PROJECT

CONST

            Mobile Passive Optical Observatories

A new way to see the sky. Fast.

CONST is a technology and service development activity funded by the European Space Agency under its Space Safety Programme (S2P). The project, led by Sybilla Technologies, focuses on delivering fast, secure, and high-accuracy optical observations of Earth-orbiting objects across LEO, MEO, and GEO regimes using mobile robotic optical ground stations.

 

These stations, equipped with calibrated sensors and secure data pipelines, enable near real-time detection and tracking of objects in space, supporting rapid situational awareness following major events such as satellite breakups or orbit shifts.

Key Applications

  • Space Situational Awareness (SSA):  Immediate post-event tracking and catalog updates
  • Operational Support: Taskable data acquisition for missions, operators and researchers
  • Commercial Space Services: Platform for real-time monitoring as a service

  • Research & Development: Access to high-precision, calibrated data for object tracking experiments

What We Deliver

  • Mobile observatory units capable of autonomous deployment
  • Integrated software backend for tasking, control, and data processing
  • Machine-to-machine interface (API) for observation requests and data retrieval
  • Rapid response time: delivery of astrometric data within <15 minutes after acquisition
  • Encrypted, authenticated data access

Availability 

The CONST system is currently in the beta operational phase. Demonstrations with ESA users are ongoing. Estimated lead time for initial service deployment: → 4–6 months from agreement, depending on site and interface integration.
