AI-powered space domain awareness (SDA) software that fuses satellite tracking data from Slingshot's global optical sensor network, commercial data providers, and government feeds into a unified operational picture. Used by the U.S. Space Force, Missile Defense Agency, and allied space commands for collision avoidance, anomaly detection, and space traffic management. The Slingshot Digital Space Twin provides 3D visualization of the orbital environment for training and mission planning.
Comprehensive satellite and launch database covering tens of thousands of spacecraft records with mission, ownership, financial, and technical lineage updated regularly. Used by satellite operators, government agencies, investors, and insurers worldwide for market intelligence and technical due-diligence. Acquired by Slingshot Aerospace to complement its SDA analytics platform and integrated to provide enriched contextual threat assessment against known and unknown orbital objects.
Slingshot operates a worldwide network of optical sensors that observes objects across low Earth orbit through geostationary orbit, generating proprietary tracking data the company owns rather than reselling. The network feeds the Slingshot Platform with independent observations used for orbit determination, conjunction screening, and detection of new or maneuvering objects. Owning the sensing layer lets Slingshot offer operators and governments tracking coverage that is not dependent on the U.S. Space Surveillance Network alone.
