Space Situational Awareness and Launch

Abstract

Working with commercial providers, develop and demonstrate enhanced space situational awareness (SSA) and small-to-medium launch service access to provide SSA on large numbers of small satellites in LEO, including tracking, orbit determination, orbital state and uncertainty propagation, conjunction prediction, and collision avoidance. This effort will leverage existing Government and commercial tools and approaches to extend capabilities for a pLEO environment. In addition, this effort will identify and contract for launch of small-to-medium size payloads, to demonstrate responsive constitution and replenishment.
