NorthStar Earth & Space is a commercial company focused on space-based Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services. They are building a constellation of satellites, called SKYLARK network, to monitor objects in near-Earth orbits and provide services like space object tracking, collision prediction, and navigation assistance. NorthStar partners with organizations like Telespazio, SES, Spire Global, and ExoAnalytic Solutions, and receives funding from Telesystem Space, Luxembourg Future Fund, and the Canadian government. The company aims to deliver precise and timely information for Space Domain Awareness and Space Traffic Management applications.
