ICARUS is collaborating with the SpaceTech GmbH, Immenstaad (STI) and the Steinbeis Tansferzentrum Raumfahrt (TZR) to develop a technological solution for the global tracking of small objects (animals). 

The TZR had already successfully installed the Global Transmission Services (GTS) on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2002. TZR is now advancing the GTS technology for ICARUS applications.

The STI installed Geo Monitoring Systems such as the German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS).

ICARUS also developed an MoU with the Russian Institute of Geography and the ISS Utilization Center, RSC-Energia, to collaborate on the joint establishment of a gobal monitoring system for environmental changes, studying animals.
