Digantara is developing MOSAIC to autonomously track 400-500 objects nightly
Digantara, an Indian startup, is developing MOSAIC, an AI-driven system that scans the sky on its own, spotting satellites, space junk, and stars with reduced human help.
It can typically collect data on around 400 to 500 unique objects during a night.
MOSAIC supports Netra and global monitoring
MOSAIC gives India a big boost in keeping tabs on what's happening in orbit, working alongside the Netra program.
Digantara is setting up observation points not just in India but also in Namibia, Chile, and New Mexico (and another deployment planned in Hawaii) to cover more of the globe.
By tracking satellites and predicting orbits, MOSAIC helps prevent collisions and keeps essential services like navigation and communications safe.
Plus, its autonomous design, along with onboard computing and communications capability, allows it to function without continuous human intervention and could support data-sharing with like-minded partners.
