We’re attending the 39th Annual Small Satellite Conference, August 10-13, in Salt Lake City. 🚀

COMSPOC Chief Scientist Dan Oltrogge will be there and available to talk about how space situational awareness is essential to safe satellite operations.

Use it to run your own conjunction screening with high-frequency updates and realistic uncertainty — freed from using misleading worst-case or orbit-class averaged error defaults. (4/4)

This eliminates faulty time-varying error function assumptions for error components and correlations — resulting in more accurate and realistic estimates.

It uses a new digital statistical approach to 6×6 covariance uncertainty modeling, generating space object-specific uncertainty as a function of time from orbit determination epoch and argument of latitude. (2/4)

🛰️ Spacebook, by COMSPOC, is the only service of its kind to offer synthetic covariance and ephemeris, updated every eight hours for every object in the public catalog. (1/4)

ℹ️ The SSC is an ad hoc coalition that actively promotes responsible space safety through the adoption and development of international standards, guidelines, and practices.

Design decisions early in a mission can significantly reduce collision risk and improve long-term sustainability. This includes creating safe constellation architectures and taking precautions to prevent dead-on-arrival deployments, particularly when fielding new spacecraft designs.

Congress can help by insisting on a full rebaselining of the functions in the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) program. Read more from @breakingdefense.com. (2/2)

Appropriators restore funding for Commerce's TraCSS spacewatch effort - Breaking Defense After a drastic reduction proposed by the White House, the Senate Appropriations Committee would fund the Office of Space Commerce at $60 million in FY26 to continue with TraCSS.

Restoring funding for the Office of Space Commerce (OSC)'s Space Traffic Coordination (STC) responsibilities is a critical step. But as former OSC Chief Kevin O’Connell said, real progress means fully leveraging commercial SSA capabilities already available. (1/2)

That’s why space situational awareness matters. With a highly accurate object catalog and low latency, you're able to respond to the unexpected. And while the trajectory of 2024 YR4 will be carefully tracked, what will happen in the aftermath of a potential collision is much harder to predict. (2/2)

What happens if an asteroid hits the moon? Astronomers are racing to find answers | CNN Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

“Space touches almost every aspect of our lives today ... so a loss of access to and effective use of space presents a serious risk to humanity,” said COMSPOC Chief Scientist Dan Oltrogge in a recent @cnn.com article.

So keep it coming, fellas. Today, there ain't nothin' can shake your grin — you're in COMSPOC Country. ⛰️ 🛰️ (5/5)

And with that Kalman Filter and latency so low you can race a lightning bolt, you've got an eye on 'em no matter how squirrely they get. (4/5)

But you? You're cool as a mountain stream, because you have COMSPOC’s SSASuite. We're talking high capacity, to keep your catalog running smooth, and realistic covariance, so you know how close you're cutting it. (3/5)

Oh, and those folks that said they weren't developing military capabilities? They just tested a sequence of maneuvers like they're Tokyo drifting out in GEO. (2/5)

Space can be crazy. Tomorrow some private launch vehicle is gonna unload five hundred new smallsats, like a dump truck laying down gravel right in front of you. (1/5)

Crowded orbits and inconsistent sensor data can make it hard for satellite operators to track space objects with confidence. Data fusion is an essential technique to deal with this problem.

Want to understand why fusing data from multiple sensors matters in space situational awareness (SSA)? (1/4)
