Vyoma is a Munich-based space situational awareness company founded in 2020 that is developing a space object monitoring system and automated satellite operations service. They leverage ground-based systems and plan to launch a constellation of observation satellites to monitor space debris in low-Earth orbit. Vyoma's services cater to satellite operators, reinsurers, space agencies, and intelligence officers, and they are a participant in EU Commission and ESA programs for Space Domain Awareness (SDA) technology development. Key partners include Safran, Aerospacelab, and EnduroSat, and associated keywords include space debris monitoring, space traffic management, and collision avoidance.

Safran Corporate Ventures signed a joint investment with three co-investors in Vyoma as part of an €8.5 million funding round.
Vyoma plans to deploy 10 additional satellites in the 18 months following its first launch and intends those satellites to operate in a semi-autonomous surveillance mode to track objects in space.
On 2023-06-20, German startup Vyoma raised 8,500,000 EUR to develop space debris-monitoring satellites.
Vyoma has raised more than 10,000,000 EUR for a constellation of 12 satellites that it plans to start launching next year.
Vyoma will announce a manufacturer for its first two microsatellites in the next few weeks and plans to launch them together or separately around the end of 2024 depending on the chosen launch provider.
Vyoma will launch space-based telescopes that track space debris beginning in 2024 as part of its mission to improve space safety.
Vyoma’s space-based telescopes aim to improve the accuracy of debris trajectory predictions and reduce the visibility threshold to as low as 0.01 m-sized objects.
Vyoma has partnered with EnduroSat under a Memorandum of Understanding to support each other in improving the sustainability of space activities.
Vyoma’s planned space-based telescopes are intended to improve the accuracy of debris trajectory predictions and reduce the visibility threshold to as low as 0.01 m-sized objects.
In 2024 Vyoma will launch space-based telescopes that track space debris.
Vyoma completed an earlier Seed closing and a pre-Seed round in 2021.
Vyoma was awarded contracts by the European Space Agency and the European Commission and participated in early-stage incubation schemes within an 18-month period.
Vyoma’s network telescopes can observe objects down to 5–0.1 m in LEO and around 0.5 m in GEO under dedicated target tracking and clear atmospheric conditions.
Vyoma is raising a Series A round to fund two pilot microsatellites for a launch toward the end of 2023 and plans another 10 satellites over the following 18 months.
Vyoma intends the 12-satellite constellation to provide the high revisit frequency required for cataloguing small fragments larger than 0.01 m whose orbits are heavily perturbed by drag and other forces.
Vyoma is raising a Series A round to fund two pilot microsatellites intended to provide more accurate orbit location and trajectory estimates that are unaffected by weather.
Vyoma and Atos aim to develop solutions for delivering space situational awareness data to satellite operators to help them avoid collisions and unnecessary spacecraft maneuvers.
Vyoma closed pre-seed and seed funding rounds last year to develop space-based cameras for tracking objects as small as 0.01 m with a semi-autonomous satellite network operating in surveillance mode.
Under favorable conditions and via dedicated target tracking, the best-performing ground telescopes in Vyoma’s sensor network can observe objects down to around 0.5 m in geostationary orbit.
Vyoma aims to launch an additional 10 satellites over the 18 months following its first launch, bringing the total to 12 satellites for higher revisit frequency.
