The proprietary intelligence layer for Low Earth Orbit

SpaceTower is the independent intelligence layer for LEO. Our proprietary fusion engine delivers real-time object status, conjunction screening, collision avoidance, congestion, risk scoring, and launch advisory — the decision layer operators and launch providers run on.

SpaceTower's environment modeling shows that even with no new launches, collisions will grow the debris population — and some bands are already past collisional-runaway thresholds, with 10+ new payloads launched daily.

From space intelligence to in-orbit operations

SpaceTower is building the full stack for a safe, usable Low Earth Orbit. Our proprietary intelligence layer tells operators what is happening and what to do — and our in-orbit vehicles act on it. We detect the risk, decide the maneuver, and, when a threat can't be avoided, go remove it. One closed loop from decision to physical action.

Phase 1 · Live

Intelligence Layer

  • • Proprietary multi-source fusion & deconfliction
  • • Operational status (alive vs. dead)
  • • Conjunction screening & collision avoidance
  • • Congestion, RF & radiation risk maps
  • • Launch advisory + real-time alerts + API
Phase 2 · In development

In-Orbit Removal Vehicle

  • • Target selection driven by Phase 1 intelligence
  • • Autonomous rendezvous with non-cooperative objects
  • • Robotic + captive-capture of tumbling debris
  • • Refuelable, multi-target servicer design
  • • Controlled deorbit or graveyard relocation
Phase 2 · Removal Vehicle

An orbital servicer engineered to clear the highest-risk debris

A refuelable, multi-mission spacecraft that uses SpaceTower intelligence to select, approach, capture, and deorbit the objects driving the most collision risk in LEO.

Capture
Robotic + captive

Robotic-arm grapple of launch-adapter rings, with captive net/tether for irregular tumbling debris.

Propulsion
Hybrid electric + chemical

High-Δv Hall-effect thrusters for orbit transfer; chemical RCS for fine proximity maneuvers.

Reusability
Refuelable servicer

Multi-target architecture and on-orbit refueling interface — many removals per vehicle, not one.

Operating regime
400–1,200 km LEO

Sized for the congested shells where collision risk and debris density are highest.

Disposal
Controlled deorbit

Targeted re-entry into cleared corridors, or relocation of high-value assets to graveyard orbits.

The Intelligence Platform

What the platform delivers — and what you can explore today

🛰️

Live object map

Catalogued objects with status classification — alive vs. dead — on an interactive globe.

🌡️

Congestion heat maps

Altitude × inclination density so operators can see which shells are filling up.

⚠️

Conjunction & collision avoidance

Automated close-approach screening and collision-avoidance maneuver recommendations for your fleet.

☢️

Radiation overlays

South Atlantic Anomaly and cumulative dose estimates by orbit.

📡

RF interference risk

Interference likelihood by frequency band and shell.

🚀

Launch advisor

Input an altitude and inclination; get a risk score and safer injection shells.

📊

Operator scoring

Historical compliance and behavior scoring across operators.

🔌

API + dashboard

Programmatic access and live dashboards for operators and launch providers.

A proprietary multi-source fusion engine

The intelligence you see is produced by SpaceTower's own aggregation and validation pipeline — our core IP. We reconcile many independent streams into one authoritative, continuously updated picture of Low Earth Orbit.

Multi-source fusion

Dozens of independent tracking and catalog streams reconciled into one authoritative picture.

Proprietary deconfliction

Our aggregation and validation pipeline resolves conflicts, gaps, and stale elements across feeds.

Status intelligence

Alive-vs-dead classification, maneuver detection, and constellation attribution beyond any raw catalog.

Continuously updated

The catalog refreshes continuously, with freshness indicators on every view.

Validated & scored

Cross-checked against independent references and surfaced as congestion, risk, and launch scoring.

Operator-ready API

Programmatic access for operators and launch providers, with enhanced feeds under agreement.

Let's keep LEO usable.
