Office of Space Commerce starts space traffic coordination system
Posted: Sat, Oct 5, 2024, 9:57 AM ET (1357 GMT)
The Office of Space Commerce turned on its space traffic coordination system for a set of beta users Monday. Nine satellite operators will use phase 1.0 of the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), getting conjunction data messages from TraCSS. Those operators include a mix of companies that have satellites in low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit, with about 1,000 satellites overall included in this phase of TraCSS. The Office of Space Commerce will use feedback from those beta users to guide later phases of TraCSS, with upgrades planned on a quarterly basis through next September. TraCSS will ultimately replace the Defense Department's Space-Track system to provide space traffic coordination services to civil and commercial users.
