Abstract

The Polish activities in the SSA domain despite having been continuously developed from the beginning of the space era however have until recently mainly concentrated on the science and research domain. The Polish participation in various international SSA initiatives such as ESA SSA/Space Safety Programme, European Space Surveillance and Tracking Consortium (EUSST) represented by Polish Space Agency (POLSA) or Space Weather Service for ICAO PECASUS consortium represented by Space Research Centre of Polish Academy of Science has shifted those activities also into the operational domain. The current SSA system in Poland is based on the pool of the Polish scientific and commercial assets organized by the Polish space administration. Currently, Polish SST network consists of over 20 optical sensors operating for national purposes with a part contributing to EUSST. The paper presents a general outlook of SSA capability in Poland focusing mainly on the SST component, a preview of recent developments, and the preliminary results in terms of photometric solutions as an effort to extend current operational Polish capabilities in preparation for the future more complex environment in support of national and European efforts.
