🛰️ Enhancing European sovereignty in Space Situational Awareness Today, at the Eurosatory exhibition, ArianeGroup and HEMERIA signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore new synergies in the field of Space Situational Awareness (SSA). 🤝 The agreement was signed by Vincent Pery, Head of Defence Programmes at ArianeGroup, and Nicolas Multan, President of Hemeria, marking the beginning of discussions aimed at combining the complementary strengths of both companies’ surveillance capabilities. Together, ArianeGroup and HEMERIA will explore how the Helix worldwide optical surveillance network and HEMERIA’s radar-based monitoring expertise can contribute to: 🔹 more comprehensive cataloguing across all orbital regimes 🔹 enhanced tracking capabilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) 🔹 strengthened European autonomy and beyond in space surveillance and protection 🌍 ArianeGroup’s Helix system is Europe’s largest private telescope network, enabling the detection, tracking and characterisation of 35,000 tracked space objects from LEO to GEO and beyond, including cislunar space. Today, Helix is capable of tracking more than 35,000 space objects thanks to a global network of 18 stations and 53 sensors operation worldwide. By 2030, the system will expand to more than 45 stations and over 100 sensors, significantly strengthening Europe’s independent surveillance capabilities. 📡 HEMERIA brings recognised expertise in radar-based SSA through its MEDOC passive radar system and its independent catalogue of more than 10,000 LEO objects, supported by more than 150,000 measurements every day. By combining optical and radar surveillance technologies, ArianeGroup and HEMERIA aim to contribute to a more resilient, autonomous and sovereign European space monitoring capability. 🚀 #RocketMakers #Defence #Civil #SpaceSurveillance #Helix
