Perihelion

Space situational awareness for the new orbital economy.

Perihelion operates an independent tracking network that catalogues objects in low Earth orbit and issues conjunction warnings to satellite operators. Founded in 2019, the company gives operators, insurers and regulators a shared, vendor-neutral picture of an increasingly crowded sky — so orbit stays navigable as it fills.

Quotes & spokespeople

Orbit is shared infrastructure. Nobody owns the sky, so the data about it has to be neutral and open.
IB Dr. Inês Bourdain Co-founder & CEO
We do not move satellites. We give the people who do a warning early enough to matter.
MH Marek Halloran Co-founder & CTO
A collision in low Earth orbit is everyone’s problem within hours. Prevention is the only sane policy.
