In Transit 2nd Call for Proposals
ATLAR Innovation is part of the In Transit 2nd Call for Proposals!
Our project INOSCOPE has been selected for funding, alongside other great initiatives.
In recent years, the number of space launches has increased exponentially, leading to a surge in objects orbiting Earth. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is becoming increasingly crowded, especially with the planned deployment of mega-constellations. Monitoring resident space objects (RSOs) is critical to avoid collisions between satellites and space debris.
INOSCOPE will address this challenge with a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy optical telescope system. Using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and proprietary image processing software, the system will track and analyze LEO objects with tailor-made surveillance strategies.
In Transit is an EU-funded project that supports SMEs in aerospace, textile, advanced manufacturing, and construction, helping in their transition toward greener and more digital solutions. It provides funding, coaching and advisory services to boost innovation and sustainability across these industries.This gathering elevates the collective commitment to advancing innovation, fostering partnerships, and enhancing Portugal’s presence in the global space industry.
Atlar Innovation Advances Portugal’s Space Collaboration
Atlar Innovation recently hosted the Portuguese Space Agency, bringing together key players in Portugal’s space sector, such as FCUP and Critical Software. The meeting provided an opportunity for these organizations to share their strategies and explore ways to strengthen collaboration.
This gathering elevates the collective commitment to advancing innovation, fostering partnerships, and enhancing Portugal’s presence in the global space industry.
