As space traffic increases—whether from human activities or natural phenomena—space situational awareness (SSA) is critical. The risk of collisions with resident space objects (RSOs) poses significant challenges for satellite operators and international space agencies.
Our team has designed and implemented systems for orbital mechanics and RSO discrimination and tracking. These include both passive and active optical systems for on-orbit RSO identification and prediction.
Canada has long been a leader in space innovation and continues to play a vital role in operational monitoring of space assets. We are at the forefront of addressing challenges, contributing to global security by advancing understanding of the space environment and promoting the peaceful use of space.
C-CORE works with Canada’s Department of National Defence, the Canadian Space Agency, and commercial partners to develop practical, next-generation solutions for space and space surveillance.
Our GeoAnalytics team specializes in innovative solutions for defense and security challenges, leveraging expertise in surveillance of space, surveillance from space, and community protection. The multidisciplinary team combines advanced skills in signal processing, orbital analysis, and data integrity with deep knowledge in mathematics, physics, and engineering to deliver solutions ranging from theoretical frameworks to deployable hardware and software systems. Our contributions include pioneering research into quantum signal processing for detecting concealed explosives and the development of multi-static surveillance and signal acquisition systems. These solutions demonstrate our ability to deliver cutting-edge research and development for global defense and security applications.
By delivering these advanced capabilities, C-CORE is helping to safeguard the future of space operations.
