Ecosmic

What Ecosmic does

Ecosmic s.r.l. is an Italian space technology company headquartered in Turin that develops software for satellite collision avoidance and space domain awareness. Its flagship product, SAFE, is a cloud-native, API-based platform that ingests ephemerides and Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs) from sources including Space-Track, the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking (EU SST) framework, and commercial sensor providers, fusing them with proprietary physics-based algorithms to deliver collision risk estimation, orbit determination, anomaly detection, and collision avoidance manoeuvre optimisation. The technology is patent-pending, built on a Python/FastAPI backend with C++/Rust performance components, and deployed on AWS serverless infrastructure (Fargate, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3) with Terraform-managed infrastructure-as-code. The company claims 70% fewer false collision alerts than free solutions, 100% detection of real trackable threats, up to 24 hours of additional lead time on alerts, and processing of more than 300,000 conjunctions and 4 million objects screened monthly across 60-67 supported satellites.

Ecosmic monetises SAFE primarily through enterprise subscription contracts with commercial and institutional satellite operators, complemented by a free trial program for evaluation. Revenue is supplemented by defence and government engagements, most notably a 12-month service contract with the European Space Agency's Space Debris Office at ESOC, a six-month proof of concept with Telespazio, and the development of a second product, Valkyr, under the NATO DIANA Accelerator Programme for resilient space operations. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Calendly-based expert consultations) with API-driven self-service onboarding, and the company pursues institutional validation through multiple European and transatlantic programmes including ESA BIC Turin, CASSINI, Creative Destruction Lab, Seraphim Space, and the Dutch Research Council.

The company is venture-backed, having raised a €1.1 million pre-seed round from Primo Capital through Primo Space Fund in April 2024, and operates with approximately 12 staff composed of space engineers and software developers. Customer relationships disclosed include the European Space Agency, ISISpace, and unnamed satellite operators across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. Ecosmic self-attests compliance with ISO 24113:2023, ESA Space Debris Mitigation Requirements, CNES French Space Operations Act, and IADC recommendations, positioning SAFE as a certifiable platform for institutional and defence procurement pathways.

Core offering

Ecosmic builds cloud-native, API-based Space Domain Awareness (SDA) software for satellite operators. Its flagship product SAFE provides collision risk estimation, orbit determination, anomaly detection, and collision avoidance manoeuvre optimisation by fusing institutional catalogues (Space-Track, EU SST) with commercial ground-based sensors and space-based data (star trackers, onboard cameras) using proprietary physics-based algorithms. The company also offers Valkyr, a defence-focused 360° operating system for space security covering threat detection, characterisation, and response planning.

Product overview

Ecosmic offers a suite of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) software products centred on two core offerings: SAFE and Valkyr. SAFE is the primary commercial product — a cloud-native, API-driven collision risk management platform that combines real-time data ingestion from multiple providers (Space-Track, EU SST, and commercial sensors) with proprietary physics-based algorithms to deliver collision risk estimation, orbit determination, anomaly detection, and collision avoidance manoeuvre optimisation. SAFE is deployed globally for commercial satellite operators. Valkyr is a separate defence-oriented 360° operating system for space security, developed for NATO's DIANA Accelerator Programme, covering threat detection, characterisation, and response planning. An Orbit Determination Tool is available as an in-development module within the SAFE ecosystem.
