About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $30,001 research grant to Leocast Space LLC to support Dr. Eric Sutton's development of software for processing Starlink Orbital Decay (OD) data. The contract, awarded on September 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, will facilitate the inference of orbit-effective neutral densities from commercial satellite tracking data. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Satellite Tracking and Communications (STAC) division will provide the underlying methodologies and assist with downloading the necessary Starlink OD data as required for the software development effort.
This effort represents a civilian space research initiative without set-aside designation, performed at Leocast Space LLC's location in Niwot, Colorado. The work supports NASA's broader mission of utilizing commercial satellite constellations to enhance atmospheric modeling and space weather forecasting capabilities, enabling improved predictions of satellite orbital decay and collision avoidance assessments through enhanced density estimation derived from real-world Starlink tracking data.
