Seradata

Seradata Ltd, originally created in 2013 following a management buyout of the Seradata database product (formerly SpaceTrak) from Reed Business Information Ltd, is a leading space data publisher serving the global space industry. It provides comprehensive, consistent, independent, and authoritative data on every orbital launch and satellite since Sputnik in 1957, along with future planned spacecraft and launches. Seradata’s platform is widely used by governments, space agencies, aerospace manufacturers, satellite operators, insurance firms, and universities worldwide, enabling vital data-driven decision making in marketing and risk assessment within the space sector.

The company traces its roots back to research conducted since 1979 on launch vehicle failure rates, which evolved through earlier databases, including Ecco and SpaceTrak, before the current Seradata platform was introduced in 2015 with a modern, dynamic interface that enhances analysis capabilities. Seradata continuously invests in improving both its data content and IT infrastructure to provide a superior customer experience.

In 2022, Seradata was acquired by Slingshot Aerospace, jointly advancing space system monitoring, simulation, and optimization through dynamic virtual environments and decision intelligence technology. Seradata remains committed to empowering users with actionable insights that support the responsible and sustainable use of space.

The company is headquartered in Northampton, England, and offers its services via an easy-to-use web-based platform that delivers extensive space market analysis and satellite research tools. Its leadership includes professionals with deep expertise in space operations, industry knowledge, and business acumen, driving both the expansion and innovation of Seradata solutions globally.

Seradata’s mission is to be the premier source of data for the space industry, providing world-class decision support tools, data, and analysis that enhance productivity and enable users to focus on critical outputs. It is recognized as the world’s number one space data publisher, trusted for its accuracy and depth of information in the aerospace sector.
