What Vyoma GmbH does

Vyoma GmbH is a Munich-based space technology company founded in August 2020 that provides space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA) services for commercial satellite operators, defense and intelligence agencies, space agencies, and reinsurers. The company's core offering is a vertically integrated platform combining a planned 12-satellite space-based optical surveillance constellation ("Flamingo") with a ground-based sensor network, on-board and ground-based machine-learning image processing, and a multi-layer SaaS suite for collision avoidance, flight dynamics, mission planning, and satellite operations automation. The constellation's first satellite (Flamingo-1) launched in January 2026 and was successfully commissioned in June 2026; Flamingo-2 is in production for Q4 2026 launch on the Aerospacelab VSP-50 platform, and Flamingos 3–12 are scheduled for deployment through 2029. Once fully operational, the constellation is designed to deliver sub-1-hour revisit times for all LEO targets and detection of centimeter-sized objects.

Vyoma monetizes through subscription-based SaaS (satellite safety, flight dynamics, and mission planning), data-as-a-service for SST/SDA, and institutional contracts with ESA, the European Defence Fund, and other European public-sector programs. Two patents were granted by the German Patent and Trademark Office (DPMA) in December 2024 and April 2025 covering a proprietary space-based optical sensor orientation system with active steering and onboard image pre-processing. The company distributes through a hybrid model combining direct enterprise/government field sales (with tendering to defense space commands, operators, reinsurers, and space agencies) and a self-service SaaS platform at platform.vyoma.space for commercial operators. Named institutional customers and partners include the European Space Agency (multiple contracts including HydRON Element 3 consortium membership), German Aerospace Center (DLR), the European Defence Fund (EMISSARY and STAALION projects with Leonardo and Nurjana Technologies), German Bundeswehr Space Command (talks), Aerospacelab, EnduroSat, Kepler Communications, Atos, Safran Corporate Ventures, and Rocket Factory Augsburg.

Revenue model

1. Space Surveillance & Tracking Data-as-a-Service: Subscription-based access to proprietary SST data generated from Vyoma's satellite constellation and ground sensor network. Customers can schedule surveillance and tracking campaigns to obtain guaranteed observation latency, monitor maneuvering satellites, and detect unknown objects.
2. Space Domain Awareness Software-as-a-Service: SaaS platform providing real-time SDA capabilities including detection of maneuvers, pattern-of-life analysis, proximity alerts, and object characterization. Enables operators to process SST data for critical event detection.
3. Satellite Safety SaaS: Software-as-a-service for commercial operators providing collision warnings, flight dynamics optimization, and mission planning to ensure satellite safety in congested orbits.
4. Satellite Operations SaaS: End-to-end satellite operations services ranging from detection of close approaches between satellites and debris to full automation of maneuver planning and execution.
5. ESA Data Procurement Contracts: Contracts with ESA for provision of space-based observational data on small space debris for validation and improvement of ESA's MASTER model for statistical space debris environment assessment.
6. European Defence Fund Projects: Funded development projects (EMISSARY and STAALION) through EDF for augmenting European Space Domain Awareness capabilities, with Vyoma receiving over 2 million Euro across two contracts.

Core offering

Vyoma provides real-time Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) data and software services built on its planned 12-satellite space-based optical surveillance Flamingo constellation and a global ground-based sensor network. Its commercial offering combines a Subscription SaaS platform for satellite operators (collision avoidance, flight dynamics, mission planning) with data-as-a-service and intelligence software-as-a-service for European defense and space agency customers. The company's stack includes on-board ML image processing, an independent orbital catalogue, and patented sensor orientation and image pre-processing systems that enable detection of centimeter-sized objects in LEO.

Product overview

Vyoma operates a vertically integrated Space Domain Awareness (SDA) platform combining space-based and ground-based sensors for real-time space traffic management and satellite operations automation. The core infrastructure is the Flamingo constellation—12 planned microsatellites with optical telescopes (Flamingo-1 launched January 2026, Flamingo-2 in production for Q4 2026 launch, Flamingos 3-12 in design phase for 2027-2029 deployment). The SaaS layer sits above this infrastructure, comprising Space Traffic Management services (Collision Avoidance SaaS, Flight Dynamics and Mission Planning), Space Domain Awareness software, Space Surveillance & Tracking data-as-a-service, and the Vyoma Catalogue for space object cataloguing. For defense customers, Vyoma offers Space Domain Awareness and Space-Based Surveillance system services. The company also provides hosted SSA payloads for third-party satellites under ESA's HydRON Element 3 programme. Data processing capabilities include on-edge satellite image processing and ground-based astrometric reduction producing subpixel-accuracy Tracking Data Messages.
