Aldoria (Share My Space) and the EIC Accelerator: Watching Orbit

Satellite operators need warnings of collisions between their spacecraft and other objects, and the public catalogues cover about 25,000 of them, according to the company's EU project report. Share My Space, a Toulouse start-up founded in 2017 and renamed Aldoria in 2024, tracks them with its own networks of optical telescopes and sells the data and collision warnings, aiming to give Europe an alternative to catalogues run by the US military.

The European Innovation Council granted €2,150,000 towards a €3.07 million project that deployed its first multi-telescope stations, and the EIC Fund joined a €10 million Series A in January 2024. Since then Aldoria has won work from the French Space Command, the EU space surveillance programme and, in September 2026, the European Defence Fund. French register data show revenue of €3.7 million and a net loss of €3.5 million in 2025.

Where Aldoria Stands Today

Aldoria's news page reads increasingly like a defence supplier's. In 2025 it installed its most advanced surveillance station in Spain, opened a site in Belgium and won a surveillance operations contract from the French Space Command. CNES awarded it an attitude analysis experiment within the EU's space surveillance and tracking programme. In February 2026 it signed a contract with India's AXISCADES for an optical station and, with Integrasys, a memorandum with Luxembourg's defence ministry. In September 2026 the two were selected for EOBLINDING, a €6 million, 30-month European Defence Fund project in which Aldoria will build its first mobile space surveillance station.

The Technology: Many Small Telescopes

Aldoria uses stations with several passive optical telescopes each, spread around the world, to observe satellites and debris, and software to compute orbits and predict close approaches. In January 2024 it said it had six stations on four continents and planned twelve by 2025.

What the EIC Project Promised, and What CORDIS Shows

CASSIOPEE aimed to "disrupt space surveillance" with collision prediction algorithms and an independent catalogue of more than 100,000 debris objects smaller than 10 cm. According to the CORDIS results, the company developed and deployed two multi-telescope observation stations with four telescopes each, recruited 23 people and signed "a major commercial contract" for data in 2022. The report gives a target catalogue of more than 150,000 objects, but not how many objects Aldoria actually tracks.

What Has Happened Since the Award

The Money

The January 2024 Series A of €10 million was led by Starquest Capital, with the EIC Fund, the French state through Bpifrance's Deeptech 2030 fund, Expansion Ventures, Space Founders France and Wind Capital, bringing total funding to €22 million. The company then claimed more than 20 customers and partnerships with CNES, ESA, Airbus Defence and Space, Astroscale and Isar Aerospace. Its 2025 accounts show €3.71 million in revenue and a net loss of €3.47 million.

Why Europe Should Care

CORDIS describes the project as challenging the US military's dominance in tracking objects in orbit. Aldoria's customers now include French and Luxembourg defence bodies and the European Defence Fund, which makes it part of Europe's effort to watch its own sky. EU money supported it twice, through the EIC grant and the EIC Fund.
