GMV awarded contract to study the future European SST Marketplace

In 2025, GMV was awarded a new contract by the Spanish Space Agency (AEE) for consultancy activities on the need and definition of a Marketplace for Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) services. The contract, linked to tender 2024/00000063, will help lay the foundations for a more dynamic and competitive commercial SST market in Europe.

During the execution of the recently completed project, the need, potential benefits, challenges, and implementation options for a digital platform centralizing access to commercial SST services across Europe were assessed. The initiative responds to priorities identified by the European Commission and the EU SST Industry and Start-ups Forum (EISF), in which AEE leads the Working Group on Services.

GMV has explored three levels of Marketplace complexity: from a basic directory of services (Level 1) to a fully integrated platform hosting provider software and managing secure transactions (Level 3). The study has also assessed technological solutions, industrial interest, user needs, and potential roles for institutional actors such as the EU SST and national space agencies.

This award reinforces GMV’s leadership in the European space domain, building on its extensive experience in SST services, sensor development, and data processing systems.
