COMSPOC CEO Paul Graziani will speak at the 9th Prague Space Security Conference on Monday, June 15, at 8:35 a.m., joining Panel 1 to discuss strategic stability in an era of asymmetric threats. COMSPOC is proud to be a sponsor of this year’s conference, hosted by @pssi_prague from June 14-16. Titled “Space Races Reimagined: Lunar Ambitions, Ground-Based Competition, and Principled Governance,” the event will focus on strategic competition with China, its rapidly advancing cislunar and lunar ambitions, and the need for principled space stewardship.

At COMSPOC, we believe there are eight essential attributes to a truly comprehensive SSA operations center. The ability to generate SSA internally, behind whatever security you need, is one of these essential attributes. An on-premises operations center gives you complete control of the observation data you use, the breadth of your catalog, and the focus of your analysis — enabling you to produce highly accurate, low latency SSA with privacy and protection.

COMSPOC is attending the SSA Operators’ Workshop, hosted by @SpaceNav2, June 2-5 in Boulder, Colorado. This workshop brings satellite operators together to share best practices and support safer spaceflight operations. COMSPOC Senior Research Astrodynamicist Sal Alfano will present “Alternative Risk Metrics - PcMax” on Tuesday, June 2, from 9:50 to 10:05 a.m. Senior Research Astrodynamicist Dave Vallado will also be attending. Thank you to SpaceNav for hosting this workshop.

At COMSPOC, we believe there are eight essential attributes to a truly comprehensive SSA operations center. The ability to support operations in any orbit is one of these essential attributes. In addition to fusing data from any type of sensor, SSASuite harmonizes observation data across LEO, MEO, GEO, and cislunar space to create a comprehensive view of the space environment from Earth to the Moon.

NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, goes inside COMSPOC’s operations center for an in-depth look at SSA, and the rapid advance of Chinese space capabilities. As part of a feature on the importance of commercial technologies in the space sector, this piece explores how COMSPOC uses its own commercially available SSASuite software platform to track objects in orbit, analyze satellite behavior, and support real-world decision-making. COMSPOC CEO Paul Graziani discusses the growing importance of actionable space domain awareness to support safety, security, and informed decision-making.

Ars Technica recently featured analysis by @COMSPOC_OPS in its coverage of growing activity in geosynchronous orbit. The article, “Three’s a party: US, China, and now Russia are on the prowl in GEO,” by @StephenClark1, examines how U.S., Chinese and Russian satellites are maneuvering in GEO as reconnaissance and surveillance activity increases. Orbit solutions produced using COMSPOC’s SSASuite helped show the activity between USA-325 and Russia’s Kosmos 2589, including two close approaches per day and a closest approach of about 13 kilometers on May 1. The ability to quickly detect and characterize such refined maneuvering is one of the essential elements that separates SDA from ordinary SSA.

At COMSPOC, we believe there are eight essential attributes to a truly comprehensive SSA operations center. The ability to fuse data from all sensor types is one of these essential attributes. SSASuite fuses data from all available sensors to take advantage of the strengths of each and, likewise, to ameliorate their weaknesses.
