Space Situational Awareness (SSA)

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) refers to the ability to detect, track, and understand objects and activities in space, such as satellites, debris, and other spacecraft. It involves monitoring the space environment to predict potential collisions, assess threats, and ensure the safety and security of space assets. SSA includes gathering data from various sources, analyzing that information, and sharing it with stakeholders. This awareness helps nations and organizations make informed decisions about space operations, protect valuable technologies, and foster responsible behavior in space to minimize risks for all users.
