Space Enabled Affiliated Researcher Kevin O'Connell is one of the witnesses who will testify at a hearing of the Subcommittee on Space and Science, part of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, at an event entitled, "Space Situational Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Orbital Debris: Examining Solutions for Emerging Threats." 

WASHINGTON, D.C.— US Senator John Hickenlooper, Chair of the Subcommittee on Space and Science, will convene a hearing titled “Space Situational Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Orbital Debris: Examining Solutions for Emerging Threats” at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 22, 2021. Reliable space situational awareness (“SSA”) data and civil space traffic management (“STM”) services are critical to enabling continued growth of the innovative commercial space industry. As the number of satellites in orbit rapidly increases, the nation must redouble its efforts to track and manage objects in space. Witnesses will discuss the policies, programs, and research needed for effective civil SSA, STM, and orbital debris mitigation.
