The Astrosite™

The Astrosite™ is a world first neuromorphic-inspired mobile telescope observatory engineered by The International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) for space situational awareness. It employs event based vision sensors, which operate much like the human eye - where each pixel independently reacts to changes in light with microsecond precision.

This innovative design enables dramatic advances in efficiency - Astrosite captures only meaningful changes (like a satellite passing through the field of view), drastically reducing data volume (by factors of 10 to 1000×), consuming much less power and operating effectively both day and night under challenging lighting conditions.

These features make Astrosite especially adept at tracking high-speed objects such as satellites, monitoring space debris, providing early collision warnings and even functioning from mobile platforms rather than fixed observatories—all of which represent a game-changing capability for space monitoring and defence applications.
