Ten One Aerospace and Optimum Technologies LLC Announce Strategic Collaboration to Advance Space-Based Space Domain Awareness
Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Sterling, VA] — [September 1, 2025] – Ten One Aerospace and Optimum Technologies LLC today announced a strategic collaboration to deliver a comprehensive suite of electro-optical solutions designed to enhance the nation’s capabilities in space-based Space Domain Awareness (SDA).
Under this collaboration, Ten One Aerospace will focus on the development and deployment of wide field-of-view electro-optical systems, enabling persistent monitoring of broad areas of space to detect and track resident space objects. In complement, Optimum Technologies LLC will provide narrow field-of-view electro-optical systems, delivering high-resolution imaging and detailed characterization of individual space objects.
Together, these integrated systems create an “Optimum Ten One solution” that offers both the breadth and precision needed to maintain awareness of the rapidly evolving space environment. By combining wide-area surveillance with targeted characterization, the collaboration will provide U.S. government and allied customers with a distinct technical and cost advantage in both resolved and unresolved tracking of space objects.
“Space is becoming increasingly congested and contested and maintaining awareness of what’s happening in orbit is critical to national security and global stability,” said Chris Roscoe, CEO, Ten One Aerospace. “By integrating our wide field-of-view capabilities with Optimum Technologies narrow field-of-view expertise, we are delivering a scalable solution that ensures unmatched clarity and confidence in tracking objects across all orbital regimes.”
Jeffrey Gick, CEO, Optimum Technologies, added, “Our collaboration with Ten One Aerospace provides the U.S. with a leap-ahead capability in space-based surveillance. The combination of our high-resolution imaging systems with Ten One’s wide coverage creates a powerful end-to-end solution that addresses the full spectrum of space domain awareness challenges.”
This collaborative joint solution leverages advanced sensor technologies, on-orbit processing, and scalable architectures to ensure rapid, reliable, and cost-effective deployment. By offering a layered approach to detection and characterization, Ten One Aerospace and Optimum Technologies are helping secure the space domain for years to come.
