Europe has built and continues to expand a 19-nation EU SST (Space Surveillance and Tracking) network, now operating more than 150 sensors. The UAE has spearheaded the creation of a UN SSA Expert Group, the first global forum dedicated to technical coordination. Across Southeast Asia, ASEAN nations are actively linking data centres, pooling expertise, and building shared capacity. Meanwhile, private actors such as SDA, GMV, Spaceflux, and BULL are already deploying operational tools and setting de facto norms, well ahead of regulation.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2025/12/belgium-bulgaria-lithuania-and-luxembourg-are-set-to-join-eu-sst-partnership/ Mon, 29 Dec 2025 07:00:00 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=70053 With the adoption of the European Commission's Implementing Decision on 17 December 2025, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Luxembourg's applications to join the EU SST Partnership have been approved. Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Luxembourg declared their interest in joining the EU SST Partnership in late 2024..

The conclusions address the challenges of an increasingly congested orbital space and the need for a common approach to ensure a safe and sustainable European space policy. As a result, the conclusions stress the urgency of developing an EU space traffic management (STM) approach, which will contribute to space safety, sustainability and security, and welcome the progress made so far.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/11/eu-sst-wins-t-s-kelso-award-for-flight-safety-contributions/ Mon, 13 Nov 2023 07:00:58 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=52233 Space Data Association has announced The European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking Partnership (EU SST) as the recipient of the T.S. Kelso Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to space flight safety. The EU SST Partnership relies on the SSA capabilities of 15 Member states of the European Union to provide space safety services, with the EU Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) acting as the Front Desk.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/european-council-advocates-space-traffic-management/ Tue, 30 May 2023 06:00:10 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=49105 The European Council has adopted conclusions on the ‘Fair and sustainable use of space’, which includes a call for a European approach to space traffic management at a time when orbits are increasingly congested with space objects.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2022/05/gmv-to-provides-core-software-for-german-armed-forces/ Thu, 05 May 2022 07:00:08 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=40793 The German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has recently contracted Atos and OHB Digital Connect to supply the "Space Situational Awareness Center Expansion Stage 1” to the German Federal Armed Forces. The system will enable the monitoring of space and the protection of critical German infrastructure in orbit. ]]> https://spacewatch.global/2021/11/gmv-to-catalogue-space-debris-for-german-space-agency/ Thu, 04 Nov 2021 07:00:15 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=36978 Following an open call for tenders, GMV has been awarded a contract by the German Space Agency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), GMV announced.
