Request for Information on Industry Needs for Space Situational Awareness Data and Value-Added Services, and Related Liability Considerations
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Department), via the Office of Space Commerce (OSC), requests input from all interested parties on spacecraft operator needs for U.S. government space situational awareness (SSA) data and basic spaceflight safety services; private sector concerns regarding usage rights for SSA data and products; and a framework for legal liability associated with the provision and use of SSA data and basic spaceflight safety services. This input will inform OSC’s development of capabilities to share SSA data and provide basic spaceflight safety services to all space operators.
