    Big companies are busy preparing to send more rockets and satellites up from Florida’s Space Coast, which is great for creating more aerospace-related economic impact in the Orlando region.

    But that increased activity leaves a lot of space junk in its wake, which could result in spacecraft collisions.

    That’s where Merritt Island-based Vision Engineering Solutions Inc. has found a big opportunity: helping firms find a clear path to space.

    Vision Engineering Solutions creates optical tracking systems that help the aerospace and satellite industries track the movement of objects in low Earth orbit to determine if a launch projectile or satellite placement is clear of orbital junk.
