Ibadan, 6 May 2026. – Simera Sense has launched SSA Scape100 Full Motion, a next-generation imaging system designed to enable real-time space situational awareness and in-orbit security operations. Aligning with Europe’s growing emphasis on space security, resilience, and safeguarding critical space assets, the launch is at the heart of Simera Sense’s strategic investment in Europe.
Designed and manufactured in Toulouse by the company’s French subsidiary, SSA Scape100 Full Motion builds on Simera Sense’s space-proven flagship xScape100 optical camera. The xScape100 is operating in more than 35 payloads currently in orbit and has accumulated over 840,000 operational hours in space.
On the other hand, the new product combines high sensitivity and 360° field of view with a low size, weight and power (SWaP) consumption and low data throughput, making it ideal as an autonomous hosted payload on any satellite constellation. Furthermore, the product’s primary mission is to detect, track and catalogue Resident Space Objects (RSO), contributing directly to the safety and security of space operations.
“NATO and Europe are calling for resilience and autonomy in space infrastructure,” explained Kammy Brun, Managing Director, Simera Sense France. “Across Europe, demand is growing for SSA, however, there is still a gap where we do not yet have operational space-based SSA solutions, and SSA Scape100 Full Motion is a response to that. Space operators need responsive, reliable systems that can help them understand what is happening in orbit and act with confidence. That’s what we’re delivering.”
The product launch is a major step forward for Simera Sense as the company transitions from design and R&D into full-scale manufacturing. One year after establishing its presence in Toulouse, the Belgium-headquartered company is expanding its European footprint, as well as manufacturing and production capabilities, with France playing a central role in the growth strategy, especially around SSA and space security.
As a “Made-in-Europe” solution, SSA Scape 100 Full Motion thereby underscores Simera Sense’s dedication to strengthening the European defense and security ecosystem with high-performance, mission-ready space technologies.
