LeoLabs, a leader in space activity monitoring solutions, has been chosen to support the United Kingdom Space Command's Project Tyche. LeoLabs will provide space tracking, monitoring, and collision avoidance services for the launch and operation of the satellite.

Project Tyche, set to launch this summer, is a 150-kilogram research and development satellite developed under the ISTARI programme. This initiative aims to test and demonstrate technologies for the UK's first multi-satellite intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) constellation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Tyche will be the inaugural satellite launched under the ISTARI programme.

LeoLabs will offer Space Situational Awareness (SSA) services and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) services, including continuous monitoring of selected high-interest objects.

"LeoLabs is proud to support the UK Space Command and the UK Ministry of Defence as it takes this significant step towards developing the UK's first constellation of ISR satellites in Low Earth Orbit," said LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier. "We look forward to acting as a critical mission partner to the UK and its Allies for this and future missions, enabling the continued safety and security of space."
