SCOUT & Privateer to
Collaborate on Revolutionary Space Sustainability
Framework
SCOUT Space Inc., and Privateer
Space today announced they’ve joined forces to
enhance space operations safety.
The collaboration is focused on
integrating SCOUT’s systems architecture and data
collection capabilities with Privateer’s data
solutions, including Wayfinder, an open access, near
real-time visualization of satellites and debris in
space. The two companies plan to explore building
out joint offerings that further enhance their
respective datasets on space objects and events.
"SCOUT is quickly becoming
recognized as a leader in providing in-space
observation data. Over the last year, we’ve
initiated partnerships with Slingshot, Okapi:Orbits
(DE), and Kayhan Space as a data source,” noted Eric
Ingram, Co-founder and CEO of SCOUT. “This
collaboration with Privateer is aligned with our
vision and involves the development of several
in-space data collection activities to evaluate the
potential for technical interoperability to enhance
space sustainability and safety capabilities for
both our companies.”
“Our everyday lives depend on
space-based services all orbiting safely. At
Privateer, we strive to make space predictable,
safe, and accessible to pave the way for rapid
growth of exploration and commerce through our
proprietary data infrastructure,” said Dr. Travis
Blake, Chief Commercial Officer of Privateer. “We
are excited to collaborate with SCOUT to advance our
product capabilities to better track debris and
enable sustainable growth for the new space
economy.”
Both SCOUT and Privateer are
recognized for their pursuit of a more sustainable
and transparent space operations environment. The
combination of the two companies' capabilities will
enable more timely decision intelligence in the
space domain via more diverse data offerings. This
partnership expands Privateer’s growing network of
space sustainability collaborators. The data and
intelligence platform recently partnered with OMEGA
to advance space exploration, and the Space
Sustainability Rating to encourage sustainable space
missions.
This announcement is being made
shortly after SCOUT’s announcement last week on
winning two STTR awards from the U.S. Space Force
SpaceWERX Orbital Prime Program.
