    SpaceNews reports that ESA plans to test space traffic management services offered by Portuguese startup Neuraspace.

    Under a contract announced today, ESA’s Space Debris Office will integrate Neuraspace services with its existing  tools at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Germany.

    Klaus Merz, senior collision avoidance analyst for ESA’s Space Safety Program Office, said in a statement - ESA’s Space Safety Program is focused “on the perils in space that threaten critical components of our modern society,” adding, “If not managed properly, resident space objects ultimately threaten the economically vital Earth orbits to become unusable”.
