The objective of the ESA SpaceSituational Awareness (SSA) programme is to support Europe's independent
utilisation of, and access to, space through the provision of timely and
accurate information, data and services regarding the space environment, and
particularly regarding hazards to infrastructure in orbit and on the ground.
The SSA programme will,
ultimately, enable Europe to autonomously detect, predict and assess the risk
to life and property due to man-made space objects (remnant debris, re-entries,
in-orbit explosions and release events, in-orbit collisions, disruption of
missions and satellite-based service capabilities), potential impacts of Near-
Earth Objects (NEOs), and the effects of space weather phenomena on space- and
ground-based infrastructure.(Read more)
