DORUS-1 Mission
DORUS is designing DORUS‑1, a mission concept dedicated to space‑based monitoring of space debris. The mission addresses space‑based observation challenges through the in‑orbit evaluation of quantum sensing technologies, contributing to the advancement of space surveillance capabilities.
In addition, DORUS-1 is envisioned to host the ARIS mission concept, an advanced study aimed at investigating higher-order derivatives of the gravitational potential.

MAGIC Mission
Mass Change and Geophysics International Constellation (MAGIC) mission is a future joint gravity mission by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The constellation will consist of ESA’s Next Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) and NASA’s Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment-Continuity (GRACE-C) future missions.

GRACE-FO Mission
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) missions are joint missions of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with the goal of measuring precise changes of the Earth’s gravitational field and climate change modelling through monitoring of water storage, ice sheets, glaciers, sea level and solid Earth.
DORUS hosts a data analysis capability for computing GRACE-FO mission’ scientific data products of precise orbits, in-orbit calibrated accelerometer data and gravity field models. The GRACE-FO data products are being computed and delivered through the GEORB software suite.
