Aldoria: Space Surveillance and European Strategic Autonomy

Aldoria is a European deep-tech startup specializing in Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and collision avoidance services. The company’s technology portfolio aligns closely with EU Emerging and Disruptive Technology priorities in Space systems and Artificial Intelligence , delivering autonomous optical surveillance networks and AI-driven orbital analytics [5] . By developing an ITAR-free , European-owned sensor network, Aldoria strengthens European strategic autonomy in space – reducing reliance on U.S. or other external tracking data [6] . Its services enable NATO allies to integrate reliable SSA data into multi-domain operations, bolstering collective deterrence through improved space domain awareness. The firm has attracted substantial support from EU and national programs: it led an EDF (European Defence Fund) project on space threat response and won the EDA’s Defence Innovation Prize 2022 , reflecting its contribution to European defense capabilities [7] [8] . In parallel, Aldoria provides collision avoidance and orbital monitoring to commercial satellite operators, illustrating a dual-use market strategy that reinforces Europe’s space security while remaining interoperable with U.S. and allied systems. Through participation in European industrial consortia and partnerships with prime contractors, Aldoria is helping build a sovereign European SSA ecosystem that enhances resilience of critical space infrastructure and mitigates strategic dependencies. Aldoria (formerly Share My Space ) is a privately held company headquartered in France , with operational offices in Toulouse and Paris and an international presence in Brussels and Austin, Texas [9] .
