Northstar Earth & Space

CORE BUSINESS

NorthStar's goal is to vastly improve sustainability by creating a unique set of information services, Space Information & Intelligence (Si2) and Earth Information & Intelligence (Ei2), that will empower humanity to preserve our critical Space and Earth environments.   

From space, NorthStar will accurately track and predict the positions of Space objects and Earth ecosystems through a secure and dedicated system of systems comprising sensors, algorithms, and high-speed information processing. NorthStar´s high fidelity, contextualized information services are designed to keep the Earth and Space environments safe, sustainable, and secure for future generations. NorthStar services empower decision-makers and organizations to predict outcomes and take timely actions to protect valuable assets and make informed decisions with confidence. NorthStar is proud to have its European HQ in Luxembourg and is planning to realize an important operational facility to develop and launch leading edge commercial products.  

PRODUCTS & SERVICES

NorthStar delivers a suite of high-speed, comprehensive information services through a sophisticated and adaptable platform.  

NorthStar provides a unique space-based service to resolve the critical challenges facing satellite and spacecraft operators by delivering more frequent and precise observations than any other SSA system. NorthStar offers precise and timely Space Object Tracking, Navigation Assistance, Space Domain Awareness, Manoeuvre Detection, Proximity Warnings, and high-powered Simulation tools to optimize any system and help clients to navigate confidently in the rapidly expanding space economy. 

NorthStar is developing to launch the first and only space-driven turnkey platform using a combination of Hyperspectral & IR Imaging, to provide real-time monitoring, intelligence, and actionable insight into Earth’s ecosystems crucial for environmental protection and sustainable resource stewardship.  NorthStar is focusing its Immediate attention on creating solutions through partnerships that will benefit agriculture, forestry, energy transportation, and sensitive coastal regions. 

TECHNICAL MEANS

NorthStar’s space-based monitoring system continuously surveys the near-Earth Space environment from LEO to beyond GEO, producing precise observations that drive NorthStar’s Space Information & Intelligence (Si2) platform. With a stream of space-based sensor data coupled with proprietary algorithms and AI,  NorthStar delivers high-precision and predictive Space Object Tracking to address immediate and future Space Situational Awareness and Space Traffic Management challenges.   

NorthStar collects hyperspectral and infrared sensor data pertaining to the chemistry of the Earth multiple times daily, leverages proprietary data analytics, and delivers in near-real time, precise information that serves numerous sectors and industries that have a significant impact on Climate Change and our environment.
