				<p><strong>MONTREAL, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)</strong> – NorthStar Earth &amp; Space (“NorthStar” or the “Company”), a global leader in Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA), today announced the launch of augmented commercial services valued at more than CAD$40 million over 12 months with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 3 Canadian Space Division (3 CSD). The agreement enables 3 CSD to integrate NorthStar’s space-based surveillance capabilities to enhance mission readiness and threat detection in orbit.</p>
<p>The agreement reinforces NorthStar’s long-standing commitment to advancing Canada’s role in the space sector. Headquartered in Montreal, and governed by a majority-Canadian board, NorthStar drives growth through innovation, and sovereign space capabilities. By processing millions of images and observations collected from space- and ground-based sensors, NorthStar delivers precise assessments and predictions of the behaviour of objects in space.</p>
<p>“This collaboration marks a milestone in the use of commercial innovation to protect Canadian interests in space,” said Stewart Bain, founder and CEO of NorthStar. “Integrating NorthStar’s advanced scanning and detection capabilities will strengthen the mission readiness and national security objectives at the core of 3 CSD’s mandate.”</p>
<p>Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy recognizes space as a critical operational domain for national security and economic stability. Satellites underpin communications, navigation, climate monitoring, Earth observation and defence operations, making sovereign, mission-ready SDA capabilities essential. These capabilities play a critical role in safeguarding Canada’s North, where Arctic security and sovereignty are key priorities. NorthStar’s integrated space‑based and ground‑based services provide trusted, Canadian controlled data to support this objective.</p>
<p>RCAF Brig.-Gen Christopher Horner said, “Space Domain Awareness is foundational to all space operations. Our decisional advantage in both peacetime and conflict is built upon our ability to detect and differentiate threats from the responsible actors in space. NorthStar gives the Canadian Armed Forces the higher ground with advanced SDA services.  Cooperation between 3 CSD and Canada’s space industry partners remains a fundamental requirement for security in space.” “Through Canada’s new Defence Industrial Strategy, our government is inspiring new partnerships that will strengthen our defence industry, enhance sovereign capabilities, and bolster national security. NorthStar’s partnership with 3 Canadian Space Division on their sovereign SDA capabilities will advance Canada’s satellite capacity and equip our Armed Forces with mission-ready tools.” said the Hon. Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.</p>
<p>As space becomes an increasingly contested domain, Canada must remain steadfast in maintaining the ability to independently monitor and protect its assets in orbit. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening national capabilities and contributing to the secure and safe use of space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>About NorthStar Earth &amp; Space</strong></p>
<p>NorthStar is the first commercial Space Situational Awareness (SSA) company to leverage space-based assets that use satellite imagery to continuously scan, detect, and monitor the behaviour of objects in near-Earth orbits. Patented capabilities deliver precise and timely Space Domain Awareness (SDA), contributing to Canada’s space sovereignty and supporting National Defence objectives.

<p>Manuel Sanjurjo Rivo, Team Director of Orbital Dynamics at NorthStar, and Associate Professor, Carlos III University of Madrid, attended the Latin American Forum on Critical Space Infrastructure on June 9-10.</p>
<p>The two-day event is part of Satellite Map Day*. This year’s forum focused on regulation, disputes over orbital resources, sustainability, and the challenge of managing space as critical for global infrastructure. It brought industry leaders to discuss multi-orbit markets, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Direct to Device (D2D), Space AI, New Space, sovereignty, and resilience.</p>
<p>NorthStar’s Manuel Rivo joined International Telecommunications Union (ITU) colleagues Jorge Ciccorossi, Almudena Azcarate Ortega of Secure World Foundation and Moderator Paulo Pascuini, Researcher at the Interdisciplinary Institute of Political Economy (IIEP) on a panel discussion, “Space Governance and Sustainability: Security, Monitoring, and International Coordination.”</p>
<p>Here are his reflections. This has been translated from Spanish, which is included below the English.</p>

<div  class="vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_default vc_toggle_color_default  vc_toggle_size_md"><div class="vc_toggle_title"><h4>What is the main obstacle today to making space safe and sustainable?</h4><i class="vc_toggle_icon"></i></div><div class="vc_toggle_content"><p>I believe the bottleneck lies in the willingness of the various stakeholders to agree on making space safe and sustainable. Right now, the focus and effort are centered on monitoring and tracking, both by governments and agencies, as well as by companies like NorthStar, which aim to provide space surveillance as a service. However, in a cooperative context—ideal, if you will—the main technical challenge would lie in how we effectively share data, how we facilitate communication among satellite operators to reach an agreement in the event of a potential collision, and we might perhaps address or invest in other aspects of space sustainability, such as standardizing procedures for removing objects at the end of their useful life, designing new satellites to minimize the risks of explosion or the generation of new debris, or developing technologies for the active removal of space objects that are no longer functional.</p>
<p>Of course, even in this ideal cooperative context, it would still be necessary to conduct oversight to ensure the accuracy of the data provided, or to verify that end-of-life re-entry measures are carried out as declared, and to track or monitor inactive or space debris objects. One possible analogy is that of the air traffic control system, in which commercial aircraft have access to navigation aids and share their positions in real time, but there is an air navigation service provider that collaborates, participates, and verifies that the flight is proceeding correctly. A monitoring system in a cooperative environment, however, similar to air navigation services, would be much less complex than what is required in the current context.</p>
</div></div><div  class="vc_do_toggle vc_toggle vc_toggle_default vc_toggle_color_default  vc_toggle_size_md"><div class="vc_toggle_title"><h4>What is the biggest challenge today in reliably monitoring what happens in orbit?</h4><i class="vc_toggle_icon"></i></div><div class="vc_toggle_content"><p>Perhaps the hardest part is answering the question concisely. In any case, I believe there are essentially three factors complicating the tracking of objects in orbit: &#8211; the increase in the number of objects in orbit, which has already been mentioned during the panel discussion, &#8211; the fact that many of these active objects are maneuverable, and third, that there are many small objects and debris.</p>
<p>The first point—the increase in objects in orbit—is related to the processing capacity of tracking systems and sets out requirements for the sensor networks needed to track them. It is necessary to match the measurements obtained with the object that produced them, and that is much more difficult with 30,000 satellites in orbit than with 10,000, and the outlook is not encouraging in that regard.</p>
<p>Furthermore, and this is where the second factor comes in, active objects are capable of maneuvering, using low-thrust electric propulsion almost continuously, which makes predicting the next measurement to be received from an object more complex and requires computationally more expensive processing methods. Finally, tracking small objects is technically more difficult, and once again, it places demands on sensor networks regarding resolution in the case of optical imagery, or noise considerations in the case of radar, which makes tracking more complex.</p>
<p>It should be noted that the number of CubeSat and nanosat launches has grown in recent years, making this problem more acute. Not only that, but these objects generally lack propulsion—which is positive in some ways—yet they are launched together in shared missions, with several maintaining a similar orbit throughout their entire operational life. Once again, associating observations with the object is a challenge that pushes tracking systems to their limits.</p>

And that, in addition to predicting the trajectory, involves </span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW51718167 BCX0">properly managing</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW51718167 BCX0"> the uncertainty associated with our knowledge of the orbital object’s position and velocity. The fact that objects can maneuver, as we have mentioned, makes answering this question complicated in many cases. Finally, coordinating decisions is also complex because, on many occasions, the information they have is different, so there is no agreement on the analysis of the situation. There is an anecdote in this regard that occurred a few years ago, in 2019, between Aeolus and Starlink. </span></p>
<p><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW51718167 BCX0">This was the first instance in which an operational satellite maneuvered to avoid a collision with a satellite from a mega-constellation. In this case, it became clear that communication is essential, and that having different data can lead to a lack of consensus in analyzing the situation.</span></p>

Ahora mismo, el foco, el esfuerzo se centra en el monitoreo o seguimiento, tanto por parte de los gobiernos y agencias, como por parte de empresas como NorthStar, que quieren proporcionar la vigilancia espacial como servicio. Sin embargo, en un contexto cooperativo, ideal si se quiere, el problema técnico principal residiría en como compartimos los datos de manera efectiva, como facilitamos la comunicación entre operadores de satélites para ponerse de acuerdo en el caso de que exista posibilidad de colisión, y podríamos quizá atender o invertir en otros aspectos de la sostenibilidad espacial, como por ejemplo, en la estandarización de los procedimientos de retirada de los objetos al final de su vida util, en el diseño los nuevos satélites para minimizar los riesgos de explosión o generación de nuevos fragmentos, o en tecnologías de retirada activa de objetos espaciales ya inútiles. Por supuesto, en este contexto cooperativo ideal seria todavía necesario realizar una vigilancia para velar por la fidelidad de los datos proporcionados, o comprobar que las medidas para re-entrada al final de la vida util se lleva a cabo de la manera declarada, y para hacer seguimiento o monitorear objetos inactivos o deshechos espaciales. Una posible analogía es la del sistema de trafico aéreo, en la que los aviones comerciales disponen de ayudas a la navegación, y comparten su posición en tiempo real, pero existe un proveedor de servicios de navegación aérea que colabora, participa y comprueba que el desarrollo del vuelo es el correcto. Un sistema de supervisión en un entorno cooperativo, no obstante, al modo de los servicios de navegación aérea seria mucho menos complejo que el necesario en el contexto actual.</p>

La pregunta es: la observación que tenemos puede corresponderse con este objeto? Y eso, ademas de predecir la trayectoria, incluye un manejo adecuado de la incertidumbre asociada al conocimiento que tenemos de la posición y velocidad del objeto orbital. El hecho de que los objetos puedan maniobrar, como hemos mencionado, hace que responder a esta pregunta sea complicado, en muchos casos. Finalmente, coordinar las decisiones es también complejo porque, en muchas ocasiones la información que manejan es diferente, de manera que no hay acuerdo en el análisis de la situación. Hay una anécdota a este respecto que sucedió hace unos anos, en 2019 entre el Aeolus y Starlink. Fue el primer caso en el que un satélite operacional maniobro para evitar la colisión con un satélite de una megaconstelacion. Y en este caso, se puso de manifiesto que la comunicación es fundamental, y que, disponer de datos diferentes puede hacer que no haya un acuerdo en el análisis de la situación.</span></p>

Además, como docente, creo que es importante formar las siguientes generaciones de ingenieros (y no solo ingenieros) que desarrollaran su vida profesional en el sector espacial con el foco puesto en la seguridad y sostenibilidad.</p>

<p>Transaction includes a fully committed $30 million common stock PIPE anchored by Cartesian Capital Group, with participation from leading Canadian and U.S. institutional investors, which is expected to provide the business with minimum gross proceeds of $30 million.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the transaction values NorthStar at a pre-money valuation of $300 million. The expected proceeds from the transaction will be used to fund payload capital expenditures such as sensors to include on satellites, spacecraft integration and deployment, and non-recurring engineering expenses.</p>
<p>Stewart Bain and the NorthStar executive team will continue to lead the Company following the close of the transaction, with the defined goal of executing NorthStar’s growth strategy.</p>
<p>The boards of directors of NorthStar and Viking have each unanimously approved the proposed transaction, which is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.</p>

				<h3><strong>Why NorthStar Is at Space Symposium​</strong></h3>
<p>​<br />
<strong>What the company does:​</strong><br />
NorthStar is the <strong>first commercial company to deliver space‑based Space Domain Awareness</strong>, operating a dedicated constellation while also processing multiple independent ground‑ and space‑based data sources. By fusing these diverse observations, NorthStar delivers higher confidence, greater certainty, and more reliable insight into the space environment.​<strong><br />
​<br />
Sensor agnostic data processing ​</strong></p>
<p>Our <strong>system architecture deliberately</strong> ingests, normalizes and parses disparate datasets through a unified analytics pipeline, producing decision‑relevant<br />
intelligence aligned with modern command‑and‑control and <strong>3C‑oriented SDA architectures.</strong>​</p>
<p>​<br />
<strong>Supporting Space Operations for Governments​</strong><br />
Today, NorthStar operates a 24/7 space monitoring service for governments combining<strong> persistent space‑based sensing</strong>, diversity of observations, and advanced analytics to detect and characterize unexpected behavior on orbit in support of real‑world operations.​</p>
<p>​<br />
<strong>Trusted Space Domain Awareness leader​</strong><br />
Our <strong>concept of operations, constellation design, and third‑party space‑based data processing</strong> are in consistent use in government programs worldwide and validated in the DARPA Space-WATCH U.S. Program. This demonstrates NorthStar’s role as a <strong>trusted, operational partner</strong> in an increasingly congested and complex space domain.​</p>

				<p>We believe space is not only a domain of technology—it is a domain of people. That’s why, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re spotlighting the women behind the work — the scientists, engineers, and analysts helping protect the space environment and keep orbital operations safe. Excellence in space requires diversity of thought, experience, and problem-solving approaches. Building a sustainable space future means building an inclusive space sector.</p>
<p>These interviews are more than career highlights. They’re personal stories of curiosity, resilience, and non-linear journeys — shared with the hope that the next generation of women and girls can see themselves in STEM. Representation isn’t symbolic: it directly shapes who feels welcome, who feels capable, and who believes they belong.</p>

<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your career journey so far?​</strong></p>
<p>I started out with a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering and Bachelor of Arts in Melbourne, which led to an exchange program in Kiruna, a town above the Arctic circle in Sweden, where I lived for a year and studied a Space Master&#8217;s. I always had a natural interest in space, probably influenced by my love for sci-fi and fantasy books, so being able to study at Kiruna for a year, in the same building as the Esrange Space Centre, seeing the Northern Lights regularly and experiencing the midnight sun and total darkness for months, really turned my attention towards the sky and to space. During my bachelor&#8217;s degree, I also completed two internships at aerospace companies in Germany, which was a great chance to spend a lot of time with my German family as well (I’m originally from Luxembourg, but moved to Australia with my family when I was 9 years old). I&#8217;ve always loved languages, so I finished my degree with a minor in French, and along the way worked in a café and later as a rock-climbing instructor at a climbing gym. I then studied my Masters of Space Engineering at UNSW, during which time one of my professors recommended me to his industry contacts, and a day later I got a job offer to work at a launch company.</p>
<p>From there, I really learned by doing &#8211; working on launch trajectory analysis and risk assessments and getting the chance to meet and learn from people across the space industry. An awesome highlight was travelling to Vandenberg Space Force Base and seeing the launch pads there in person. After about three years in launch operations, I moved into my current role as an Orbital Dynamics Specialist at NorthStar, where I&#8217;ve been for over a year now. Working within the domain of data fusion, I primarily support international space safety as an operator &#8211; in a nutshell, we bring together and analyse data from many different sources, such as earth observations, space-based observations, photometric and passive RF data, to characterise and report on satellite manoeuvres, attitude changes and close approaches, with the goal of providing a safe space environment and increased situational awareness in space.</p>

I love being able to work in real-time operations, where you’re dealing with live data and more time-critical decisions. Being able to also work directly with the code and see how things function behind the scenes has also helped me build a much better understanding of orbit determination algorithms, and it keeps the work very engaging. I&#8217;ve personally also always been quite curious about the space environment in terms of space weather, radiation belts and how the environment changes in different orbital regions.​</p>

A lot of my career path and path in life in general has come from saying yes to unexpected, spontaneous things – like the exchange program in Sweden or last-minute work opportunities and trips – and trusting that I’d figure it out along the way. Also making the best out of any situation. Covid lockdowns disrupted my original plan to start working in the space industry in Germany, which led me to study my Master’s in Australia instead and in the end, everything worked out better than I could have imagined. I think going to networking events is also important, not just to meet people but also to gain a larger perspective of what goes on in the space industry worldwide. For me, these kinds of events always inspired me. One particularly memorable experience was chatting with an astronaut who described what Space Shuttle flights were like as a shuttle pilot – I remember just being in complete awe and feeling even more excited to work in this field.</p>

<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your career journey so far?​</strong></p>
<p>I once heard someone joke that astronomy is a gateway drug to physics: you start with a perfectly innocent sense of awe at black holes and supernovae, and before you know it, you’re spending your Friday nights staring at some terrifying equations. That was certainly true for me. It began with an astrophysics class in Cegep, which led to an exploratory year in the Astrophysics program at University of Toronto, which I had to leave for personal reasons. I returned to Montreal and studied Engineering Physics at Polytechnique Montreal. (We did no astrophysics whatsoever, but I did stare at plenty of terrifying equations.) ​</p>
<p>After graduating, I took a gap year to go backpacking, and then did a Master’s in neutrino physics at McGill. I managed to sneak in a couple Astro classes even though my research topic wasn’t really related. This was mostly during the pandemic, and I lived alone and worked alone – it was a tough time. Afterwards, I wanted a change of scenery, and eventually, I stumbled upon an internship at NorthStar in Luxembourg that spoke to my interests. I moved over without even knowing that our main office is twenty minutes away from where I grew up! But I love it here, and luckily, my internship turned into a permanent position. ​</p>

<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your career journey so far?​</strong></p>
<p>I’m a hockey lover, a mom of three little monsters, and an astrophysicist. For the past three years, I’ve been working at NorthStar Earth &amp; Space, a Montréal-based start-up. I began my academic journey with a bachelor’s degree in physics, then took a detour into mechanical engineering for my master’s degree. During that time, my work focused on developing a new parameterization to better optimize airplane wing designs.​</p>
<p>Eventually, I found my way back to my first love—astronomy—by completing a PhD in astrophysics. I then spent six years in postdoctoral research in Toulouse, France, studying pulsating white dwarfs. After that, I was ready for a new challenge and joined NorthStar, where I now work on monitoring and tracking space debris.</p>

<p><strong>Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your career journey so far?​</strong></p>
<p>Back in high school, while choosing the topic I wanted to bring for the final exam I stumbled upon the SDO (solar dynamics observatory) a satellite publishing incredible pictures of the Sun at different spectral lengths. Of course I had no idea of what was going on, or what that meant, I was simply in awe of how beautiful those pictures were and the fact that they came from space. Despite this love at first sight, I did not venture the unknown path and instead went on to study mathematics in my bachelor, at Politecnico di Milano. I was good at it; it was a safe choice.</p>
<p>After three years, I realised it was not fulfilling my curiosity and decided was time to apply all those abstract concepts to space. I did my master&#8217;s degree at TU Delft focusing on space flight and my thesis in Germany on the coupling between orbital dynamics and flexible structures. It was while I was looking for a job that I stumbled on the theme of “Space Situational Awareness” which I had not been taught previously. I discovered the problem of cataloguing, of tracking, of making space safe for operations. And from there on I never left it.</p>
<p>I did my PhD on it (in between Spain and the Uk), then moved to New Zealand and continued with my Postdoc and PhD students&#8217; supervision, including a brief teaching phase at the Master of Aerospace. After all these years applying mathematical and statistical methods to contribute to the cataloguing efforts theoretically, I felt the need to look at it from an operational perspective, and the occasion came at the perfect moment when NorthStar decided to open a pacific office. ​</p>
