Scout Space Inc., founded in 2019, is a space technology company and in-space observation service provider focused on enabling space safety and transparency. They develop sensor-based systems, including hosted optical payload packages, that allow spacecraft to "see" and understand their surroundings for improved Space Domain Awareness (SDA). Scout Space partners with organizations like Dawn Aerospace, Privateer Space, Slingshot, and Kayhan Space, and their products support national security, collision avoidance, and debris tracking.
