We are introducing the new, redesigned spaceflux.io. The new site is a reflection of how Spaceflux is growing and evolving to better serve our customers and partners. As the company has matured, we felt it was time for our online presence to grow with us. The new site, created in collaboration with the renowned design…

The vastness of space holds countless wonders—and potential hazards. With over 31,000 Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) currently catalogued and hundreds more discovered each month, the need for robust monitoring systems has never been more critical. Today, we’re proud to announce that Spaceflux’s global observation network is now part of the UK Space Agency’s (UKSA) contribution to the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN). 

At 04:30 UTC on 19th October 2024, the geostationary communications satellite Intelsat 33E (IS-33e) experienced a catastrophic failure, resulting in its fragmentation in geostationary orbit (GEO). Spaceflux played a pivotal role in responding to this event as the first commercial entity to publicly announce the anomaly and providing critical tracking data to government and commercial clients. This post explores the event, Spaceflux’s response, and its significance for space operations. 

A little more than two years. That is how much time it took us to grow from three founders with an idea at a pub in London to a company with 30 team members, 15 telescope locations across five continents, offices in two countries and multimillion contracts.

Spaceflux Labs is our dedicated research division, focused on advancing the frontiers of Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA). It serves as a vibrant centre for innovation and co-creation, where our researchers collaborate with customers and partners to develop cutting-edge solutions that address the complex challenges of the orbital environment.
