SCOT Mission:

The Prime Minister recently lauded the Indian space startup Digantara at the success of Mission SCOT.

  • SCOT (Space Camera for Object Tracking) is Digantara’s (an Indian space startup)inaugural mission dedicated to space surveillance.
  • It is one of the world’s first commercial Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellites.
  • It was launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-12 mission.
  • SCOT is built to track Resident Space Objects (RSOs).
  • SCOT will be deployed in a sun-synchronous orbit, allowing it to track objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with more efficiency than existing sensors, which are restricted by fields of view (FoV), weather conditions, and geographic limitations.
  • Unlike these traditional systems, SCOT will ensure surveillance of objects as small as 5 cm orbiting the Earth to ensure safer space operations.
  • Backed by Aditya Birla Ventures and SIDBI, it aims to support national security and space operations.
