Since August 2025, Swarm A has been among the satellites observed by ARCA Dynamics as part of a service evaluation supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) under its Space Safety Programme (S2P). Launched on November 22, 2013, ESA’s Swarm mission has quietly revolutionized our understanding of Earth’s magnetic field. Over the past eleven years, …

Why the Future of Orbital Safety Demands Smarter Eyes on Space Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is getting crowded—fast. Satellites, defunct spacecraft, and debris fragments now number in the tens of thousands, traveling at over 28,000 km/h. Avoiding collisions in this environment is no longer an exception, but a daily task. That’s where Space Surveillance & …

Space is getting crowded. And with that crowding comes risk—particularly the risk of satellite collisions. To mitigate it, operators rely on Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) systems, which issue conjunction alerts when two objects are predicted to pass dangerously close. These alerts are meant to inform Collision Avoidance Maneuvers (CAMs) that protect assets and prevent …

Space is becoming dangerously crowded—and the numbers prove it. Space today is like an invisible highway. Billions of people rely on it every day—whether they realize it or not. From internet access to navigation and climate monitoring, satellites quietly power our world. And yet, the situation above our heads is spiraling out of control. Most …

First we crowded our roads. Then we packed the skies. Now, Earth’s orbit is becoming the next traffic jam. What was once considered an endless expanse above us is now a busy and invisible highway traveled by tens of thousands of satellites. These orbiting technologies are vital for global communications, navigation, weather prediction, and much …

As the space industry evolves rapidly, space security becomes increasingly crucial. Recognizing this imperative, ARCA Dynamics has been working diligently to elevate space security to new heights.
Next 13th at 13:13: save the date, ALPHA is going into outer space. ARCA Dynamics, an Italian new space company providing space traffic management services will launch its ALPHA mission on-board VEGA-C maiden flight and land at approximately 15 times the altitude of the International Space Station (ISS), on the Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). ALPHA …
