London, UK 20/11/2025 – Spaceflux Ltd, a UK-based leader in space domain awareness (SDA) and space intelligence, has won all three major multimillion-pound, multiyear UK government contracts to provide advanced space surveillance and tracking (SST) data across multiple orbital regimes.
The UK Space Agency (UKSA) and the UK Ministry of Defence (UKMoD) contracts, awarded under the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) framework, secure Spaceflux’s central role in delivering the UK’s orbital intelligence capability.
Two of these awards continue the operational SST programmes previously delivered for both the UK Space Agency and UK Space Command, reinforcing the company’s position as the UK’s incumbent provider of sovereign optical surveillance data.
This marks a significant step in bolstering the nation’s ability to independently monitor and protect its satellites amid growing orbital congestion, intensifying geopolitical competition, and rising adversarial activity in space. Additionally, this highlights the increasing importance of assured UK capability in space domain awareness – vital for both national security and the safe, sustainable use of orbit as thousands of new commercial satellites join already crowded orbital highways. By anchoring its surveillance capability in an independent, UK-led network, the country reduces reliance on foreign providers and asserts itself as a leader in responsible space operations.
Under the 3 contracts, Spaceflux will be able to deliver persistent surveillance across all orbits – from LEO to GEO and beyond – combining routine monitoring of priority UK satellites with on-demand tasking in the event of collisions, fragmentations, or unexpected manoeuvres. The resulting datasets, acquired through Spaceflux’s proprietary optical network enhanced with Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging for day-and-night tracking, will be integrated directly into BOREALIS, NSpOC’s space Command and Control (C2) system and the digital backbone of its operations.
To extend this capability, Spaceflux is leading a multi-phenomenology consortium that adds significant depth to its existing sensor network. Partners include Safran and GMV (passive RF), Look Up (radar systems), EOS (laser ranging), and Optera (neuromorphic sensors). By fusing these complementary technologies, the consortium enables multi-sensor data correlation and cross-validation, strengthening resilience against spoofing, signal loss, or sensor degradation – and giving the UK one of the most comprehensive and reliable space surveillance architectures worldwide.
Powered by Spaceflux’s AI-driven CORTEX analytics platform – which also provides real-time anomaly detection, behavioural characterisation, and predictive insights – the integrated system will deliver continuous, high-fidelity orbital intelligence. This marks a crucial step in advancing a joint civil–military Space Domain Awareness capability, enhancing the nation’s ability to coordinate responses to potential hazards and safeguard the orbital infrastructure that underpins national communications, navigation, and defence systems.
Marco Rocchetto, CEO and Co-founder of Spaceflux, said:
“Being reselected for the MoD and UKSA contracts marks a major milestone in Spaceflux’s evolution from a pioneering startup to a trusted operational partner for national space security. By combining advanced optical systems, AI analytics, and multi-sensor integration, we’re transforming how orbital activity is tracked and understood. Our technology enables the UK to detect, analyse, and respond to events in real time – delivering the precision, resilience, and independence modern space operations demand. This achievement reflects the strength of our team and our mission to provide the intelligence that keeps space secure, transparent, and sustainable.”
Angus Stewart, Head of the National Space Operations Centre said: “Our partnership with Spaceflux strengthens the UK’s optical ability to monitor and protect our space assets. By integrating this advanced sensor network into the National Space Operations Centre, we are enhancing our resilience and ensuring the UK remains at the forefront of responsible and secure space operations.”
Group Captain Nick Bewley, Programme Director for the National Space Operations Centre military capability, said “Dynamic space operations, executed recently in partnership with our allies, have further underlined the importance of accurate, timely and reliable observation data. The integration of Spaceflux’s optical sensors with the NSpOC’s analytical systems enhances our ability to detect threats and defend our interests in the Space domain.”
With these awards, Spaceflux cements its role as the UK’s front-line, sole provider of orbital intelligence and a global innovator in space safety. Combining sovereign sensor infrastructure with advanced AI analytics, the company is redefining how governments and operators monitor, predict, and respond to activity in orbit – making space operations faster, safer, and more sustainable.
