"The Department of Commerce is building this system in close cooperation with industry partners to harness and promote commercial innovation in space," Commerce Deputy Secretary Don Graves said in a statement. "Together, we are helping to ensure the safe and sustainable growth of the space economy."
"TraCSS will provide conjunction data messages for approximately 1,000 space objects six times a day in phase 1.0."
The nine satellite operators involved in the phase 1.0 deployment of TraCSS include NOAA, Maxar, Telesat, Intelsat, and others, emphasizing the program's collaborative nature.
According to Commerce, those providers will now receive validated safety notifications from TraCSS in the form of conjunction data messages, which are alerts describing potential collisions.
