Neuraspace

Following the February 2026 anomaly on ESA’s Proba‑3 Coronagraph Spacecraft, Neuraspace has been providing astrometry and photometry data to support ESA’s recovery efforts.

Below are a few images captured by our Beja between telescope 20:35 and 20:38 UTC on March 9 showing Proba‑3 Coronagraph and Occulter flying in formation.

Our twin optical telescopes deliver observations from LEO to GEO and beyond, enabling precise orbit determination, and supporting attitude reconstruction and satellite recovery. Operating on a highly eccentric orbit, Proba‑3 presents significant challenges for tracking and state estimation. Using a fast optical setup with exposures down to a few tens of milliseconds, we not only achieve arcsecond‑level astrometric accuracy, even near the perigee, but also detect brightness variations that reveal the spacecraft’s spin and orientation dynamics.

This collaboration highlights Neuraspace’s technology for autonomous, space situational awareness and anomaly response in complex orbital environment.
