Satcat Product Suite sets a new standard in space situational awareness (SSA) and space traffic coordination (STC), providing essential real-time data and cutting-edge tools to prevent collisions and ensure the safe and reliable operation of on-orbit assets.
DENVER, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kayhan Space, a next-generation spaceflight and safety solutions provider, today announced the official release of Satcat Product Suite, a major expansion of its spaceflight intelligence exchange platform. Satcat Product Suite unifies the capabilities of Satcat, the premier platform for space-related data, and Pathfinder, the ultimate collection of spaceflight tools, into a single mission-critical platform. It combines the industry's most comprehensive real-time data for space situational awareness (SSA) with autonomous tools and operator-to-operator coordination capabilities for space traffic coordination (STC) – all in one streamlined dashboard.
With thousands of satellites and millions of pieces of debris already traversing low Earth orbit (LEO) – and tens of thousands of new satellites expected by 2030 – the space environment is becoming increasingly congested, dramatically raising the risk of collisions throughout the mission lifecycle, from launch to end-of-life.
Satcat Product Suite addresses these challenges by providing space operators with a single, unified platform for all of their SSA and STC needs. The new platform creates the largest public repository of space object information so that operators have a complete view of orbital traffic and potential risks to their fleet. It adds a new expansive business directory and direct operator-to-operator communication channels to facilitate greater transparency, information sharing, and real-time coordination. Additionally, the platform incorporates leading-edge technology capabilities, such as AI/ML-enhanced domain awareness, orbit determination, advanced conjunction assessment, and autonomous collision avoidance to streamline information and alerts, enable faster decision-making on maneuvers, and ensure safer operations in orbit.
"Kayhan has been providing critical space traffic coordination and collision avoidance services to many satellite operators since 2020," said Siamak Hesar, CEO and Co-Founder of Kayhan Space. "But as the congestion in the LEO environment has increased dramatically, we have started noticing critical shortcomings of siloed operational data sources required for making timely operational decisions. This is why we built Satcat – the largest space object data aggregation and intelligence exchange platform. By unifying Pathfinder's operational STC capabilities with Satcat's aggregated data architecture, we are delivering a truly comprehensive and all-in-one experience to satellite operators and space professionals that meet key U.S. and global best practices for space safety."
Key Features - Next-Generation Spaceflight Intelligence and Coordination
Satcat Product Suite redefines how operators manage spaceflight, combining the industry's most comprehensive intelligence with the first autonomous space traffic coordination network – delivering a safer, more efficient, and collaborative space environment. With cutting-edge tools and AI-driven insights, operators gain real-time awareness, predictive intelligence, and the ability to seamlessly collaborate across the industry.
- Business & Operator Directory – A comprehensive database of satellite operators, manufacturers, agencies, and service providers, featuring verified, up-to-date information for identifying key stakeholders in the space ecosystem. "We invite all relevant businesses to go on our Satcat Product Suite and claim their page," said Araz Feyzi, CTO and Co-Founder of Kayhan Space. "Businesses will be allowed to modify the content of their directories for accuracy."
- Largest Repository of Space Object Information – Aggregates current and historical data from 60,000 satellites (both active and decayed) and space debris, across 12+ public resources to provide all the essential SSA information operators need. This includes satellite TLEs (TLE comparison and validation tools, latest updates, 10-day visibility forecast, and historical data up to four years), ephemerides sharing, operator-to-operator communication and coordination, conjunction risks, maneuver plans, design and origin information of resident space objects (RSOs), and more.
- Real-Time Updates & Alerts – Provides trends, real-time space weather alerts, launch and decay statistics, interactive visualizations, and AI-assisted intelligence reports to support proactive decision-making.
- Asset Watchlists – Monitor selected satellites and space assets with personalized tracking and alerting features.
- Spaceflight Safety Automation – Features automated catalog screening, risk assessment, and optimal maneuver planning. Advanced SSA tools provide conjunction assessments, realistic covariance generation, orbit determination, and on-demand tracking with API/SDK integrations. Autonomous collision avoidance automatically generates safe impulsive, low-thrust, and differential drag maneuver options when an avoidance maneuver is needed to reduce collision risk.
- Operator-to-Operator Coordination – Enables operators to autonomously coordinate maneuver responsibility and event mitigation at the machine level, following user preferences, industry best practices, and widely endorsed operational guidelines. Additionally, it establishes direct communication channels for real-time operator-to-operator coordination.
- Precise Orbit Determination – Leverages high-fidelity models, realistic covariance for risk assessment, and data fusion from diverse tracking networks to ensure accurate orbit predictions. Supports single satellites and large constellations with automated, scalable, and synchronized cloud pipelines.
- Pricing Transparency – As part of this major product release, Kayhan Space is publicly sharing pricing information for the first time for its initial two product tiers. Customers can use the interactive wizard in the product section of the website (www.kayhan.space/products/satcat) to receive mission-specific pricing details.
Aligns with U.S. and Global Space Safety Objectives
Satcat Product Suite directly supports global space safety benchmarks by enhancing the safety, responsibility, and sustainability of orbital operations, by utilizing government and commercial capabilities. The platform delivers timely, accurate, and actionable SSA data, addressing critical gaps in SSA coverage and improving accuracy. By incorporating owner/operator (O/O) data – such as satellite ephemerides and planned maneuvers – Satcat Product Suite enables improved situational awareness and fosters direct operator-to-operator communication, ensuring more efficient coordination and collaboration.
The platform facilitates coordinated collision avoidance maneuvers, empowering operators to proactively mitigate risks and minimize the potential for conjunction events. By providing tools for automated conjunction assessments, maneuver planning, and orbit utilization coordination, Satcat Product Suite ensures adherence to minimum safety standards and supports the creation of best practices for safe operations. Its real-time capabilities deliver timely collision warnings, enabling operators to respond quickly and effectively in emergencies, while fostering a more collaborative and safer orbital environment.
Supporting Research and Education
The Satcat Product Suite offers a public version as a resource for researchers, educators, and space enthusiasts, providing open access to its catalog of active and decayed satellites, along with space debris in Earth's orbit. This initiative supports education and research by including a searchable database, a 3D Globe view of orbital paths, an orbit designer for educational exploration, and visualizations such as 30-day launch trends, space weather forecasts, and solar activity charts.
The public version is distinct from the enterprise version, as it does not contain advanced data and sensitive operator information.
