The mission – also known as the “Internet of Animals” – is a research project by the Max Planck Society to monitor wildlife movements and environmental changes through advanced satellite technology. TALOS leads the mission design, operations and development of the tracking technology, while EnduroSat is providing the satellite platform as well as facilitating ground station access through its network of partners. On the other hand, the Max Planck Society, as the scientific lead, contributes its expertise in animal tracking.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/12/icarus-wildlife-tracking-system-to-resume-operations-after-launching-to-orbit/ Wed, 03 Dec 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=69423 Transporter-15 has launched a satellite equipped with the ICARUS receiver into space, resuming the ICARUS pioneering project to track wildlife from space after a three-year pause, and opening a new chapter in the study of animal observation. Once operational, ICARUS will establish a continuous link with miniature sensors on animals across the globe, enabling scientists to monitor the locations, behavior, health, and environmental conditions of species ranging from migratory birds and bats to sea turtles and large mammals. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/01/space-cafe-radio-with-gregor-langer/ Thu, 16 Jan 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=63442 Join us for an insightful episode where Torsten Kriening sits down with Gregor Langer, Co-Founder of TALOS, to discuss their groundbreaking work in satellite IoT technology. Learn how TALOS is utilizing ultra-compact IoT devices and proprietary satellite communication to track wildlife and livestock, contributing to conservation and sustainability efforts. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/01/talos-to-launch-leo-satellite-fleet-for-advanced-animal-tracking/ Tue, 14 Jan 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=63390 TALOS has signed a 4-year cooperation agreement with the Max Planck Society to launch ICARUS 2.0., a fleet of at least five CubeSats tracking animal movements, providing the Max Planck Society with access to both the technology and the collected data.]]>
