The Space Data Association

The Space Data Association (SDA) is a group of satellite operators working together to improve safety in Earth's orbit. They share real-time data about the positions of satellites and space debris to prevent collisions. By coordinating this information, the SDA helps ensure satellites can avoid each other and maintain their proper paths, reducing the risk of accidents in space that could disrupt communications, navigation, and other services we rely on daily. It’s a collaborative effort to keep space operations safe and sustainable.
