SCOT: A New Era in Space Surveillance by Indian Startup Digantara
In an exciting development for space technology, Bengaluru-based startup Digantara has successfully launched its space surveillance satellite, SCOT (Space Situational Awareness Satellite). Commissioned last Saturday, SCOT marks a significant milestone in India’s growing presence in the space sector.
Capturing the World from Above
Launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-12 rocket on January 14, SCOT is engineered to track objects as small as 5cm in Earth’s orbit. This capability is crucial for monitoring space debris and ensuring the safety of satellites and other spacecraft. The satellite has already made headlines by capturing stunning images over South America, including a breathtaking view of Buenos Aires.
Why SCOT Matters
With the increasing number of satellites and space debris in orbit, the need for effective space surveillance has never been more critical. SCOT aims to provide crucial data that can help in collision avoidance and the sustainable use of outer space. By contributing to global efforts in space safety, Digantara is paving the way for future innovations in space technology.
