ASSET IDENTITY · LAUNCHING STATE · OPERATOR SOLVENCY

Satellites outlive the companies that own them.

Other catalogues tell you where an object is. The Orbital Asset Registry tells you who is accountable for it — a permanent OAR Asset ID, a reasoned launching-State attribution, and the operator’s corporate status, dated and sourced to the filing that established it.

What a catalogue can't tell you

IDENTITY
One ID that never moves
NORAD numbers get reused and COSPAR designators break on rideshares. An OAR Asset ID is issued once and survives renaming, transfer of ownership, and re-registration.
●212,753 aliases resolved
ACCOUNTABILITY
Reasoned launching-State attribution
Four limbs — launch, procurement, territory, facility — each evaluated separately, tiered by evidential strength, and shown with the basis for the claim rather than a single guessed flag.
●Tier 1–4 disclosed on every claim
PROVENANCE
Law cited to a hashed source text
Every treaty provision links to the Space Law Corpus with the SHA-256 of the exact text relied on. Citations can be verified years later against the record as it stood.
●DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21185483
02 / WATCHLIST

Operator distress & decay watch

Operators in administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, each dated and sourced to the filing that established it — alongside objects whose orbit is decaying and any object under a UN Art. IV cessation notice. Nothing else published ties a fleet to its operator’s corporate status.
