Developed for the industry, by the industry 🛰️   The Space Data Association was formed by industry-leading satellite operators who identified the need for a highly accurate and reliable flight safety solution.   The Space Safety Portal is built on decades of operational knowledge and experience: 🛰️ The SSP generates synthetic covariance on owner/operator ephemeris and SP data to enable PoC, in addition to several other methods, including maximum probability. 🛰️ The SSP includes additional data in screening and works with other data partners to further improve its SSA capabilities and to reduce gaps in data. 🛰️ To enhance data security, GMV has developed a new web portal and backend API to ensure security of SDA member data.   The Space Data Association is an independent and non-partisan organisation.

Our Chairman, David Zamora is featured in this article from Constellations where Madeline Durrett considers the question of autonomy in satellite operations. Zamora addresses the fact that satellite operators are now tasked with managing risks across vast constellations, necessitating precise, real-time data to make critical decisions - and how automation can help.
