On November 4, Raytheon UK<\/a>, part of RTX\u2019s Raytheon business, announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide orbital analysts in support of the UK\u2019s Space Domain Awareness mission.<\/p>\n

Under the contract, the UK Space Agency will gain access to Raytheon UK\u2019s NORSSTrack software, which enhances orbital analysis and operational responsiveness by mapping and tracking satellites, monitoring potential collisions and debris, assessing re-entries and providing critical data for decision-making.<\/p>\n

The analysts will be based at a National Space Operations Centre facility at Royal Air Force Base High Wycombe, delivering an analysis and response capability that underpins the UK\u2019s growing leadership in space operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur orbital analysts are among the most capable in the industry,\u201d said James Gray, chief executive and managing director of Raytheon UK. \u201cWe\u2019ve invested heavily in developing this talent, particularly in the North-East, as part of our continued support of space domain awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Space domain awareness remains a vital national capability, ensuring the UK can operate safely, securely and confidently in an increasingly contested space environment. As highlighted in the UK\u2019s Strategic Defence Review, it is central to protecting critical space assets and strengthening resilience across government, defence and industry.<\/p>\n
