Traffic Coordination System for Space
The Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS) is the OSC's civil space traffic coordination system. When fully operational, TraCSS will enhance space situational awareness by providing frequent conjunction data messages to satellite operators. NOAA awarded the systems integrator role for the TraCSS system to Parsons Corporation in March 2024. TraCSS entered phase 1.0 beta testing on September 30, 2024, with nine operators participating in the testing phase: The Aerospace Corporation, Eutelsat OneWeb, Georgia Tech, Intelsat, Iridium, Maxar, NOAA, Planet Labs and Telesat. TraCSS is intended to replace the United States Space Surveillance Network's Space-Track service by the end of 2025. == References ==
