US Military Integrates Commercial Space Surveillance Feeds
The US Space Force is developing prototype software to automate the integration of commercial and military space tracking data, according to Col. Barry Croker of Mission Delta 2. The system prioritizes speed over precision, accepting lower-fidelity commercial observations to get faster reads on new debris clouds and freshly launched satellite clusters. NASA has also awarded SpaceX $946 million for three more crew missions, as reported by Teslarati. The Space Force’s efforts were first reported by Breaking Defense.
