About
Vyoma’s Space Surveillance & Tracking (SST) Service delivers observation data on space objects through a globally distributed network of ground-based sensors augmented by the company’s own Flamingo optical satellite constellation. The service is designed primarily for government, defence, and intelligence customers who require sovereign access to independent, reliable SST data for space domain awareness, threat assessment, and critical infrastructure protection.
Operators can schedule surveillance campaigns covering broad orbital regimes or commission dedicated tracking campaigns focused on specific objects of interest. The service provides observations of catalogued satellites, uncatalogued debris, and actively manoeuvring objects, with near real-time data capture and guaranteed observation latency for high-priority targets.
The space-based layer of the sensor network — the Flamingo constellation — uses optical cameras in Sun-synchronous orbit to observe LEO objects. Flamingo-1 launched on 11 January 2026 and is operational; Flamingo-2 is planned for Q1 2027, with Flamingos 3–12 planned for 2028–2029. The full constellation is designed to achieve revisit times below 60 minutes for all LEO targets, with inter-satellite links on later satellites reducing latencies to seconds for high-interest objects. The optical payload supports sub-pixel accuracy astrometric reduction via time-series methods, generating Tracking Data Messages (TDMs).
