Gaia maps 150,000+ asteroid orbits — ESA/Gaia/DPAC

Space Data Intelligence

Validated data for the space economy

Esox Space builds on GASP — the open Gaia Asteroid Spectral Pipeline — delivering a catalog of 19,190 asteroids with Gaia DR3 reflectance spectra, cross-matched enrichment, and ranking for mission screening and due diligence.

Pipeline

The commercial layer extends the open-source GASP workflow with additional modelling and reporting. Core physics and catalog provenance remain traceable to Gaia and the published literature.

  1. Gaia DR3 acquisition

    Reflectance spectra from ESA’s archive, structured for reproducible processing.

  2. NUV correction

    Published correction for near-ultraviolet systematics (Tinaut-Ruano et al.).

  3. Cross-match & enrichment

    Photometry, families, albedo where available — aligned to the public GASP catalog.

  4. ML classification & ranking

    Taxonomy baselines and prospecting scores for screening — documented, not speculative.

Services

Fixed-scope products where possible. All commercial outputs label screening estimates as illustrative; independent verification remains your responsibility.

Tier A — Prospecting Dossier

€450 per object

Single-body screening pack: spectra-linked context, family and orbit notes, illustrative ranking context.

Tier B — Target Filter

€1,500–3,000

Portfolio-level shortlist against constraints you define. Delivered as tables and a concise technical memo. Illustrative economic figures where shown.

Tier C — Mission Analysis

On request

Deeper trajectory-accessibility and scenario work for a narrow target set — scoped after intro call.

All economic figures are illustrative. No investment advice implied.
