About SpaceSight™ by Scout
SpaceSight by Scout is an interactive tool designed to enhance the ability of satellite operators to visualize imaging opportunities between spacecraft for inspection, orbit determination, or mission planning. The tool provides users the ability to specify a real or planned inspector and target, including key camera parameters. Based on the characteristics of their respective orbits at the time of conjunction, the SpaceSight tool can render synthetic images to help operators understand the imaging environment. This capability facilitates mission planning by helping operators understand visibility of the target during a planned inspection to ensure the inspection is successful.

About Space Application Marketplace (SAM) by Saber
The Space Application Marketplace (SAM) is funded by the US Space Force and built upon the robust foundation of the Space Cockpit battle management software (spacecockpit.space), which is utilized by thousands of operators in the USSF and allied systems. Space Cockpit received its Continuous Authority to Operate (CATO) in 2019, enabling broad distribution across the DoD. Leveraging Space Cockpit allows SAM members to significantly reduce deployment waiting periods from years to just a few months, addressing many challenges associated with deployment to the US DoD.

The collaboration between Scout and Saber underscores a shared commitment to advancing space technology and enhancing capabilities for space situational awareness and security.
