Neuraspace first fully operational optical telescope

Neuraspace, a European-born global leader in space traffic management (STM) has inaugurated its first optical telescope in Portugal to enhance airspace safety and security as well as space sustainability.
The data stemming from the telescope will be a valuable addition to Neuraspace’s existing services.

The optical telescope is installed at Air Base No. 11 in Beja as part of a nascent collaboration with the Portuguese Air Force.

The partnership between the Portuguese Air Force and Neuraspace focuses on strengthening Portugal’s capabilities in Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) and its specialisation in supporting the advancement of space security, an area that the country has long identified as being of strategic importance for its economy, civil protection and the security of critical infrastructures in space and on the ground.
