GMV strengthens its commitment with COVE and the Spanish Space Command during the international exercise Global Sentinel 2025

GMV has once again provided technical support to the Space Surveillance and Operations Center (COVE) of the Spanish Space Command (MESPA), part of the Spanish Air and Space Force (EA), during the Real-World Event (RWE) held from August 3 to 7 as part of the Global Sentinel international military initiative. For the first time, the event was coordinated and led internationally by COVE and was focused on the operational tracking of the Spanish satellite Spainsat NG1 and its relocation maneuvers toward its final geostationary orbit. The scenario involved international cooperation in space defense, with contributions from the space commands of France, Italy, Japan, Romania, and Ukraine.

Over the course of the five-day event, GMV experts were physically present at the COVE facility, working closely with military personnel on key tasks such as orbit determination, collision risk analysis, and orbital environment assessment. This real-world participation enabled the validation of operational capabilities in a live scenario, enhancing both joint readiness and international collaboration in the field of Space Domain Awareness (SDA).
