Abstract

The global space sector is undergoing a profound transformation and some trends currently observed (e.g. increased traffic, new actors, emerging concepts) are raising new safety and security concerns for space infrastructures. This situation has been widely acknowledged by governmental and commercial stakeholders, including European ones. Space surveillance and tracking (SST) capabilities are one of the tools to address these growing space security concerns.This paper proposes a thorough contextual analysis of the current state of play of the space surveillance and tracking domain in Europe. The analysis covers European and national frameworks as well as private initiatives and concludes with the identification of some key elements to take into consideration for the future of European SST capabilities.
