HORUS DOMINUS

HORUS DOMINUS is a module dedicated to the command, management, and processing of sensor data for Space Situational Awareness. The system enables the coordination of sensors, management of tracking requests, execution of space surveillance operations, and processing of collected data to support the identification, tracking, and analysis of objects in orbit.

DOMINUS was developed to centralize, within a single operational environment, site and sensor configuration, operational calibration, data acquisition, astrometric and photometric processing, generation of standardized tracking products, and access to operational history.

Integrated into the HORUS ecosystem, the module enhances space monitoring capabilities, reduces reliance on manual processes, and provides structured information to support decision-making in defense, national sovereignty, and orbital surveillance activities.

Target Market

HORUS DOMINUS is designed for organizations, institutions, and professionals involved in space operations, defense, national sovereignty, and orbital object monitoring activities, including:

Features

Government agencies and institutions responsible for aerospace defense, protection of space assets, and national sovereignty;
Space operations centers, orbital surveillance centers, and command and control structures;
Teams responsible for the command, management, and operation of sensors;
Operators involved in tracking campaigns, monitoring, and analysis of space objects;
Research institutions, universities, and organizations involved in Space Situational Awareness;
Organizations that need to detect, track, catalog, and analyze satellites, space debris, uncataloged objects, objects of interest, or orbital events.

Key Functions

HORUS DOMINUS provides the following capabilities:

Command, management, and coordination of sensors in space surveillance operations;
Registration and configuration of sites, sensors, and operational parameters;
Operational calibration of sensors and associated systems;
Creation, management, and execution of tracking requests;
Acquisition, organization, storage, and processing of sensor data;
Space surveillance for continuous or scheduled monitoring of regions, objects, and orbital events of interest;
Detection, tracking, and cataloging of new space objects;
Identification and analysis of cataloged and uncataloged objects;
Support for prioritizing objects of interest for tracking and analysis;
Astrometric processing for position determination and orbital data refinement;
Photometric processing for the analysis of light signatures and the observational behavior of objects;
Generation and availability of standardized tracking products, such as operational technical messages and files;
Visualization of results, processed data, operational history, images, and analysis products;
Support for Tip and Cue operations, integrating surveillance sensors and higher-precision sensors within a coordinated operational workflow.

Tip and Cue

HORUS DOMINUS supports Tip and Cue operations, in which sensors dedicated to space surveillance can detect objects, events, or regions of interest and cue higher-precision sensors for tracking, confirmation, or data refinement. This workflow enables the system to perform an initial detection or alert stage, followed by targeted tracking, increasing operational efficiency and improving the quality of the information obtained.

In a Tip and Cue operation, the module can support the detection of uncataloged objects, confirmation of previously identified objects, target prioritization, generation of new tracking requests, and production of more precise data for orbital analysis. This capability is particularly relevant to space surveillance missions, cataloging of new objects, monitoring of orbital events, protection of space assets, and decision support in defense and national sovereignty contexts.

Differentiators

During Space Situational Awareness operations, different sensors, teams, procedures, requests, data, and results must be coordinated accurately and traceably. In many cases, these activities are conducted using isolated tools, spreadsheets, standalone scripts, or poorly integrated in-house solutions, which can result in rework, data loss, auditing difficulties, and reduced operational efficiency.

HORUS DOMINUS was developed to reduce this fragmentation by providing a unified environment for sensor command, operations management, data processing, and analysis of space surveillance results.

System Optimized for Space Surveillance

HORUS DOMINUS was specifically designed to meet the requirements of tracking, monitoring, cataloging, and analysis of space objects. Its functionalities were structured to handle sensors, observational data, orbital objects, astrometric data, photometric data, and standardized tracking products, providing a solution suited to Space Situational Awareness requirements.

Sensor Command and Management

The module enables the command, configuration, and management of sensors involved in space operations, centralizing preparation, calibration, tracking execution, operational monitoring, and control of collected data within a single platform.

Sensor Data Processing

HORUS DOMINUS processes data acquired by sensors, transforming raw information into operational products for tracking, analysis, cataloging, space surveillance, and decision support.

Object Cataloging and Monitoring

The system supports the detection, analysis, and cataloging of space objects, including known objects, uncataloged objects, and orbital events of interest, contributing to enhanced situational awareness and the protection of space assets.

Operational Integration

The module enables the integration of sensors, databases, processing tools, and workflows within a single environment. This allows users to configure operations, submit tracking requests, monitor acquisitions, visualize results, and access operational history without relying on multiple disconnected tools.

Traceability and Standardization

HORUS DOMINUS organizes operational data, records, results, and tracking products in a structured manner, contributing to the traceability of activities and the standardization of information generated during space operations.

Support for Defense and National Sovereignty

By consolidating information on space objects, sensors, observation conditions, processed data, and technical results, HORUS DOMINUS provides operators with an integrated view of the space environment, supporting strategic and operational decisions related to defense, national sovereignty, and the security of space assets.
