RECRUIT
The Challenges We Tackle
Star Signal Solutions is looking for talented individuals to join our team.
As the number of satellites in orbit continues to grow, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be around 37 million close approaches per year that may require collision-avoidance actions.
To strengthen and further advance our services in response to this rapidly evolving environment, we are seeking motivated teammates who can help drive our mission forward.
Challenges Faced by Satellite Operators in Collision-Avoidance Operations
- Data Challenges
The conjunction data currently available to satellite operators is often incomplete, with uncertainties of around 10 kilometers, making accurate risk assessment difficult. - Operational Challenges
Implementing collision-avoidance maneuvers requires operators to analyze conjunction data for each event and develop a customized avoidance plan for every satellite. - Business Challenges
Collision-avoidance maneuvers can shorten a satellite’s operational lifetime and reduce observation opportunities, leading to direct business losses.
Satellite operators are required to perform collision-avoidance maneuvers whenever their satellites approach other objects in orbit, in order to prevent orbital traffic accidents and protect the space environment.
