ARCA Dynamics
Rome-based SSA/SST company operating proprietary CubeSats to monitor and track space objects
Founded in 2016 in Rome, ARCA Dynamics develops and operates nanosatellites (CubeSats) to deliver Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), space traffic management, and Earth observation services. The company's proprietary SMART system combines optical and RF sensors with AI-based processing and on-board navigation to detect and track space objects including small debris. ARCA Dynamics has launched its ALPHA CubeSat on the Vega-C maiden flight, was selected as a space-based SSA sensor provider within the EU SST network, and conducted service evaluation work supported by ESA under its Space Safety Programme. The company raised approximately $1.27M in a seed round in October 2023, with investors including CDP Venture Capital, Galaxia, and Vento.
