SSA (Space Situational Awareness)

Space Situational Awareness (SSA) refers to the ability to detect, track, and predict the movement of objects in Earth's orbit, including satellites and space debris. It helps monitor potential collisions, ensure the safety of space activities, and manage the growing amount of debris. SSA involves using ground-based and space-based sensors to maintain an accurate picture of the space environment. This awareness is crucial for preventing accidents, protecting space assets, and maintaining reliable satellite services that society depends on, such as communication, navigation, and weather forecasting.
