Ground-Based Space Object Tracking
Slingshot's Global Sensor Network (SGSN) offers unparalleled capabilities in day and night tracking of spacecraft from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous Earth orbit. With over 150 sensors across 20 global locations, including gimbaled telescopes and staring arrays, the network provides high-revisit-rate tracking. The system captures real-time LEO and GEO activities, allowing for post-event analysis through its historical database. Slingshot's proprietary sensor development covers a range of optical wavelengths, ensuring comprehensive coverage across the electromagnetic spectrum. The distributed network with 20 sites offers resilience against weather outages and redundancy for enhanced observation opportunities.
Multi-Sensor Data Fusion
Slingshot's Multiple Frame Assignment Space Tracker (MFAST) software is a cutting-edge solution for processing data from multiple sensors and sensing modalities. The software provides advanced uncorrelated track processing, orbit determination, and maneuver detection by integrating inputs from various sources. Its real-time, multi-platform executability allows for scalability across different hardware setups. With a proven track record in space surveillance tracking, MFAST supports breakup processing, maneuver detection, catalog maintenance, and object discovery in multiple orbital regimes. The software's customized algorithms ensure high accuracy and near real-time orbit determination.
