Abstract:
Today, satellites and space-based systems are indispensable for the provision of critical services. Understanding and forecasting the space environment, especially space weather, near-Earth objects, and the population of space debris is needed to protect our space-based infrastructure. The rapidly growing number of smaller satellites and maturing plans for deploying large constellations of satellites further increase the need for reliable and timely information on the space object population.
