Core Viewpoint - The launch of the "Star Eye" space perception constellation plan by Xingtou Measurement and Control aims to address the challenges of space traffic management and create a new model for space management services [2][3]. Group 1: Space Traffic Management - The "Star Eye" constellation will provide comprehensive data services and support for commercial satellite operators, government, and research institutions throughout the satellite lifecycle, significantly enhancing the reliability and success rate of on-orbit missions [2][3]. - The constellation consists of 156 satellites designed to create a global, responsive monitoring network for near-Earth orbits, utilizing Xingtou Measurement and Control's self-developed "Observer" space information analysis platform [3][4]. Group 2: Collision Risk Mitigation - The "Star Eye" system will monitor satellites and space debris, analyze satellite orbital data, and predict collision risks, thereby providing precise and efficient space traffic management data services [3][6]. - The European Space Agency (ESA) reports over 50,000 pieces of space debris larger than 10 centimeters and approximately 1.2 million pieces between 1 and 10 centimeters, highlighting the urgent need for collision risk reduction [6][7]. Group 3: Future Developments and Opportunities - The first phase of the "Star Eye" project plans to launch a test satellite in the first half of 2026, with an initial backbone constellation of 12 high-performance satellites [3][4]. - The second phase aims to establish a low-cost enhancement constellation of 144 satellites, focusing on rapid cataloging and tracking of maneuvering and newly launched targets [4]. - The National Space Administration's action plan emphasizes the need for space debris monitoring and collision warning systems, indicating a growing demand for space perception services [7][8].
