About MAITY Space
MAITY Space GmbH is a German startup founded in 2024 and headquartered in Darmstadt. Specializing in space safety and orbital sustainability, the company provides an automated and flight-proven (TRL-9) collision avoidance software service, MAITY Argus, which supports all major data providers, including SpaceTrack, EUSST, LeoLabs, and Starlink – and many more to come. The core technology is based on the European Space Agency's (ESA) colafw framework, originally developed by MAITY's CTO and co-founder, Quirin Funke. MAITY Space serves as the prime contractor for the ESA-funded COLA-Large project to further develop the cutting-edge operational toolchain to handle the challenges of the New Space era. MAITY's expertise also extends to a comprehensive portfolio of Space Situational Awareness services. The team members bring over a decade of operational experience, supporting over dozen ESA flagship missions (e.g. Biomass, EarthCARE). MAITY can support missions across all major orbit regions, LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO and covering the full satellite life cycle from mission planning, over LEOP, commissioning, routine operations and re-entry.
MAITY's Mission & Vision
MAITY's vision of space safety in the upcoming decades and beyond is based on actively supporting safe and autonomous space traffic to manage increasingly dense orbital activity. We support the development of solutions that drive collaborative global communication between all participants in space. We encourage and support universal and open technical standards to ensure seamless data exchange and operational transparency. We support the development of regulations that shall enforce a sustainable environment in space and on Earth. We have a vision in which active debris removal missions led by agencies and commercial operators will ensure that beyond ESA's zero-debris goals, existing debris follows a decreasing trend. Together, these advancements will ensure that the orbital commons remain preserved so that our children can proceed, building upon our achievements to explore the limitless possibilities and beauty of space.
