The Netherlands Space Operations Center will integrate the Ecosstm software to optimize space catalog management, in-orbit event detection, and collision avoidance operations.

The Netherlands Space Operations Centre, a branch of the Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force, will incorporate GMV technology to strengthen its Space Domain Awareness systems. Specifically, the center will integrate Ecosstm software, GMV's advanced solution for Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) control centers, Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and Space Traffic Management (STM), into its operational architecture. Among other functionalities, it will provide space object catalog maintenance, overflight events detection, re-entry monitoring, and collision avoidance management.

Ecosstm covers the entire operational chain, from sensor planning and allocation to the provision of advanced services to end users, including the generation and maintenance of a space objects catalog.

The technology that the Netherlands Space Operations Center will now adopt is already operating in other demanding environments. These include the German military Space Domain Awareness Center (Weltraumlagezentrum), the Spanish military Space Operations and Surveillance Center (COVE), the civilian space surveillance systems of several countries, such as Romania and Greece, GMV's commercial space surveillance operations center, Focusoc, and the new Space Safety Portal of the Space Data Association. This track record validates the maturity and reliability of the solution.
