decisions (operation cost savings) and AI supporting the team to take better decisions.

 

#### **PPS4: Resident Space Objects Visualisation Tool**

#### What: User-friendly interface that allows to easily visualise the positioning of the space objects as well as close encounter predictions.

 

#### Why: Complex decision making requires easily accessible information with the help of better tools for asset visualisation, allowing quicker and more informed decisions at all levels of the organisation.

#### **PPS5: Space Traffic Management Body of Knowledge**

#### What: State of the art knowledge in Space Traffic Management (STM) through the specialized courses, research papers, master thesis, executive training, and support to start-ups.

#### Why: Transversal PSS producing knowledge for the others PSS and the STM value chain.

#### These products will be developed over 36 months by the consortium composed of Neuraspace as leader, IST, UNL-FCT, UC, IPN and GMV, all with expertise in key areas for the successful execution of the project.

#### The project follows the work breakdown structure presented in Figure 1, where it is possible to see the division of works by the consortium, contemplating all the products (PSS) previously presented.
