BENGALURU: The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Wednesday formally declared its SSA (Space Situational Awareness) Control Centre in Bengaluru operational.
In view of the ever-growing population of space objects and the recent trend towards mega-constellations, SSA has become an integral and indispensable part of safe and sustainable space operations, Isro said adding it has been carrying out SSA activities, mainly focused on safeguarding India’s space assets for the last few decades.
“.Recognising the need for dedicated efforts to tackle the emerging challenges of operating in an exceedingly crowded and contested space domain, the Directorate of SSA and Management (DSSAM) has been established to engage in evolving improved operational mechanisms to protect space assets through effective coordination amongst Isro centres, other space agencies and international bodies, and establishment of necessary supporting infrastructures,” Isro said.
