Operational Impact
The ADLER-2 project is a world-leading solution for the accurate monitoring of space debris. It offers a fully flexible 'Space as a Service' option, providing a ready-to-go orbiting platform for state-of-the-art data gathering technology. This eliminates the need for developing costly and time-consuming in-orbit infrastructure. The project is expected to provide a more precise picture of space debris in Earth orbit, contributing significantly to space situational awareness. Furthermore, the ADLER-2 nanosatellite will also carry a remote sensing payload to study clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere. The project is a successful example of cooperation between companies and research organisations, each delivering on their specialist element to form a powerful combination. | |
Quantitative Benefit
