Space Data Association

Space Data Association (SDA) is a collaboration among satellite operators aimed at improving space safety and reducing the risk of collisions in Earth's orbit. It facilitates the sharing of satellite position data and information about planned maneuvers. By pooling this information, member organizations can better track each other's satellites, enhance coordination, and respond proactively to potential collision threats. This collective approach helps ensure the long-term sustainability of space operations and protects valuable assets from accidents in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.
