DiGOS Potsdam GmbH

DiGOS Potsdam GmbH is a leading technology company specializing in the system integration of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Space Debris Laser Ranging (SDLR), and geodetic measurement systems. Founded in 2014 at the historic research hub of Potsdam, Germany, DiGOS has become a trusted partner for national and international space agencies, including the European Space Agency (ESA).

The company's core expertise lies in delivering turnkey laser ranging ground stations and mobile laser systems. These state-of-the-art solutions enable millimeter-precision measurements for satellite positioning and centimeter-level accuracy in space debris tracking. As such, DiGOS contributes significantly to Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and the security of near-Earth space.

A standout innovation is DiGOS’s mobile laser ranging node, which can be fully operational within a single day. Designed for maximum flexibility and resilience, it is ideal for temporary deployments, ad-hoc observation tasks, or as part of distributed SSA networks. Built with high-end European technology, the system is automated, weatherproof, and meets the highest standards for operational safety and reliability.

In addition to hardware, DiGOS provides precise measurement data and associated services—such as orbit determination and space safety applications. DiGOS systems are in operation worldwide, including at the ESA’s station in Tenerife, as well as in Italy and Japan.

DiGOS combines technological excellence with a lean, interdisciplinary team and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. In recognition of this, the company was awarded the "21 Rising Stars" prize by ESA in 2024.
