The launch of the first satellite into space marked the beginning of the first serious efforts in the field of Space Situational Awareness (SSA).
Over the last decades, SSA methods and techniques have continued to evolve with technological progress.
Today, the “New Space” revolution in orbit is radically changing not only space, but also the way space surveillance must be conducted in the future.
This is our mission: s2a systems brings the “New Space” to the ground.

s2a systems offers a wide range of optical observation services, from LEO to cis lunar.
Our Astrometry service determines the positions of space objects, providing essential data for flight dynamics teams to calculate orbital parameters.
Object surveillance focuses on monitoring the status and behavior of individual Resident Space Objects (RSOs).
Space monitoring entails regularly observing the vicinity of objects and identifying the presence of other nearby objects.
s2a systems supports research institutions in the development, testing, and refinement of new technologies by contributing its expertise and experience in the design, development, and operation of SSA technologies.
The company undertakes research projects for clients, builds demonstrators and prototypes, and conducts sensor and process testing.
Additionally, at its sites, s2a systems provides space for client sensors and instruments, ensuring their proper monitoring and support.
s2a systems develops, builds, and operates optical remote ground stations.
Its services encompass the analysis of requirements, concept development, setup planning, procurement of the necessary hardware and software, construction of the observation station, and subsequent operation.
Additionally, the company is prepared to take over the operation of existing SSA ground stations owned by clients and integrate these stations into combined network operations.
s2a systems is a Swiss SSA/SDA company, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Jura, Switzerland.
The company develops and operates advanced systems for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA), contributing to the security of the space environment and supporting its long-term sustainability.
s2a systems provides operational services to governmental institutions, and civilian companies, ensuring reliable and efficient service delivery. Serving as a partner for industry and academic institutions, extensive support is provided for research projects, including expertise, infrastructure and collaboration opportunities.
Achieving comprehensive situational awareness in space today is no longer reliant on a few large, expensive observatories. Instead, it demands a vast global network of cost-effective sensors.
To achieve this, s2a systems delivers high-quality services while reducing capital and operating costs for customers by integrating off-the-shelf components with cutting-edge technological solutions.
To develop high-class solutions, we cooperate with a broad network of research organizations and professional industrial partners.
