LeoLabs opens up Satellite-tracking startup finally out from under the radar

摘要

With $4 million in the bank and two radars tracking satellites and debris in low Earth orbit, Silicon Valley startup Leo-Labs is now open for business. LeoLabs began operating a phased-array radar in Midland, Texas, in February. With data from the new Midland facility and a radar near Fairbanks, Alaska, LeoLabs can track 94 percent of all objects 10 centimeters or larger in low Earth orbit, Dan Ceperley, LeoLabs founder and chief executive, told SpaceNews.
