Then, now, next.

Fewer than a hundred launches a year, through 2017. Now more than three hundred.

How many orbital launches a year?

2025: 329 orbital launch attempts, a record. 321 reached orbit.

The CRASH Clock.

The expected time to a collision between tracked objects in low orbit, if every satellite stopped manoeuvring. It ignores objects too small to track.

How long until a collision, if every satellite stopped manoeuvring?

15 Aug 2026: 2.2 days. 1 Jan 2018: 164 days.

What one collision does.

The collision lab needs JavaScript. With it on, you pick a collision, set the altitude, and see which satellites it reaches.

The rules are arriving.

United Kingdom
Tiered liability for new licences: £50m, £20m or £0, set by security and sustainability evidence (collision-avoidance conduct is not yet a criterion).
UK government response, updated 8 Sep 2026. Licence applications received after 1 Dec 2026.

European Union
The proposed EU Space Act makes collision avoidance and end-of-life disposal plans binding.
European Commission proposal COM(2025) 335, June 2025. In negotiation; proposed to apply from 1 January 2030.

What we solve, and why now.

Orbit is getting crowded. Regulators now ask operators to show how they manage collision risk. Nobody holds a neutral record of what each satellite actually did. Orbiture does, from public data.

RegulatorWhat did each licensed satellite actually do, and on which date?
OperatorCan you show someone who was not there what your satellite did, and when?
ManufacturerHow long did each unit take to reach its working orbit, and what happened after?
LenderIs the satellite you financed behaving the way its owner says?
