Description

NORSSTrack is a critical software service for the National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) which has been developed specifically to meet NSpOC's orbital analysis needs. This contract provides for a licence to enable ongoing access to a fully deployed NORSSTrack product which is required to enable UKSA to meet its Space Surveillance and Tracking obligations. No other supplier can provide the service as the Intellectual Property is owned by the developer, Raytheon Systems Ltd. There are no comparable software products available on the market as this was developed as a bespoke product to meet UKSA's SST needs.
