WASHINGTON — Germany will use Lockheed Martin’s space situational awareness software to track objects in space, the company announced.
The German Space Agency opted for the company’s iSpace command and control system, which collects data from government, commercial and scientific sensors all over the world to track thousands of objects in orbit, Lockheed said in an April 6 announcement. The system alerts operators to anomalies or potential collisions and suggests mitigating actions.
