The mission to map space debris

OMEGA partners with Privateer to help ensure a safe and sustainable future in space.

Privateer’s three-man crew: Dr. Moriba Jah, Steve Wozniak and Alex Fielding.

In line with its pledge to give back to the planet, OMEGA is supporting a critical mission to track satellites and debris that pose hazards to human activity in space. OMEGA is collaborating with Privateer as they map space objects in orbit with unprecedented accuracy and transparency.

The map will pinpoint thousands of pieces of human-made space objects currently orbiting the Earth

Space junk poses a threat to the satellites humankind relies on for critical services like communication, positioning and climate monitoring. Therefore, a precise map of the debris is vital, as the task of removal cannot begin without first pinpointing the exact location of each stray object.

Every visual captured by Privateer includes an OMEGA watch displaying the precise time the image was taken.

Like the Apollo missions that made OMEGA’s Moonwatch the most famous chronograph in the world, Privateer’s mission is led by a crew of three: Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, Ripcord CEO and founder Alex Fielding, and astrodynamicist and space environmentalist Dr. Moriba Jah. The partnership is a source of great pride for OMEGA and further proof of the brand’s willingness to seek out adventure, learn, evolve, take risks — and use its global influence for positive change.
