Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast
In this episode, Novaspace consultant Gabriel Deville will cover the current state and outlook of Space Situational Awareness. SSA is a rapidly growing field, with over 80% of data collected by government agencies, making it predominantly government-focused. Gabriel will address the different SSA needs of defense, civil, and commercial sectors, and the shift from geostationary to low Earth orbit as investments in in-orbit services increase. He will also discuss the $3 billion government investment in in-orbit services, crucial for space operations' flexibility, sustainability, and safety, and the market's need for a substantial customer base before it becomes a true buyer's market.
Keeping track of satellites requires space situational awareness (SSA). But how does one acquire this information, and how subjective is the data that we receive? Sean Goldsborough, Business Leader at Raytheon NORSS, talks to us about the art of satellite tracking. We discuss the difference between SSA and space domain awareness (there is a distinction!), how the technology underlies military applications, and how the data available could potentially be used for nefarious purposes – for example, by disguising the real nature of objects in space.
Rocket Lab has been awarded a $14.49 million task order by the US Space Force to launch a dedicated Electron mission for the military branch. Ursa Major has signed a contract with the Naval Energetics Systems and Technologies Program (NEST) to develop and hot fire test a prototype solid rocket motor for the US Navy's Standard Missile program. The US Space Command and the Swedish Air Force signed a Space Situational Awareness sharing agreement, and more.

Da Andreas Mogensen tidligere i år var på vej op til ISS sammen med resten af Crew-7, så endte turen med at blive et par timer længere end oprindelig planlagt. Det skyldtes at man oppe på ISS måtte tænde for sine servicemodul-motorer og lade dem fyre af i præcis 21 et halvt sekund for at skifte bane og undgå risikoen for at blive ramt af et stykke rumskrot! Det er absolut hverken første eller sidste gang at et stykke rumskrald giver problemer. Mængden af 'space debris' er vokset kolossalt siden vi mennesker første gang begyndte at sende ting i rummet. ESA anslår at der findes omkring 130 millioner stykker rumskrot med en størrelse mellem 1 millimeter og 10 centimeter derude, i omløb om Jorden fra Low Earth Orbit (nogle få hundrede kilometer) og hele vejen ud til geostationært omløb (ca 36.000 km). Samtidig kommer der bare mere og mere skrald, efterhånden som flere ting kommer i rummet og ramler ind i hinanden og går i stykker og bliver til mere rumskrot, og så videre og så videre... Der bliver heldigvis arbejdet på at løse problemet med både lovgivning og teknologi. I denne episode af RumSnak skal vi især tale om den første del af løsningen – nemlig at finde, tracke og analysere især de udtjente satellitter der stadig befinder sig i omløb og skaber potentiel ballade derude. Vi havde for nogle måneder siden besøg i studiet af Ann-Sofie Bak Nielsen, der dengang arbejdede som Space Situational Awareness-ingeniør i et spansk firma (idag arbejder Ann-Sofie i Uddannelses-og Forskningsministeriet hos kontoret for rum). Derudover har vi selvfølgelig korte nyheder og bonus – og så fortæller vi om den foreløbig sidste omgang RumSnak LIVE, hvor vi skal tale direkte med Andreas oppe på ISS! Lyt med

Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast
In this Constellations Podcast, we'll discuss how earth orbits are becoming more crowded due to greater accessibility for all. As more rockets, more satellites, more ground stations and more components are helping to grow space capabilities, they inadvertently grow the risks of collision with uncontrolled space debris and coverage gaps with other nations, providers and schemas. During this episode, Melanie Stricklan, co-founder and CEO of Slingshot Aerospace, will talk through the state of our orbits and space situational awareness, how massive growth in space affects sustainability, and how space data can be curated and combined to create a more holistic view of what is going on in orbit. Hear Melanie explain how Slingshot's Beacon platform fosters collaboration between space players to support timely threat detection and enable confident decision-making that can protect space assets and infrastructure.
In this episode we discuss Earth's first on-orbit satellite inspection service, Australian startup HEO Robotics, on a quest to "Make Space (Assets) Transparent".

Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast
Earth Observation, Space Situational Awareness and Contested/Congested Space are terms increasingly heard in satellite and space media, brought about, in part, by the growing accessibility and democratization of the space industry. Our guest, Gino Bucciol - Co-founder and Chief Development Officer at Officina Stellare, a company based in Italy active in the design and production of telescopes, optomechanical, and aerospace instrumentation for ground and space-based applications will touch on each of these. Listen as Gino discusses the difference between ground-based and space-based telescopes; the former best suited for research, astronomy and defense applications like weapon tracking; while the latter is most often used for debris tracking, satellite collision avoidance, or laser communication. Gino further discusses why telescopes are perfect to provide information on an object’s angular position, thanks to their extremely high resolution, while radar is perfect to obtain a precise measurement of the object's distance.

Dr. Moriba Jah, professor at the University of Texas at Austin, past navigator for many missions to Mars, and space situational awareness expert returns to the Cold Star Project. With host Jason Kanigan, Dr. Jah digs deeper into the challenges of space object identification, tracking and orbital prediction, including: Why is it a problem that satellite orbit pathing predictions assume a spheroid shape? What issues does this create? What can we do to improve the predictive ability of satellite pathing calculations? Why do we need to improve this accuracy--what’s the rush, what’s driving this need? What is the technology behind space traffic management: what era is it from, and how does it work? Who operates it? What would a better system look like, and who should operate it? Why was the Two Line Element format chosen? What’s wrong with TLEs? It’s my understanding from speaking with our colleagues, primarily the British, that more information is available or even broadcast, but some is truncated to fit in the TLE format. Why is this done? In my own research, I found a Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems blue book from 2009, updated in 2012. From there I went on to the CCSDS website. Thinking is clearly done on the topic: why, then, is (from the outsider’s perspective, at any rate) the pace of change glacial? What would a modern satellite data communication system look like? How many lines would you recommend? What would this additional data transmission enable us to do or know? In the past year space situational awareness and space domain awareness have finally been getting more of the attention it deserves. What else needs to happen to gain the energy to make change and the funding required to do so?

Following a three-and-a-half decade UK defense career culminating in managing RAF Fylingdales and in the role of Aerospace Battle Manager, Ralph "Dinz" Dinsley founded Northern Space and Security (NORSS). In this discussion with Cold Star Project host Jason Kanigan, Dinz lays out the case for moving space situational awareness from military to civilian management. Dinz answers: What is “Peace and Development”, the postgraduate studies subject you applied yourself to for your Masters degree? What exactly is “Aerospace Battle Manager”, the role you held for a dozen years? What would you describe as the main reason behind the establishment of NORSS? What problems do you solve, and for what organizations? Is the military dominance coverage of the orbital environment still fit for purpose? Under what domain should space traffic management be? What is the Space Law Games, which you co-initiated? What do you hope to discover from the exercise? Where do you find yourself getting pulled into discussions as a well-known individual in the UK defense sector?

Michael Maloney of Satellite Design for Recovery returns to the Cold Star Project, and we're continuing our discussion of the problems in space traffic management. While many people think STM is already figured out, the truth is this is a phantom idea. Current systems are cobbled together and do not represent a serious solution to the problem. With host Jason Kanigan, Michael discusses: what space traffic management is and why we need it how we can measure capacity and utilization in STM why Air Traffic Control can be used as a model in developing a functional STM solution what limits there are in executing a Space Traffic Management program a future path to STM including better Space Situational Awareness, mitigation of space debris, and timely remediation.

Recorded in Washington DC, on December 6, 2018. The orbital space around the earth is increasingly utilized by many actors across the world. Satellites built and launched by governments that strictly served national security and scientific exploration purposes have given way to privately (and even amateur) built and commercially launched space objects. This growth in participation has increased the amount of stakeholders interested in preserving the orbital domain, but it has also increased the amount of satellites and human-generated debris on orbit. As governments, and their myriad agencies, seek to preserve access to the benefits of space, how can collaboration reduce redundancies and avoid the complications of differing definitions, priorities, and data standards? SWF and ESA co-hosted a luncheon panel discussion on international collaboration concerning space safety. Speakers and panelists discussed the roles of governments and industry, technical hurdles, and other challenges. Speakers Keynotes: Johann-Dietrich Wörner, Director General, European Space Agency Patrick Besha, Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of the Administrator at NASA Headquarters Panelists: Jim Cooper, Senior Systems Engineer, Space Situational Awareness, Analytical Graphics, Inc. Todd Harrison, Director, CSIS Aerospace Security Project and Defense Budget Analysis Diane Howard, Professor of Commercial Space Operations/Spaceflight Ops, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Bill Murtagh, Program Coordinator, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center Charity Weeden, US Managing Representative, Astroscale Moderator: Victoria Samson, Washington Office Director, Secure World Foundation More details can be found at the event page on the SWF website.
Constellations, a New Space and Satellite Innovation Podcast
Hear Doug Loverro, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, share his thoughts on current space policy and the clear need for international agreements and regulation to turn space into an economic reality. Doug discusses space situational awareness and the essential requirement to know where things are and where they are going in order to avoid space collisions that would be catastrophic. He makes an analogy to unregulated city traffic in the 1900’s where the lack of traffic rules clearly enabled chaos and collisions. Space is a vast wilderness with plenty of economic potential, however many companies will not exercise their economic destiny until rules and a clear infrastructure, like traffic signals, are put into place.
Recorded December 9, 2014 Space situational awareness (SSA) - commonly defined as knowledge about the space environment and activities in space - is an important part of space sustainability, safety, and security. SSA has historically been mostly a military mission that focused on tracking the locations of objects in space and detecting space-based threats. However, the nature of SSA is evolving as the number of actors in space increases, including an increasing proportion of non-governmental players and space activities, and the nature of the threats to active satellites diversifies and expands to include natural and human-generated threats, as well as intentional and unintentional threats. Secure World Foundation (SWF) held a luncheon panel discussion to discuss the changing nature of SSA and examine initiatives being developed by both the U.S. government and non-governmental entities to enhance SSA.

Der Bedarf an einer umfassenden Beobachtung und Katalogisierung der unmittelbaren Umgebung der Erde im Weltraum wird täglich größer. Zunehmender Satellitenverkehr und Weltraumschrott aber auch wechselnde Sonnenaktivität und erdnahe Asteroiden erfordern unsere Aufmerksamkeit, um Raumfahrtmissionen und kritische Infrastrukturen auf der Erde zu schützen. Seit ein paar Jahren baut die ESA daher eines umfassendes System zur Beobachtung des Erdumfelds auf. Das Space Situational Awareness Program (SSA) fasst eine Vielzahl an Beobachtungsmethoden und -systemen in einem gemeinsamen Konzept zusammen, um in Echtzeit Entscheidungen über mögliche Objekt-Kollisionen im Orbit, mögliche Eintritte von Asteroiden in die Erdatmosphäre und den Einfluss des Weltraumwetters auf Missionen und Infrastrukturen treffen zu können.
