Aldoria was born in 2017, from the encounter between Romain Lucken, doctor in Plasma Physics and Damien Giolito, inventor and entrepreneur. Both convinced that Space was going to become the new Wild West, an overexploited territory and the theater of international conflicts, it appeared certain to them that all players in the ecosystem, public and private, would have to collaborate to ensure a sustainable and ethical future for orbital traffic.
“Better is the enemy of good.”
This timeless observation captures a critical truth: the pursuit of perfection, while noble, can paralyze action when decisiveness is most needed. In the realm of space surveillance, where the stakes are the long-term sustainability of Earth’s orbit, this principle is more relevant than ever. The challenges before us—growing debris, rapid satellite deployment, and mounting geopolitical tensions—demand immediate and pragmatic solutions, not delays in search of unattainable ideals.
Earth’s orbit is no longer an open frontier; it is a densely populated and increasingly contested domain. Thousands of satellites form the critical backbone of global infrastructure, enabling navigation, communication, and environmental monitoring. Yet, the system that supports modern civilization is under strain. At 800 km altitude, the Kessler Syndrome—where collisions generate debris at a rate that surpasses natural mitigation—is already unfolding. Each new collision compounds the risk, threatening to destabilize this fragile environment for decades or even centuries.
At Aldoria, we confront these realities with urgency and resolve. We see Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) as systemic necessities—not merely technical capability. SSA empowers governments, institutions, and private operators to understand and act on the complexities of orbital activity, while STM provides actionable solutions for managing increasingly crowded orbital paths. Together, they serve as pillars for ensuring a safe, sustainable, and efficient use of space, benefiting all users—public and commercial alike.
Aldoria supports a diverse range of stakeholders, from governments, space agencies (like CNES) and institutions (EU) to commercial satellite operators and new space companies. Whether addressing orbital risk management, protecting critical space assets, or optimizing traffic coordination for mega-constellations, our mission is to provide actionable insights and innovative solutions that enhance safety and operational efficiency. By leveraging proven, ITAR-free technologies, we enable Europe and the broader space community to exercise greater autonomy and leadership in the orbital domain.
In the years ahead, Aldoria aims to define new standards for space surveillance and traffic management. This ambition drives our investments in advanced technologies, the recruitment of exceptional talent, and the refinement of our capabilities in precision, coverage, and responsiveness. Our philosophy remains rooted in action: acting decisively with the tools at hand, without succumbing to the inertia of over-engineering or idealism.
Space is not merely an operational domain; it is a shared environment, a testament to human ingenuity, and a responsibility we all bear. At Aldoria, we are committed to ensuring that this fragile ecosystem remains accessible and sustainable for future generations. As we say, “Better is the enemy of good.” In this delicate moment, action—imperfect but informed—is the only path to safeguarding the orbital environment and preserving space as a cornerstone of global progress.
