Detect nearby objects and avoid collisions

SIGHT upgrades in-space satellites with space domain awareness capabilities for collision avoidance

How it works

Real Time SDA Coverage
‍
Building a satellite is risky, capital intensive, and can take decades. Satellite designs are locked years before launch, which forces companies to make decisions too early, without the right information. Because of long design and build cycles, businesses and governments have to live with the consequences of decisions they made years ago.

Retrofit Onto Existing Satellites
‍
The SIGHT upgrade has its own independent power source and communications. It also features on board data processing. These features reduce dependency on the host satellite, minimizing potential disruptions.

What you can do

SIGHT | UPGRADED DETECTION AND AVOIDANCE

With the SIGHT upgrade, unprepared satellites can be equipped with object detection and avoidance capabilities.

Identify Orbital Hazards

Enable continuous monitoring of resident space objects (RSOs)

Avoid Collisions

Protect high value satellites by managing the risk of orbital encounters

Commercialize Data

Valuable SDA data can become a new revenue stream via emerging data marketplaces

Fast and flexible

With tactically responsive operations becoming the standard, how you deploy an upgrade is just as important as how you build it. That's why we've optimized both our technology and our business model to provide fast, flexible access to upgrades across different orbits.

Staged on Orbit Transfer Vehicle

Access Katalyst upgrades when you need them via ESPAStar, Vigoride OTV, or other delivery methods

Post Launch Retrofits

Katalyst upgrades can be installed in space by multiple robotic servicers

Pre Launch Installation

Katalyst upgrades can be installed on high value assets (HVA) before they are launched

Attachment systems for upgrading unprepared satellites

Should manufacturers prepare satellites for attachments first? Or should they wait for plug and play interfaces? With Katalyst's retrofit attachment system, even unprepared satellites can become a platform for upgrades.
