Abstract:
On Feb. 14, 2017 the Indian Space Research Organization launched 104 satellites with a single rocket. This single launch illustrates the increasingly difficult problem of maintaining space situational awareness. Space based constellations are becoming much larger, with some in current design planned to be in the thousands. In addition, the number of countries and organizations that are participating in space is growing at an unprecedented rate, creating difficulties with maintaining the satellite ancillary data including intended use and ownership.
