OKAPI:Orbits is a German space technology company founded in 2018 as a spin-off from TU Braunschweig. It provides Space Traffic Management (STM) and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) solutions designed to protect space assets through AI-powered monitoring and collision-avoidance software. The company serves more than 150 active satellites worldwide and monitors over 33,000 tracked objects in orbit, delivering more than 12 million collision warnings annually.
The company's core offering is a comprehensive software suite that enables satellite operators to predict collision risks, manage avoidance manoeuvres, and optimise space operations across the entire mission lifecycle - from pre-launch through end-of-life. Its platform combines astrodynamics expertise with machine learning to detect and warn of potential collisions among an increasingly crowded orbital environment.
OKAPI:Orbits has raised €13 million in seed funding from investors including Amadeus Capital, Munich Re Ventures, and Dolby Family Ventures. The company positions itself as Europe's leading provider of collision avoidance technology, serving commercial satellite operators, space agencies, and participants in the NewSpace ecosystem.
