What Neuraspace does

Neuraspace is a Portuguese space-technology company founded in 2020 that builds an AI/ML-powered space traffic management (STM) platform for satellite collision avoidance. The product fuses multi-source data—Conjunction Data Messages (CDMs), ephemeris files, space-weather feeds, GNSS inputs and proprietary optical telescope observations from sites in Chile and at Beja Air Base in Portugal—into a unified data warehouse and applies proprietary machine learning models to automate conjunction screening (delivering results in under one hour versus Space-Track's eight hours), risk classification, manoeuvre optimisation, and autonomous threat detection. Its product architecture is modular: a free SYNC entry tier, an annual PRO subscription tier with a dedicated account manager, and add-on modules covering Launch & Early Operations (LEOP) support, Data & Tracking via the proprietary telescopes, Launch Screening, Mission Design (including a 3D satellite simulator), and a separate NeuraspaceDEF sub-brand for defence and civil-protection use cases, with native integrations to Space-Track, SpaceX Space Traffic Coordination, and Microsoft Teams/Slack.

Neuraspace monetises through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (PRO tier with annual billing), usage-based data and tracking services, per-launch screening fees, and project-based mission-design professional services. Its go-to-market is a sales-led, demo-first enterprise motion combined with a freemium onboarding funnel on SYNC, and it distributes globally with particular emphasis on defence and governmental buyers via NATO DIANA, the European Defence Fund EMISSARY project (for which it is Portugal's national coordinator), and direct partnerships with entities such as the Portuguese Air Force. Customer evidence is currently thin in the public record—three named logos (Sidus Space, U-Space, and the Portuguese Air Force) across satellite services, satellite manufacturing and defence—and the company has raised €2.5 million in seed funding from Armilar Venture Partners (March 2022) and €100,000 from NATO DIANA (December 2025), with a board that includes former ESA Director General Jan Wörner, OHB CEO Marco Fuchs, Feedzai CEO Nuno Sebastião and Armilar CEO Joaquim Servulo.

Core offering

Neuraspace develops an AI/ML-powered Space Traffic Management (STM) platform that automates conjunction screening, collision risk prediction, and maneuver optimization for satellite operators. The platform integrates multi-source data (CDMs, ephemeris files, space weather) and combines it with proprietary optical telescope observations to deliver automated collision avoidance, mission design, launch screening, and defense-focused space domain awareness capabilities.

Product overview

Neuraspace offers a modular space traffic management platform architecture centered on its STM & Ops core system, with specialized add-on modules addressing specific mission phases (LEOP, Launch Screening, Mission Design) and operational needs (Data & Tracking). The platform tiers include SYNC (free entry-level) and PRO (subscription advanced), while NeuraspaceDEF extends capabilities into the defense sector. The platform delivers AI/ML-powered automation from conjunction screening through maneuver recommendation, designed to scale from small satellite operators to large constellation managers.
