SST (Space Surveillance and Tracking)

Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) refers to the methods and technologies used to monitor objects in space, such as satellites and space debris. This system ensures the safety and sustainability of operations in Earth's orbit by tracking these objects' positions and predicting potential collisions. SST helps agencies and companies avoid accidents, maintain satellite functionality, and manage space traffic. By gathering data on space debris and other objects, SST plays a crucial role in protecting valuable space assets and supporting responsible space exploration and utilization.
