The Commercial Space Operations Center (ComSpOC) developed by Exton’s Analytical Graphics Inc. (AGI) is tracking the inaugural launch of an improved Chinese rocket.

ComSpOC is capable of tracking the timing and trajectory of the Long March 5’s launch, something that is potentially challenging for traditional sensors. However, AGI’s Software Suite has integrated optical data provided by its commercial partners such as ExoAnalytic Solutions, which is being fused and processed with other sensor types in order to detect, track, and evaluate the Chinese experimental mission.

ComSpOC uses a processing engine that allows it to combine different sensor phenomenologies, including passive radio frequency and optical telescopes, as well as different radar inputs. The system, which has been validated by the U.S. Air Force, produces high definition information to help develop a very accurate orbit.

The orbit data that was produced for the Long March 5 by the ComSpOC showcases the responsiveness and flexibility of the suite’s sensor network and data processing engine that can accurately and promptly respond to challenging space missions.
