ConsenSys Space Announces TruSat Project, developed alongside SWF, University of Texas at Austin, and the Society of Women in Space Exploration

Wednesday, October 23, 2019

In a step toward transparency, predictability, and accountability in orbit, ConsenSys Space introduced TruSat as a platform-led initiative with its partners, the Secure World Foundation, Professor Moriba Jah of the University of Texas at Austin, and the Society of Women in Space Exploration (SWISE). TruSat is an experimental open source, open-sensor system for creating a globally-accessible, trusted record of satellite orbital positions. TruSat is primarily designed to enable the assessment of satellite operations in the context of space sustainability standards, but may well illuminate new solutions to broader space traffic management challenges.

TruSat will offer software to allow individuals, such as satellite tracking hobbyists, to report satellite positions. The project will make orbital information on those objects, derived from that tracking data, freely available to users, in particular researchers studying space sustainability.
