Juno and Tyche form part of the Ministry of Defence’s space-based ISR programme that will deliver a constellation of satellites and supporting ground systems by 2031.
LeoLabs will provide space tracking and monitoring and collision-avoidance services to the U.K. Space Command’s Project Tyche.
Tyche is a 150-kilogram research and development concept satellite being built under the ISTARI programme.

LeoLabs was selected to support the launch and operations of the United Kingdom Space Command's Project Tyche by delivering space tracking, monitoring, and collision avoidance services.
Through Project Tyche, the UK Ministry of Defence seeks to learn how to use information gathered in low-Earth orbit for security and dual-use purposes.
Project Tyche is a small satellite built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd scheduled to launch later this summer.
A key outcome of Project TYCHE is to produce a robust understanding and analysis of integration activities, test environments, and interfaces required to establish and maintain UK MOD rights to freely operate a space-based ISR capability.
The Project TYCHE contract provides sustained employment at SSTL with as many as 100 employees directly contributing to project delivery.
