Next Generation Satellite Tracking Services

Accurate, Persistent and Timely Capabilities to Address New Challenges

Space is an interactive and dynamic domain, making it critical to understand where your satellites are in relationship to others at all time. There are an increasing number of satellite interactions, some of which are accidental, while others are not. Orbits derived from hours old data may no longer be relevant as interactions can happen quickly. Accurate, persistent and timely Space Domain Awareness (SDA) systems backed by Kratos’ global sensor network can support anyone operating in this quickly changing domain.

Precision sensing and orbit determination services from Kratos supply satellite location information without the need for transmissions from the ground to the satellite, satellite cooperation, specialized satellite payloads or detailed knowledge of ranging signal structures and definition.

Purpose Built for the Dynamic Space Environment

Kratos’ Tracking and Maneuver Detection Service continuously tracks satellites day and night, and through all weather. By uniquely identifying each satellite, it tracks closely spaced objects through proximity operations without cross-tagging. The high-precision persistent system gives unparalleled insight into satellite operations.

Kratos’ SDA technologies are purpose built to provide precision tracking data in a dynamic environment.

  • High Accuracy Ephemeris (within 150m)
  • Rapid revisit rate (30 minutes)
  • Persistent Tracking 24/7/265 (no solar exclusion)
  • Unique signal identification (no cross-tagging during proximity operations)

Global Coverage for Wider Awareness

Kratos’ global network of RF sensors measures the signals transmitted by satellites from multiple sites. These signals are analyzed and processed to produce the position and velocity of the satellite and can detect maneuvers in near real-time.

Specific data products available include:

  • State Vectors
  • Maneuver Alerts
  • Raw TDOA/FDOA

Tracking and maneuver detection services by Kratos are available as a subscription or on-demand.
