The Office of Space Commerce (OSC) is collaborating with SpaceX to explore the company’s advanced satellite collision avoidance software, which could enhance civil space traffic coordination systems.
This partnership, formalized through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, will involve an astrodynamics evaluation of SpaceX’s tools used to manage its Starlink broadband satellites. The initiative aims to develop capabilities for managing the increasingly crowded orbital environment, contributing to space safety and sustainability efforts.
