Products & Solutions
STM & Ops
The core space traffic management platform that automates conjunction screening, collision risk analysis and maneuver optimisation for satellites in orbit. It integrates data from Space-Track CDMs, operator ephemeris files and Neuraspace's own sensor network, uses ML models to improve prediction accuracy and provides a multi-operator coordination environment. Available as a free SYNC tier for basic screening or a PRO subscription with ML predictions, dedicated support and custom integrations.
LEOP
A service package covering the launch and early orbit phase, the most critical and risky window in a satellite's life. Neuraspace provides high-precision TLE generation, orbit determination using fused data from optical, radar and laser sensors, conjunction screening, maneuver recommendations and rideshare mission support including initial satellite identification. The service also covers contingency operations such as satellite recovery after communications loss.
Data & Tracking
A space domain awareness data service providing real-time access to tracking data, space weather information and space object monitoring from Neuraspace's own sensor network. Optical telescopes in Portugal and Chile track objects as small as 10 cm in LEO with accuracy better than 3 arcseconds. The service includes edge computing processing that turns raw observations into data products within 15 minutes, as well as fragmentation monitoring, re-entry event detection and maneuver detection.
Mission Design
A satellite simulation and lifecycle planning platform that helps operators and manufacturers optimise missions before and during deployment. It includes a 3D orbit simulator, orbit risk classification tools aligned to mission objectives, conjunction and maneuver simulation, and mission lifetime optimisation across all phases from launch through disposal. The platform draws on Neuraspace's AI/ML models for collision risk prediction.
NeuraspaceDEF
Neuraspace's dedicated offering for defence and governmental organisations, providing space domain awareness and space traffic management capabilities tailored to security-sensitive operations. The product appears in the company's product navigation alongside its commercial services, reflecting growing demand from European defence stakeholders for autonomous and resilient space situational awareness.
About
Neuraspace was founded in 2020 in Portugal to address the growing collision risk in Earth orbit using AI and machine learning. The company builds an automated space traffic management platform that monitors satellites, screens for conjunctions and delivers maneuver recommendations without requiring constant human intervention. Headquartered in Coimbra, with offices in Lisbon, Porto, Munich and Luxembourg, it serves satellite operators, government agencies, launch providers and defence organisations worldwide.
