"Space Force Partners with Private Sector for Space Tracking Data"

Lt. Gen. David Miller of the U.S. Space Force's Space Operations Command expects the private sector to play a crucial role in providing space tracking data and analytics capabilities to address the increasing congestion and threats to satellites in orbit. He emphasized the need for actionable intelligence and rapid decision cycles, pointing out that commercial companies can help with analytics, data interpretation, and speed in decision cycles. The Space Force is refining its plan to leverage commercial services and is expected to release a document examining how it could partner with the commercial space industry in the near future.
