HORUS GEO

HORUS GEO is a module within the HORUS system, developed for monitoring, analyzing, and understanding orbital dynamics in the geostationary (GEO) regime. Its primary purpose is to provide advanced support for orbital neighborhood analysis, enabling the identification of dynamic behaviors, persistent proximity events, and potential risks among objects within the GEO belt.

The system integrates analytical and visualization capabilities to support operators in assessing orbital trends, identifying objects undergoing longitudinal drift, and understanding long-term interactions between satellites. By consolidating orbital data and temporal analysis tools, HORUS GEO provides a comprehensive and continuous view of the GEO environment.

Target Audience

Government organizations interested in protecting their airspace, as well as entities requiring tools for assessing the risks associated with the reentry of objects into Earth's atmosphere.

Features

The HORUS REENTRY system can be hosted in the cloud or physically within SAIPHER and receives data from various systems that can populate its database. It can be supplied with data from SAIPHER's own sensors or from partner entities and companies. The system utilizes Two-Line Elements (TLE) data to generate predictions of the time and location of reentry, which are then displayed to the user. If more precise information is required, the user can perform tracking using HORUS TRACKING.
