Space Data Center

The Space Data Center is the satellite community’s first global operator-led network for sharing high-accuracy operational data to improve overall space situational awareness and satellite operations. It was initiated by the Space Data Association (SDA) and is operated by Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) in Exton, PA.

The data center provides timely, actionable satellite collision warnings for SDA members

Built on AGI’s commercial software, the data center provides SDA members networked access to operational capabilities through a service-oriented architecture. The Space Data Center automatically ingests and processes operator-orbital data; performs conjunction assessments and generates automated warning alerts; supports avoidance maneuver planning and efficient RFI mitigation. It is an enhancement of AGI’s SOCRATES-GEO/LEO system.
