Beyond Gravity launches new program for satellite tracking
Emmen/Bern - Beyond Gravity has developed a new program to track and identify satellites. By offering comprehensive datasets, the online platform serves government agencies, disaster relief organizations and security services.
Beyond Gravity, an aerospace division of RUAG based in Emmen in the canton of Lucerne and Bern, has developed a new Space Situational Awareness (SSA) program. As detailed in a press release, the online software can be used to determine not only the positions of satellites, but also deliver internal data in terms of the technologies and instruments used in them. In this way, the aim is to offer users an insight into the purpose and capabilities of a satellite, as the company writes in the press release. This means that the Beyond Gravity program is specifically tailored to customers such as government agencies, disaster relief organizations and security companies who require rapid access to data to support their decision-making processes.
«Our new SSA solution is designed to create great added value for our customers, for example by significantly speeding up decision-making», comments Oliver Grassmann, Executive Vice President of the Satellites division at Beyond Gravity, in the press release. «It identifies satellites with necessary capabilities that will fly or have flown over a specific area with unprecedented accuracy, allowing emergency services to swiftly access this information. This can notably expedite the rescue of individuals identified through satellite imagery», he adds.
