ARISTAR

ARISTAR Mission

DORUS Space Lab is developing ARISTAR, an advanced mission concept dedicated to high-precision space-based monitoring of orbital debris. The mission addresses space‑based observation challenges through optimised constellation design and in‑orbit demonstration of quantum sensing technologies, contributing to the global space situational awareness.

Supported by the GEORB software suite, ARISTAR utilises state-of-the-art Precise Orbit Determination (POD) and high-fidelity dynamics modelling to achieve unprecedented accuracy for space debris orbits.

Furthermore, as a versatile multi-sensor platform, ARISTAR is also envisioned to host the ARIS mission concept, an ambitious research initiative focused on investigating higher-order derivatives of the gravitational potential.
