About NorthStar Earth & Space
Canadian space-data company developing space-situational-awareness services and satellite-based information products.
Operating context
NorthStar combines optical observations with Si² analytics for tracking, event detection, conjunction assessment and navigation support. It sells subscription and pay-per-use services while developing additional onboard AI and modular sensors. Kepler’s September 2026 announcement places Tranche-2 infrastructure supporting NorthStar among future 2028 deployments. The legacy Spire relationship also remains consequential: filings report a July 2026 award against NorthStar, while NorthStar says enforcement of replacement-satellite obligations was not determined. A buyer should establish which observations and hosting arrangements support the proposed service today, separately from planned capacity.
