About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to LeoLabs Ltd for a trial of commercially operated radar facilities to provide Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sensor data to the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC).

The contract, valued at AUD 708,333.33, was procured via a mini competition under the CCS RM6235 Space Enabling & Geospatial Services DPS.

The trial aims to assess how radar data can complement optical tracking data, address a capability gap in the LEO regime, and determine the benefits of a sovereign Space Domain Awareness radar asset.

Objectives include accessing SDA data over multiple months, assessing data against the existing catalogue for discrepancies, and evaluating the need for a long-term SDA radar capability.
