UK launches new military observation satellite Titania and begins trials of Project Inaros for space threat monitoring

The UK Ministry of Defence announced on November 7 the successful launch of its new military satellite, Titania, into orbit. Described as a new 'pair of eyes' in space, Titania is designed to enhance the UK's ability to observe military activity on Earth and detect space and security threats at an early stage. Concurrently, the MOD is beginning trials of Project Inaros, a system of three specialist ground-based sensors aimed at monitoring activity in orbit to spot unusual movements or potential threats close to satellites.
