Space Sustainability
HEO reveals unknown conditions of retired satellites and space debris through advanced technology. Our automated space infrastructure supports responsible space operations and helps minimise the potential impact of space debris in space and on Earth.
Understanding the true nature of orbital objects is crucial. HEO's non-Earth imagery is used to understand if an object is space debris and assess its condition.
Accurate re-entry prediction is vital for mitigating risks and ensuring space sustainability. HEO's imagery provides critical insights into a satellite's attitude and tumble rate, enabling dynamic adjustments to predictive models. These enhanced models significantly improve the accuracy of drag calculations, leading to more precise re-entry predictions.
Our imagery delivers critical insights into the target's health and attitude state, enabling informed approach and capture strategies. By providing a clear understanding of the object's condition, we minimize operational uncertainties and maximise the probability of mission success, ensuring safe and efficient in-orbit servicing.
Images taken by HEO show ERS-2 as it rotates on its journey back to Earth.
