Portuguese Air Force relies on Neuraspace to ensure space safety

Neuraspace and the Portuguese Air Force have announced their collaboration to enhance airspace safety and security as well as space sustainability. The partnership also marks the installation and use of Neuraspace’s first and fully operational optical telescope installed at Air Base No. 11, in Beja, Portugal. Neuraspace’s optical telescope is aso part of the "AI fights Space Debris" project under Portugal’s Recovery and Resilience Plan funded by the European Commission.

The joint effort between the Portuguese Air Force and Neuraspace focuses on enhancing Portugal’s space situational awareness and space surveillance and tracking capabilities as well as its specialisation in support of advancing space safety. Using Neuraspace’s telescope together with the company’s artificial intelligence capabilities, the partnership aims to optimise space data analysis. The data collected can be correlated with the data that Neuraspace gathers from different sources with multiple partners, thus reinforcing the information for operators who use the services of Neuraspace.
