DoD Adds to Space Situational Awareness Website

DoD has announced additions to its space situational awareness program’s Space-Track.org website, incorporating new high-quality positional information on space debris to help owner-operators better protect satellites from objects, which could help slow the creation of space debris. There are over 17,000 space objects (about 1,100 are active satellites), with debris resulting from multiple launches and various collisions over the years.
