Space Operations Center

A Space Operations Center (SOC) is a command and control facility responsible for managing and monitoring space assets like satellites, space stations, and spacecraft. It ensures these assets operate correctly, are protected from threats, and carry out their missions efficiently. The center processes data, coordinates communications, and makes real-time decisions to support national security, scientific research, or commercial activities in space. Essentially, it acts as the hub for overseeing and safeguarding our activities in space, much like a traffic control center but for satellites and spacecraft.
