Space Catalog Analytics and Orbit Prediction

Almagest Space provides orbital data analytics and space traffic management (STM) software tools, drawing inspiration from Ptolemy’s Almagest — the ancient Greek astronomical catalog that systematized knowledge of celestial object positions. Just as the Almagest organized known celestial objects into a usable reference, Almagest Space’s platform organizes modern space object tracking data into actionable intelligence for satellite operators.

The company’s orbital analytics platform provides conjunction assessment (collision avoidance screening), high-fidelity orbit propagation using HPOP (High Precision Orbit Propagation) force models, and probability-of-collision (Pc) computation for orbital conjunctions. These tools are essential for satellite operators required to make maneuver decisions when two objects approach within a conjunction warning threshold (typically 5 km).

Almagest Space targets the growing commercial space operator community that needs professional-grade STM tools but cannot access military SSA data feeds or cannot afford large in-house astrodynamics teams. Their SaaS platform democratizes conjunction analysis that was previously only accessible to large prime contractors and government agencies, enabling operators of even small commercial constellations to achieve professional-grade collision risk management.
