First announced in September 2021 by company president and co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, Privateer has largely been working in stealth mode to create what it has called the"Google Maps of space." The launch of Wayfinder marked the first of Privateer's"many small steps" toward creating a sustainable future in space, the company teased on Twitter on Monday., more than 27,000 pieces of human-made objects are currently being tracked in orbit.
"With this new project, we can give back to the planet from the depths of the sea to beyond the skies," said Aeschlimann."There is also a great synergy between Omega and Privateer. We share an obsessive attention to detail. The inside of a mechanical watch is like a mini universe. Everything needs to operate without obstructions if you want it to work perfectly and endure."
Omega watches were previously used to track activities from Earth orbit aboard the first U.S. space station, Skylab. The Privateer partnership comes on the heels of another space debris-focused collaboration by Omega. In January, the watchmaker announced that it is supporting ClearSpace and its efforts to perform the first-ever capture and removal of an uncontrolled space satellite from Earth orbit. In 2020, ClearSpace signed a service contract with the European Space Agency for the first space debris removal mission, planned for 2025.
